I finished my infinity scarf!
But it’s still at least a
couple of months before I will be able to wear it as autumn arrives late to
California. I’m not in a hurry though and I’m very much enjoying summer days.
I’m more than pleased with how my scarf turned
out. It’s soft and nice to touch. And it definitely looks much better on me
than on the hanger in the photos. I might post more pictures once I actually
get to wear my scarf.

Skill Level: Easy
Size: about 9.5 inches wide, about 65 inches long (before stitching)
Materials: Baby Alpaca Worsted Glow yarn in Olive
by Plymouth Yarn, 5 balls (500 yards)
Crochet Hook US size F (3.75 mm)
Shell in this pattern: (2 dc, ch 2, 2 dc) all in
same space.
Ch 58 loosely.
Ch 58 loosely.
Row 1: shell in 6th ch from hook, *ch 3, skip 5
ch, sc in next ch, ch 3, skip 5 ch, shell in next ch* across, skip 3 ch, dc in
last ch.
Row 2: ch 6, turn; *sc in next shell, ch 3, shell
in next sc, ch 3* across, end with sc in last shell, ch 3, dc in last dc (Note, here by last dc I actually mean the turning ch, so in Row 2 make last dc in top of turning chain. But starting from Row 4 and onward, make last dc into 2nd (not 3rd) ch of turning ch-3. This way you will have a nice, straight edge).
Row 3: ch 3, turn; *shell in next sc, ch 3, sc in
next shell, ch 3,* across, end with shell in next sc, dc into 2nd (count from bottom) ch of turning
ch-6.
Repeat Row 2 – Row 3 until your scarf measures
about 65 inches, ending with Row 2. Fasten off, but leave a tail long enough to stitch the shorter
ends of the scarf together (about 18-20 inches).
Lay your scarf on a flat surface. Flip one side to
form a twist. Stitch the shorter ends together using a tapestry needle. Wave in
the ends.

