Skill Level: Beginner

Materials Needed:

  • Worsted weight yarn (about 200-250 yards)
  • Crochet hook (size H/5.0mm recommended)
  • Scissors
  • Yarn needle

Finished Size: Approximately 60 inches (150 cm) in circumference and 6 inches (15 cm) in width.

Gauge: 4 stitches and 3 rows = 1 inch in single crochet (gauge is not crucial for this project)

Abbreviations:

  • ch: chain
  • sc: single crochet
  • hdc: half double crochet
  • dc: double crochet
  • st(s): stitch(es)
  • rep: repeat

Pattern:

Foundation Row: Ch 220. Be careful not to twist the chain; join with a slip stitch to the first chain to form a ring.

Round 1: Ch 1 (does not count as a stitch here and throughout), sc in the same st as join and in each st around; join with a slip stitch to the first sc. (220 sc)

Round 2: Ch 2, dc in the same st as join, skip 2 sts, [dc, ch 1, dc] in the next st (V-stitch made), skip 2 sts, dc in the next st; rep from * to * around; join with a slip stitch to the top of the beginning ch-2. (36 V-stitches)

Round 3: Ch 1, sc in the same st as join and in each st and ch-1 space around; join with a slip stitch to the first sc. (220 sc)

Round 4: Ch 2, dc in the same st as join, skip 2 sts, [dc, ch 1, dc] in the next sc (V-stitch), skip 2 sts, dc in the next sc; rep from * to * around; join with a slip stitch to the top of the beginning ch-2.

Repeat Rounds 3 and 4: Repeat Rounds 3 and 4 until the scarf reaches your desired width. End with Round 3.

Finishing: Fasten off and weave in any loose ends using a yarn needle.

Optional: To create an infinity scarf, twist the scarf once before joining the ends together to form a loop. Secure the ends together using a slip stitch or your preferred joining method.

This pattern is easily customizable. You can adjust the width of the scarf by adding or subtracting stitches in multiples of 3. Feel free to experiment with different colors and yarn types to create a unique and cozy accessory for any season.

Happy crocheting!
