Hey there, crochet friends! It’s Katy from KT and the Squid, and in this post I’m excited to walk you through this super easy, beginner-friendly infinity crochet scarf. But before we dive into the project, let’s talk a bit about the star of the show: the yarn.
I recently had the pleasure of trying out Riot DK from King Cole, as I’m proudly one of their ambassadors. Riot is a DK weight blend, consisting of 30% wool and 70% premium acrylic. With a generous 324 yards per skein, it provides ample yardage for various projects. What caught my eye about this yarn is its long striping color changes, which add a delightful touch to any piece.
However, it’s essential to note that this yarn is single-ply and has a slight halo (fuzzy) to it, making frogging (undoing stitches) a bit tricky. So, I advise being cautious and minimizing frogging attempts to avoid frustration.
You can find a King Cole Stockist near you or purchase this yarn from Love Crafts
Now, let’s get into the fun part: crocheting your very own infinity scarf! This project is exceptionally beginner-friendly, as evidenced by my daughter who has only been crocheting a few months picking up the technique within minutes of watching me. So, whether you’re a seasoned crocheter or just starting out, you’ll find this project accessible and enjoyable. And is you’d like to watch a video tutorial of this project I’ve got one for you!
Free Crochet Infinity Scarf Pattern
Materials
King Cole Riot (or any yarn)
- For my sample I used the colorway Pink Sky. This yarn is 30% wool and 70% Premium Acrylic. 324 yds/100g.
G+/4.5mm hook (or any hook appropriate for your yarn)
Yarn needle
Scissors
Abbreviations
Ch = chain
St = stitch
Hhdc = herringbone half double crochet
Hdc = herringbone double crochet
Sc = single crochet
Gauge
Gauge is not important to this project.
Sizes
I made mine about 2 yards in circumference and 5” wide but you can adjust this however you’d like.
Notes
- Please read all instructions before beginning.
- This scarf is worked in continuous rounds.
Special Stitches
Herringbone Double Crochet (Hdc): Yo, insert hook into st indicated, yo, pull through st AND 1st loop on hook, yo, pull through 1 loop, yo pull through last 2 loops.
Instructions
Start by chaining any number of chains. This can be any length. I made mine about 2 yards long (I measure a yard from my nose to the tip on my outstretched hand). Being careful not to twist, join to the first ch.
Round 1 – Ch 1 (does not count as a st), Hhdc in the 1st ch, Hdc in every ch around, do NOT join.
Round 2 – Hdc in every st around, join.
Repeat round 2 until your scarf measures your desired width (or until you run out of yarn).
I finished with about 18″ of yarn left.
To taper the ending work 2 Hhdc, 1 sc and a slip st.
Fasten off, weave in ends.
And there you have it—a cozy and stylish infinity scarf, perfect for keeping warm or adding a pop of color to any outfit! Whether you’re crocheting for yourself or gifting to a loved one, this project is sure to delight.
I hope you enjoyed this tutorial!

Thanks for the free infinity scarf pattern. Can’t wait to try it. I really, really love the one you have on at the top of the page. Looks like lots of little flowers. Is this one of yours or where can I find it? Thanks again.
That’s my Running Wheels Scarf 🙂

Can you tell me how this scarf fits? I would like to end up with a warm scarf and two yards in length (for the starting chain) seems like it may hang a bit even when wrapped around once. I realize I can shorten it by using less chains but I figured I would ask how it fits before doing that. Thanks so much for the pattern!
With this length I wrap mine 2 times to hang on my chest. I think it would be too long only wrapped once.
When I was making my starting chain I kept joining and wrapping it around my neck until I got a length I liked. You could try that 🙂
Thanks so much for your reply! This advise will help a lot. Love the stitch!
Can you tell me how many chains you started with to get this length? You are the same size as my friend, and that is the perfect length.
Honestly, I didn’t count I just chained until I reach about 2 yards.
This is an adorable scarf. I found my Christmas gifts for my nieces : ) Thank you for sharing!
Love your patterns-thanks for sharing!
Thanks!
Hi, love the pattern. It was very easy to follow. I finished it but don’t know how to upload the picture to your site to show you.
Hi Janet,
If you are on Ravelry you can add it as a project.

I haven’t even made it halfway through the first row and I can already tell that I’m going to love this pattern! Did you come up with the herringbone double crochet stitch? It’s wonderful! I’m going to make a whole bunch of these scarves for Christmas
I found the herringbone in one of my favorite books Crochet Stitches Visual Encyclopedia by Robyn Chachula 🙂
I’ve been playing around with it for some other projects with it as well. I love that it’s thinner so I’m thinking it will be great for spring/simmer items too.
Glad you like it!
Katy
I have been making something similar using double crochet and half double crochet, but I love your pattern much better. Question – When crocheting rounds 2+, do you go in the back loops only, or do you crochet under both loops (in the space per se) (not sure of proper vocabulary 🙂 ?
Hi Jaymie,
I go in both loops 🙂

For some reason there is no picture of the scarf showing on this page. And when I click on link (that shows up where the picture should be) I get a “404 Error” page.
Is there another link to a picture of this scarf?
It should be fixed now. Thanks!
Thanks for showing me a new crochet stitch on this rainy Saturday! I’m halfway through the scarf already!
Hi, visiting you via Moogly.com. Congratulations on the feature. That is a really pretty infinity scarf which I think won’t be too intimidating for those trying a cowl for the first time. Thanks for sharing! Pinned.