ReplyDeleteОльга, шарф смотрится очень красиво!
ReplyDeleteIt is so pretty. I have never heard of an infinity scarf until recently and now it is very popular.
ReplyDeleteToo beautiful shawl .....
ReplyDeleteAjka
Lovely! Thank you VERY much for such a pretty pattern. I'm making it right now, just started this evening. I'm using a deep turquoise yarn, Simply Soft, with a size G hook. Very pretty!
ReplyDeleteThis looks so pretty! Love your lacy patterns! :)
ReplyDeleteque preciosidad!!! me encanta!! un besito.maria:)
ReplyDeleteLoving it!!! 8-)
ReplyDeleteFor what it's worth, I've now down about 12" of the scarf and the pattern is working fine, no glitches. I probably won't make it the full length b/c I don't think I have that much yarn. Thanks again!
ReplyDeletelooks fantastic, will add it to my project list! thanks so much for sharing on craft schooling Sunday!
ReplyDeleteOlga, it's beautiful! How big are the balls of yarn?
ReplyDeleteOlga, it's beautiful! How big are the balls of yarn?
ReplyDelete50 grams, approximately 102 yards
DeleteI love it and it looks so great.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for sharing the pattern .
I still have some beautiful yarn for a scarf left for a gift.
Will give it a try.
I LOVE it!!! I collect scarfs, and I know this one needs to be added to the collection! I am not sure what you mean by sc into shell... The shell is 6 stiches, right? So do you sc into all of them? Sorry to be a pain, but I am a complete beginner at crocheting.
ReplyDeleteNo problem, don't hesitate asking questions.
DeleteThe shell is (2 dc, ch 2, 2 dc),
so you would make sc (only one!) in the middle of the shell, which would be ch-2 space.
Super cute! I'm in the process of making one in black for myself. Question: is it really 65 inches in length before stitching together? That seems like it would hang to low. Maybe it covers the back more than I can see in the picture.
ReplyDeleteYes, it's 65 inches before stitching. Mine looks ok when I wrap it around my neck twice, not too low.
DeleteIs it alright if I reblog this on my blog with a link to the pattern? This is such a pretty scarf!
ReplyDeleteYou can post about this scarf on your blog, but please don't repost the pattern, give a link to my original pattern on Lacy Crochet. You can use my picture if you wish.
DeleteWonderful! Thank you!
DeleteOlga is this in US terminology
ReplyDeleteLove
Fran
Yes, it's in US crochet terminology.
DeleteVery nice and easy cowl ! Thank youuu !!!
ReplyDeletethanks for sharing....would love to make one for myself
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful! Will be making as my next project. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteI love this pattern, I am now making one for myself and know others will beg for it!
ReplyDeleteThis is so pretty! I think I'm going to make one just like it! I'm betting my mom will love one in that color! Thank you! Sounds easy enough that maybe I can do it LOL!
ReplyDeleteSo, so pretty! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteI followed the pattern and my scarf is so thick! I think it could have been less wide to have less material to bunch up around the neck... or a gage on the pattern to compare it to!
ReplyDeletethankyou! It is so warm!
So pretty -making one now. Do you just stitch ends together straight - I'm not getting how to twist. Thank you
ReplyDeleteHi Leigh, you need to put your scarf straight on a flat service, then flap one end to the other side, so the whole crocheted piece is twisted now. Keeping that twist, stitch together the ends.
DeleteHope this helps. Can't think of any other way to explain.
Thank you for this pattern. I just finished making one and it came out great. Very nice pattern!
ReplyDeleteWhat other yarn would work as well as the Plymouth Baby Alpaca Worsted which is not readily available to me?
ReplyDeleteTry other wool yarns. I wouldn't recommend acrylic because I think it's too stiff compared to wool and will not create that flowy and drapy affect.
DeleteHi Olga..thank u for sharing such beautiful work. I think I'm a moron because I cant seem to get it right when it comes to the 2nd and 3rd rows. My work looks like a mess and maybe I'm just not understanding. Please help!
ReplyDeleteHi Lisa, I'll make a photo tutorial for this stitch after the Holidays. In the meantime, if you send me a close-up picture of your work, I'll try to help (you can find my e-mail in my profile).
DeleteHello :-) very beautiful have 1 question u might have wrote it already but i didnt c it sorry how wide is it u said 65 inches long but the first 58 chains? Sorry n thanks
ReplyDeleteIt's about 10 inches wide.
DeleteThank u very much :-)
DeleteBlogged and cited your blog! http://megandewitt.blogspot.com/2013/12/infinity-scarf.html
ReplyDeleteJust see this scarf on Pinterest. I LOVE it! It's fabulous and the color is wonderful ! Do you sell such ones?!
ReplyDeleteThank you for the pattern. I'm trying to make it but I find my edges aren't coming out straight. I've started over many times and each time I'm having the same problem. Are they supposed to be straight? One side seems to be more straight than the other. One side is scalloped. Can you give me any advice, please?
ReplyDeleteI'll make a tutorial for this stitch in January.
DeleteThanks very much!
DeleteThank you for this. Very easy and came out great. I will have to make a couple more for gifts to make sure mine doesn't disappear when my daughter leaves for college.

ReplyDeleteWow this is so pretty! Very feminine. I just knitted a drop stitch scarf that is really pretty but I think I might have to make one of these too!

