Fall Fun Infinity Scarf

The colder weather has finally arrived, which means it's the perfect time to start making scarves! I've been wanting to design an infinity scarf for a while now, and when a friend mentioned that she'd like one - voila! I hope you enjoy making it as much as I did. :)


Yarn: 2 skeins of Diamond Luxury Collection Llama Silk (paprika)

Hooks: 5.5 mm/I and 22 mm/T (the larger hook serves as the broomstick - feel free to use a knitting needle or other similarly sized dowel-type object)

Abbreviations:

ss = slip stitch
ch = chain
sc = single crochet
hdc = half double crochet

Special Stitches:

This pattern incorporates broomstick lace, which looks much more complicated that it is, I promise. For a good tutorial, try this page. Note that this pattern groups the broomstick loops in fours.

Pattern:

With smaller hook, ch 25.

Row 1: Sc in second ch from hook, and in each ch across. (24 sc)

Row 2: DO NOT TURN. This is the broomstick row, so pull up loops onto your bigger hook, one in the back loop only of each sc across. Once you've got all 24, carefully slip the hook out from the loops. Ss around 4 of the broomstick loops, then ch 1. 4 sc in that group, then in each subsequent 4-loop group. (6 groups of 4, 24 sc)

Row 3: Ch 2 (counts as first hdc), turn. Hdc in each sc across. (24 hdc)

Row 4. Ch 1, turn. Sc in each hdc across. (24 sc)

Repeat rows 2-4 27 more times, ending on a row 3.

Join the two ends of the scarf together by ss through the top of the last row and the bottom of the foundation chain (be careful not to twist the scarf!). Finish off. Darn in ends.
