Easy Infinity Scarf Crochet Pattern
To start, chain 192 stitches.
Row 1: Using Color A, make one single crochet in the second chain from the hook, and continue to single crochet in each chain across the row. After finishing, chain 1 and turn your work. You will have 191 stitches. *This is considered the right side of the scarf.*
Rows 2-12: Continue by placing one single crochet in the back loop only (sc blo) in the first stitch and in every stitch across the row. After completing each row, remember to chain 1 and turn your work.
When you have finished row 12, fasten off your yarn, making sure to leave a long tail for sewing later.
Row 13: Attach Color B. Chain 1 and make one single crochet in the first stitch and in every stitch across the row. After you have completed this row, chain 1 and turn your work.
Rows 14-24: Repeat the process by placing one single crochet in the back loop only in the first stitch and in each stitch across. Remember to chain 1 and turn your work at the end of each row.
After finishing row 24, fasten off, leaving a long tail for sewing.
Sewing the Scarf:
To assemble your scarf, fold it in half so that the two short ends meet, ensuring that the right sides are facing each other.
Using the mattress stitch, or whichever stitch you prefer, begin to sew down halfway with the tail from Color A and then sew halfway down with the tail from Color B. When you are done, fasten off and weave in any remaining ends. Finally, turn your scarf right side out to reveal its beautiful design.
