Simple Shell Stitch Infinity Scarf *free pattern*

This pattern is easily adjustable, you can either make it a cowl or an infinity scarf or you can make it into a regular scarf.
The shell pattern in simple, and gives the project a nice textured look. You can also experiment by using different yarn types and hook sizes. For example, I’ve made this scarf with bulky wool and a large crochet hook, it worked up really fast that way.
Once you make a scarf, you can get the feel for the size you like. This pattern is easily adjustable.
Onto the pattern…..

Crochet hook size 5.00/US H8

Yarn needle for sewing final piece into an infinity loop.

2 Rows= 1 ½”

(The amount of rows depends on the size you want, for a smaller fit, work less rows here.)

Once your scarf is about 45” long, FINISH OFF here and weave in ends if you want a regular scarf.

If you want the Infinity Scarf/Cowl, do not finish off.
Fold the piece, bringing your first row up to meet the last row.

With a yarn needle, Whip Stitch through both Row 1 and your last row to join the scarf into an Infinity Ring. Finish off and weave in all ends. Enjoy.
