Easy Free Crochet Infinity Scarf Pattern for Cozy Spring Wear
Crochet lovers, rejoice! This free pattern for a crochet infinity scarf is the perfect way to add a touch of handmade charm to your spring wardrobe.
Hey, my lovely crocheters! It’s time for a beautiful crochet infinity scarf to add to your spring accessory wardrobe!
A lot of us choose cowls in the spring because of their smaller size. But, have you considered a crochet infinity scarf instead? Here are a couple of reasons why an infinity scarf might be a better choice:
- An infinity scarf is so versatile. Because you can loop it once, twice, even three times (if it’s long enough), you get to choose the style that compliments your outfit and provides what you need for the weather of the day.
- If you’re looking for warmth, an infinity scarf is the perfect choice with just the right length and thickness to provide just the right coverage.
The Cordelia Infinity scarf ticks all the boxes when it comes to fulfilling your spring accessory needs. You’ll love how this beautiful crochet infinity scarf looks with your t-shirt and jeans or a dress for an evening out. It’s one of the most versatile, easy-to-wear accessories.
Design + Construction of the crochet infinity scarf
The unique look of the Cordelia crochet infinity scarf is achieved by mixing stitches and textures. The half double crochet and It’s close relative, the camel stitch (better known as the half double crochet in the 3rd loop) creates sections of solid stitching and surface texture. And, my personal favorite, the granny stitch, is the star of the show, alternating with the half double crochet sections for a little bit lacy texture.
This crochet infinity scarf is so much fun to make. Plus, the stitch patterns are very easy to remember, making it the ideal mindful project for binging your favorite show. You’ll love making AND wearing your new Cordelia Infinity Scarf.

Take a look at the beautiful lightweight DK yarn I chose for this crochet infinity scarf! WeCrochet’s “Heatherly” is an easy care yarn with just a touch of merino wool that gives the crochet infinity scarf a luxurious feel.
I’ve fallen in love with WeCrochet’s “Heatherly”.
- It’s luxurious to work with.
- It provides beautiful stitch definition, especially in a piece like this one that has multiple stitch patterns.
- The colors are muted by the heathered look of the yarn. It gives the finished project a lived in, comfortable look.
Of course, as with most of my designs, you can substitute any DK weight yarn you like. However, keep in mind that stitch definition is the most important feature of your infinity scarf so choose a yarn with little to no halo to let those gorgeous stitches shine through.

Pattern Notes
- A ‘ch 1’ at the beg of the rnd does not count as a st.
- A ‘ch 2’ at the beg of the rnd DOES count as a st.
- Do not turn after any rnd.
- The hdc of Rnd 1 can be worked in the back bump of the foundation ch for a more decorative bottom edge that matches the top edge.
- Pay close attention to where the 1st st of a round is worked, either in the same st or the next st. Placement affects how the vertical seam lines up.
- The granny stitches of Rnds 5 & 6 are worked in the spaces between the granny stitches of the previous row.

The joy of crochet is its simplicity: there is only ever one stitch in work and just a few variations of the basic stitches to master, but the possibilities of using and combining those stitches together are endless.

Love the look of the scarf but would like to make it as a baby blanket. Can the pattern be adapted to a ‘flat’ design?
Anne,
It would be perfect for something like a baby blanket. Because of the granny stitches, the stitch multiple is 3. You would also have to account for the fact that the granny stitches are offset in each row. In order to get a straight edge, you would need to figure out the partial granny stitches needed at the edges. Then add that count to the foundation chain.
Best,
Debbie
