Hey Everyone! I am so excited to share this beginner friendly, easy crochet infinity scarf. You can double or triple wrap the scarf and adjust the size if you’d like it smaller or want to make it for a child. I use my favorite half double crochet stitch! AKA hdc in the U.S. or htr in the U.K. Find the instructions below and full video tutorial, happy stitching!

Question: Can you make this scarf using a non-bulky yarn? I know that it would look different BUT technically would the directions stay the same? Say using a yarn that suggests a 5.5 mm crochet hook? Thank you for your time and attention.

I was wondering if you've tried the foundation hdc row as your first row. Instead of making a huge long row of chains, you make the hdc and chain all at once. When you reach the length that you want, your first row is done and it is very easy to join into the circle. I've been making dc infinity scarves and when I learned this way to begin, it made life so much easier and so much faster. When you weave the ends in, using a needle, go forward through 3 or 4 stitches, go back under the stitches you've just done, skipping the last one, then again skipping the last one, go back under the stitches. This really locks the stitching in and you don't have to use a knot, although I do both. Thanks for the great tutorials and videos.

Love this scarf. Did your scarf stretch when you were crocheting? I measured 70 inches in my chain which was 140 chains, but it is longer now that I have a few rows made.

Can you give some yarn suggestions for a very very soft , drappey bulky yarn for your infinity scarf? I would like the finished product to look soft and drippy. Thanks. Love your tutorial on your infinity scarf.
