Infinity Scarf Pattern

Well I promised my friends in my Crochet with Us! Facebook Group that I would post the pattern recipe for the Infinity Scarf I'm making so without further ado, here it is:




I used Hand Maiden Mini Maiden in Stardust, which is a wool/silk light fingering yarn that I won’t gush about right now or you’ll be reading all day, with an “F” (3.75mm) hook, but you can use any yarn and appropriate hook that you want. When in doubt, check the yarn label for a hook recommendation but remember that’s just a guide line. Be a rebel! Go up or down a size just to see what happens. Or be really crazy and change by 2 sizes. Heh heh. Damn the man! He can’t tell us rebel hookers what to do!

Pattern is easily customizable. Just chain a multiple of 11 + 4. Want it longer? Just keep stitching. Want it shorter? STOP! J

This is a simple two row repeat pattern. The only tricky stitches are front post double crochet (fpdc) and back post double crochet (bpdc). If you’ve never used either stitch, this is an excellent pattern to learn them and get comfortable with them.

Here we go:

Chain 37
Row 1:  3dc in the 4th ch from hook, *sk next 2ch, (dc in next chain, ch 1, skip next ch) twice, dc in next ch, sk next 2 ch, 3dc in the next ch,** 3dc in the next ch, rep from * across ending last rep at **, dc in last ch, turn
Row 2:  Ch3 (counts as dc), sk 1st dc, *3dc in next dc, sk next 2dc, bpdc around post of next dc, ch 1, sk next ch-1 sp, dc in next dc, ch 1, bpdc around the post of next dc, sk next 2dc, 3dc in dc, rep from * across to turning ch, dc in 3rd ch of turning ch, turn
Row 3:  Ch3(counts as dc), sk 1st dc, *3dc in next dc, sk next 2dc, fpdc around the post of the next dc, ch 1, sk next ch 1 sp, dc in next dc, ch 1, fpdc around the post of the next dc, sk next 2dc, 3dc in next dc, rep from * across to turning ch, dc in 3rd ch of turning ch, turn.
Repeat rows 2-3 for pattern.

Easy huh? When it’s as long as you want it, slip or whip stitch the ends together and voila! A simple, yet fancy looking infinity scarf.
Enjoy!

PS: Share! Share the pattern, share your finished object, make the world a brighter place! But please, if someone asks where you got the pattern, tell them it was from me, or better still, send them here! (but you don't have to, I'm not pimping my blog or anything. ;) ) I like thinking of myself as a skinny Santa Claus gifting the world with probably the only talent I have. Thank you kindly.


PPS: Yes, the “thank you kindly” means I’m Canadian eh.