ReplyDeleteThank you for posting this scarf!! it sure is lovely.. my question is.. do you have any simple skirt/ or beach skirt for summer. I am looking for one, I find some but they are in a different language .. love you work
ReplyDeleteI blocked this scarf last night (my first time) and now the scarf is way longer!! Should I unravel back to 65"? Did I do something wrong?
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! I just finished mine and I LOVE it! Thanks so much for sharing! I have one question, I want to make another one a little thinner. In the beginning chain what multiples do you use for this pattern?
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! I just finished mine and I LOVE it! Thanks so much for sharing! I have one question, I want to make another one a little thinner. In the beginning chain what multiples do you use for this pattern?
ReplyDeleteI'm loving this pattern. I'm using a standing double crochet at the ends in place of the chain 3 and it makes for a nice straight edge :) Thank you!!
ReplyDeleteLove the scarf - such a beautiful color - u do such amazing work - hope I can do a smidgeon of what yours looks like - tk u so much for sharing.
ReplyDeletewalmart does not carry this particular yarn but does carry caron simply soft yarn. can i use this yarn for the project instead?
ReplyDeleteI love this pattern but walmart does not carry this particular yarn. I do have other kinds of yarn. I live in a very small town so I am limited on types of yarn to purchase. I am still waiting for a response, please help!
ReplyDeleteI'm using a bulkier alpaca yarn and larger hook (J) and wondering if adjustments can be made to make it more narrow? Is the starting chain done in certain multiples?
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pattern! I am making some for Christmas gifts. So pretty, and relatively easy. Thank you for sharing.
ReplyDeleteMy first time visiting your blog. Definitely going to bookmark your page. Lovely scarf.
ReplyDeleteLove this! I have actually made 6 of them! But made the base ch24 longer so it was a bit wider, then added buttons to one edge! http://katidcreations.com/lacy-cowl/
ReplyDeleteI love your variation Kati. Your cowls look great!
DeleteI just made this in a grey alpaca yarn. I used the same hook and mine is a bit narrower but I love it! I will have to make it again someday as the alpaca was fuzzy and there is a sort of "halo" so the stitches are not super clear. And this is a beautiful pattern! I want to try the spider shawl - someday!
ReplyDeleteI have some yarn I'd like to use to try this...it's barely a 4 weight. Very light. About how many yards does your pattern take and what weight yarn is the baby alpaca? Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI can't figure out for the life of me how to fold this scarf, but hopefully I will one day.
ReplyDeleteYou lay the scarf on a flat surface, then flip one end over, then attach each end together. It is really easy and makes a perfect infinity scarf.
DeleteI'm struggling with the 2nd row dc, could you possibly upload a video on how to do it?
ReplyDeleteLovely. I bought some very pretty denium blue colors. I am making this for my daughter. Thanks so much for sharing.
ReplyDeleteLovely. I bought some very pretty denium blue colors. I am making this for my daughter. Thanks so much for sharing.
ReplyDeleteSo, how many yards of yarn? You state 5 balls, but how much is 5 balls? Thanks.
ReplyDeleteSo, how many yards of yarn? You state 5 balls, but how much is 5 balls? Thanks.
ReplyDeleteOne ball is about 110 yards.
DeleteHi! I love this scarf but I'm having challenges following the pattern. It really helps me when you show the step by step photos, if not maybe a video? Thanks so much. I cannot wait to make this scarf!
ReplyDeleteThe link to the tutorial is at the end of the post.
DeleteI am making your infinity scarf and have a question....when the instructions say " sc in next shell". Do you mean place sc in CH 2 space of shell?
ReplyDeleteThat's exactly what I mean!
DeleteAlso at the end of the post, there is a link to the photo tutorial.
Hello Olga.. I simply love your paterns. Your instructions are so easy to follow. & I love this Infinity Scarfe. Thank you so much
ReplyDeleteYOUR DESIGNS ARE AWESOME!!! Need a little help on the spider stitch (the opattern in green)The diagram is somewhat simple but i really could use a written pattern, stitch count for rows in particular. My brain just can't grasp diagrms yet. Thank you and have a fantabulous day!
ReplyDeleteforgot to give you my email addy....animeowsilk2u@yahoo.com TOODLES!!!
ReplyDeleteThank you Olga for your generosity in sharing this pattern. I love it and will make six in different colors for my nieces as Christmas gifts. Thank you again.
ReplyDeleteI love this pattern! Thank you so much for sharing it! I'm making this scarf to take with me to Paris this Christmas.
ReplyDeleteBlessings,

I'm adapting this by making a loop, mobius style. Will see how it comes out! :) Thank you!

ReplyDeleteI started this scarf last night and what a joy to make. The scarf is just beautiful and your pattern instructions are wonderful. I can't tell you how many 'commercial' patterns are ambiguous or have errors in them so I appreciate the clarity of your pattern. Thank you for sharing and I can't wait to follow you to discover other gems.
ReplyDeleteJust finished this in Wolltraum's 'river' gradient yarn and it looks amazing! Thanks so much!
