Today we’re learning how to crochet The Basic Infinity Scarf crochet pattern. This infinity scarf crochet pattern is an advanced beginner friendly design that works up in only an hour or two.
The Basic Infinity Scarf crochet pattern uses super bulky yarn. It’s a quick project, perfect to give as a gift or to stock up on for market prep. The pattern features an easy repeat design, making it easy to customize to any size you’d like, by making a few small adjustments, which are outlined below.
The Basic Infinity Scarf is worked in the round to create a continuous loop that fits over your head, and it can be doubled up, to create a beautiful stylish look and a lot of warmth for those colder months.
The Basic Infinity Scarf crochet pattern is written using super bulky yarn.
I like using Lion Brand Wool Ease Thick & Quick. The color shown is Oatmeal.
Sizing
The Basic Infinity Scarf crochet pattern instructions allow you to make the scarf in any size, using any yarn and hook size. Simply follow the pattern instructions until the desired length and width are met. I have included instructions for two sizes, an infinity scarf, and a cowl, using size 6 super bulky yarn and N15/10mm Crochet Hook.
Adjusting Circumference – add or subtract chains from the foundation chain (making sure you end with an even number of stitches). The finished scarf will be a few inches shorter than your foundation chain.
Adjusting Depth – add or subtract rounds.
Additionally, if you change the yarn size of the project, be sure to adjust your hook size accordingly. You want a little drape to your project, so if it’s turning out a little stiff try going up a hook size or two.
