Why This Crochet Infinity Scarf Pattern Is Beginner Friendly
This crochet infinity scarf pattern is perfect for beginners because it uses very simple stitches. The half double crochet stitch is used to make this scarf, and because of how it is worked, it creates what looks like knit ribbing.
Experienced crocheters should be able to whip this simple scarf up in about 2 hours. If you are new to crocheting, it might take you a bit longer, but you will have a cute and easy-to-wear scarf when you’re done.
I love working on simple crochet patterns like this, especially when I want an easy project to keep my hands busy while I binge-watch my favorite shows.
Soft Chunky Yarn
For this crochet infinity scarf pattern, I decided to use Hometown yarn from Lion Brand in their Vermont Green. This is a category 6 or super bulky weight yarn, so it works up nice and quick.
This yarn is so soft and comfy to wear, and compared to some other bulky yarns, I find it very flexible when wrapping your scarf around.
This is really important to me because I want to make a scarf that looks great and has flexibility, but can be finished in less than a day, too.
If you don’t have a category 6 yarn, then you can try substituting 2 strands of heavy worsted or category 5 bulky held together instead.
Make sure to work up a swatch first to check your gauge before using an alternative yarn weight.

Materials Needed
- 2 balls of Lion Brand Hometown yarn (Super bulky number 6). You can find good deals on this yarn on Amazon but I find the best color selection is right from Lion Brand.
- 7.0 mm crochet hook (This is in-between a K and L hook)
- Tape measure
- Yarn needle
- Scissors
Sizes
One size fits most adults, women, and men.
The finished scarf is 4.5” wide and 36” long after folding in half.
Gauge
9 stitches & 5.5 rows in 4” x 4 “ – But gauge is really unimportant for this pattern as long as you are happy with the length of your starting chain.
Pattern Notes
The chain two counts as the first stitch throughout the pattern.
Stitches Used (In US Terms)
- Ch – chain
- Sl – Slip stitch
- Hdc – half double crochet
- Blhdc – back loop half double crochet
Chain 162.
Row 1: Half double crochet in the 3rd stitch from the hook and across. Then chain 2 and turn.
Row 2: Remember the chain 2 in this pattern counts as your first stitch.
So starting in the 2nd stitch from the hook work a blhdc and in every stitch across. When you reach the end chain 2 and turn.
Row 3-6: Repeat row 2 until you’ve completed 6 rows total. If you want to make your scarf wider then simply keep repeating row 2 until it’s as wide as you like.
When finished fold the scarf with wrong sides facing out and slip stitch the seam together. Fasten off the yarn and weave the ends in.
