Alternative Yarn Recommendations
- Caron Cakes: Shelly mentioned she had previously used Caron Cakes with great success. This is a wonderful alternative with beautiful color transitions.
- Any 4 or 5 Weight Yarn: The pattern is versatile and works well with both 4-weight and 5-weight yarns. You could use any yarn from your stash in these weights.
- Solid or Leftover Yarn: Feel free to mix and match leftover pieces of yarn from other projects. Changing colors every 2, 4, or 6 rows can create a unique and personal touch.
Hook Size
Shelly used a 5.75 mm (J) hook for this project. However, checking the yarn label for the recommended hook size and adjusting based on your preference can help achieve the desired texture and drape.
How To Crochet Squares Infinity Scarf
Materials Needed:
- Yarn: Caron Colorama O’Go Donuts (Color: Tabby). You will need 2 donuts (one and a half for the scarf and a small part for the beanie).
- Hook: J/10 (5.75 mm) crochet hook.
- Scissors.
- Tapestry needle for weaving in ends.
Pattern Instructions:
- Foundation Chain:
- Start with a slip knot.
- Chain 30. (For a different width, you can chain any multiple of stitches you desire).
- Row 1:
- Double crochet (dc) into the 3rd chain from the hook. This counts as your first double crochet.
- Double crochet into each chain across. You will have a total of 29 double crochets.
- At the end, measure your width. The tutorial measures approximately 9.75 inches in width.
- Row 2:
- Chain 2 and turn your work. This chain 2 will count as your first double crochet.
- Skip the first stitch and work a double crochet into the next stitch (2nd dc in row).
- Chain 1, skip 1 stitch, double crochet into the next stitch. Repeat dc, ch 1, skip 1 across the row.
- When you reach the end of the row, place a double crochet in the last stitch.
- Row 3:
- Chain 2 and turn.
- Skip the first stitch, double crochet into the next stitch (2nd dc).
- Double crochet into the chain-1 space from the row below, then double crochet into the top of the next stitch.
- Continue this pattern, alternating between double crochets into the top of the stitches and the chain-1 spaces, across the row.
- Finish with a double crochet into the turning chain 2 space from the row below.
- Repeating Pattern:
- Repeat rows 2 and 3 until your scarf reaches your desired length. In the video, Shelly states a standard infinity scarf length is between 50 to 60 inches. She makes hers approximately 55 inches.
- For a cowl, make it around 30-35 inches. For a longer infinity scarf, aim for 65-75 inches.
- Joining the Ends:
- Once you’ve reached the desired length, join the two ends together with a slip stitch. You can choose to twist the scarf once before joining the ends to get a Mobius style infinity scarf.

- Finishing:

- Optional Beanie:
- Shelly also mentions creating a matching beanie with the leftover yarn. This can be found in another video on her channel.
Tips:
- Make sure to keep your foundation chain loose to prevent the last row from pulling tight.
- If the colors change in the middle of the row, let it flow naturally. It adds a beautiful variation to the scarf.
- Hide any loose ends as you go by weaving them in.
By following these steps, you will have a beautiful crochet infinity scarf ready to wear or gift. Enjoy your crochet project!
