Linked Hearts and Diamonds Infinity Scarf

This week I bring you my new free pattern for the Linked Hearts and Diamonds Infinity Scarf. Recently, I released my pattern for Linked Hearts and Diamonds Messy bun / Beanie Hat then I thought a matching scarf would be a great idea!

I quickly got to work on the design. Since this is my first infinity scarf I needed to start by finding out the standard measurements.

After a little searching I came up with 60 inches long by 7 inches wide for a scarf that wraps twice. I then had to use these measurements and calculate how the hearts and diamonds would fit.

Looking at the hat measurements I found that if I multiplied that brim circumference by three it was pretty much 60 inches – perfect! Then the width of the hearts plus two borders came out at 7 inches which made me really happy 🙂

I’ve also made a downloadable, PDF of this pattern which is available on Ravelry. For a small fee, you can enjoy an ad-free, printer friendly copy with extra photos to help you follow the pattern.

Anyway, here’s the pattern!

Hearts and Diamonds Infinity Scarf is a beautiful chunky scarf sure to keep you warm this winter. Colorful linked hearts are encased in diamond borders for a fun and stylish look. This scarf is 7” wide and 60” long and wraps twice around the neck.

A matching messy bun / beanie hat is also available. This project is an enjoyable challenge to make with intermediate skill recommended. Some special stitches are involved with detailed instructions given.

The pattern starts out with the ring of hearts. There are thirty-six hearts so color choices can vary. I chose to use three different colors for the hearts so there are twelve hearts in each color but you may decided to use two, three, four or six different colors.

After completing the ring of hearts, using dark grey so the colors of the hearts stood out, I made the borders, which are designed to be wide enough to give the scarf structure and warmth.

You are welcome to sell the items you make with this pattern, but please give me, Krazy Kabbage, a mention in your sales listing and provide a link to my website www.krazykabbage.com. You must use photos of your own work (not my photos).

I used Red Heart Super Saver (medium weight; 100% acrylic) in Grey Heather as the main color. For the hearts I used a small amount of Perfect Pink, Minty and Orchid.

You will need a crochet hook size I/9 – 5.5mm and a yarn needle to weave in ends.

This pattern uses US terminology.

Basic stitches: sl st, sc, hdc, dc, dc2tog.

Special stitches which include instructions: fptc2tog and dctcdc3tog cluster

This scarf has 36 hearts, you can use any colors you like. For my scarf I used 3 colors and repeated them in order.

First Heart

Step 1: Ch 22. Sl st in back of 2nd ch from hook. Ch 3. Being careful not to twist the chain, slip stitch to join in back of 1st chain and ch 1.

Note: Use fingernails to pinch the loop and gently pull open enough to get your hook into. Alternatively you could work into the loop on the bottom of the foundation chain.

Step 2: Working in the back loops of the foundation chain, 2 hdc in next, 1 hdc in each of next 6. 3 hdc in next.

Step 3: 1 hdc in each of next 6. 2 hdc in next, 1 hdc in next, 2 hdc in next, 1 hdc in each of next 2.

Step 4: Skip over mini picco. 1 hdc in each of next 2, 2 hdc in last. Slip stitch to join in top of first hdc and fasten off.

Second to Thirty-fifth Hearts

Ch 22. Sl st in back of 2nd ch from hook. Ch 3.

Place previous heart face up and drop the tail of current heart down through the center.

Being careful not to twist the chain, slip stitch to join in back of 1st chain and ch 1.

Continue to work the heart in the same way as the first heart from Step 2 onward.

New hearts are joined to the right of the previous heart.

Thirty-sixth Heart

Ch 22. Sl st in back of 2nd ch from hook. Ch 3.

Lay your strip of hearts out in a horizontal line, check they are all face up and connected correctly.

Drag the two ends of the line towards you and together to form a circle. The bottom points of the hearts should be pointing towards the center of the circle. Drop the tail of your current heart down through the previous heart (the one on the right of the gap). Then snake the tail so it goes down through the first (left) heart. Gently drag the tail toward the center of the circle

Being careful not to twist the chain, slip stitch to join in back of 1st chain and ch 1.

Continue to work the heart in the same way as the first heart from Step 2 onward.

Bottom Section of Scarf

Turn hearts upside down, find the bottom point of a heart and locate the middle of the 3 stitches that make up that bottom point. Using your main color, join with a slip stitch in the back loop only and ch 1. (loop of stitch to right of stitch post)

Continuing to work in the back loops only, starting in next stitch, sc2tog, hdc in next.

Next is a [Dc tc dc 3 tog] cluster stitch. The first part is a dc in the next stitch, second is a tr through both hearts, last is a dc in the next stitch of the next heart.

Here is a step by step guide on how to do this cluster:

Part 1: YO, insert hook into next stitch, YO pull through, YO pull through 2 loops (2 loops on hook)

Part 2: Find bottom point of next heart count back 3 (mark this stitch – back loop only). YO twice, insert hook through marked stitch and next stitch. YO, pull through, YO pull through 2 loops, YO pull through 2 loops (3 loops on hook)

Part 3: YO, insert hook into next stitch, YO pull through, YO pull through 2 loops (4 loops on hook)

Part 4: YO, pull through all 4 loops to complete the cluster stitch.

Note: After a few hearts stop to check that the hearts look straight.

Hdc in next stitch, *Sc in next, sc2tog, hdc in next, cluster stitch across two hearts (as detailed above) hdc in next. Rep from * around ring of hearts. Slip stitch in top of first sc2tog. (total 180 stitches around)

Rnd 2: Ch 1, Sc in back loop only of each stitch around. Sl st to join in top of first sc.

Rnd 3: Ch 2, Dc in each stitch around (in both loops). Sl st to join in top of first dc.

Rnd 4: Ch 1, sc in next stitch.

Mark 1st post: Looking at previous row, count back 2 dc posts. On the row below that, mark the previous sc post.

Mark 2nd post: Look at previous row, count forward 2 dc posts. On the row below that, mark the next sc post.

*Fp Tc2tog around 1st marked and 2nd marked posts.

Here is a step by step on how to do this Fp Tc2tog – YO twice, insert hook around front of 1st marked post, YO, pull through stitch, YO pull through 2 loops, YO pull through 2 loops. YO twice, insert hook around front of 2nd marked post, YO, pull through stitch, YO pull through 2 loops, YO pull through 2 loops. YO pull through all remaining loops on the hook. You should be able to see 3 double crochet stitches inside the triangle.

Working on current row: Sc2tog, sc in each of next 2 stitches.

Find the next post by following instruction of ‘mark 2nd’.

Repeat from * around. (last part of last fp tc2tog should be around same 1st marked post)

After last fp tc2tog, sc2tog then sl st to join in top of first sc.
