Inspiration

I absolutely love loopy infinity scarves in the fall and winter. I also love yarn that changes colors and never leaves you bored. So I created an easy to learn infinity scarf that you'll want to make again and again. This is my favorite thing to make repeatedly and I find myself reaching for one of these scarves all the time in the cold months.

This Sugar Shack Infinity Scarf is created with a large hook and DK weight yarn. Lion Brand Mandala has been a fan favorite for this. I have also made them with Lion Brand Comfy Cotton as well as some hand dyed yarn of my own. Using the large hook with the thinner yarn provides a super bouncy piece. The finished scarf is lightweight but provides so much warmth without feeling heavy.

This crochet infinity scarf has been my top seller and I absolutely love seeing everyone's creations.

Supplies Needed 

Crochet Hook: US 9/N or US 10/P

Yarn: 1 ball of Lion Brand Mandala Bonus Bundle in the color “Centaur” (for cowls pictured) or any color - 1181 yds/1080 m (10.5 oz/300 g) OR 1 ball of Lion Brand Mandala in any color 590 yds/540 m (5.3 oz/150 g)

Note: 1 ball of Bonus Bundle will create two infinity cowls. If you have one ball of regular Mandala you can create one cowl.

Gauge and Finished Dimensions: Due to the very stretchy and airy nature of this stitch, gauge can really vary and isn’t of the utmost importance.

Finished cowl measures (very) approximately 12 in/30.5 cm tall x 35 in/89 cm wide (with a 70 in/178 cm circumference)

Stitch Abbreviations

  • FHDC - Foundation Half Doube Crochet 
  • HDC - Half Double Crochet

Note: I use a foundation half double crochet chain to start because it gives a good stretch and doesn’t leave you with a super twisty chain to work into. In addition, you will not be left with a tighter first row than the rest of your rows. Using the size hook that I use for this pattern might make the FHDC look a little scary and loose, but I promise you that once you start working into it, it makes a beautiful, fluffy piece. Working with a large hook and thin yarn can be intimidating, but once you’re beyond a row or two it all comes together. Changing to a smaller hook size will alter the final size and airy feel. I give the option of a US 9/N or US 10/P because they produce the same end result.

P A T T E R N

Round 1: FHDC 139 and join to make your last stitch, for a total count of 140 FHDC. (Note: to change the size of this scarf, FHDC any amount that you would like). 

Round 2: Ch 1, HDC between each HDC stitch from your previous round (under all three loops). Repeat around. Join with a slip stitch to the top of the first HDC. (140 sts)

Repeat Round 2 for every round.
Round 2 Note: You will not be placing your HDC stitches in the top of your HDC stitch like you normally would. You will be placing every single HDC in this pattern, between the stitches, under all three loops. This is like the Single Crochet Linen/Moss Stitch, if you’re familiar with that. There should always be 3 loops on top of your hook, your top two “v-stiches” (front and back loops) and that third loop behind your normal front and back loops. If you’re using a single cake of regular Mandala you can end when you run out of yarn. If you’re using the Bonus Bundle, use up half. This is approximately 31 rows (give or take).
