Cozy Infinity Scarf

This scarf is a single long rectangle seamed into a loop — no shaping, no counting rows twice, just relaxing, repetitive stitching that is easy to pick up and put down.

Hook Size5.5mm (I-9)

200–250 yds worsted yarn

Step-by-Step Instructions

1
Chain your foundation
Chain a multiple of 2, plus 1, to the desired scarf width.
2
Work the textured pattern
Alternate rows of single crochet and half double crochet worked into the back loop only for a ribbed texture.
3
Repeat to length
Continue until the rectangle measures about 60 inches long.
4
Seam into a loop
Give the rectangle a single twist (for an infinity-style loop) and slip stitch the short ends together.
Tip: Skip the twist if you prefer a plain cowl-style loop instead of a figure-eight infinity scarf.

Helpful Tips

Working into the back loop only every row is what creates the ribbed texture — do not skip it.
Block the finished loop flat under a damp towel to relax the stitches before wearing.
