I was inspired for this scarf by this really cool infinity scarf that I purchased back in the day when infinity scarves were the hip new thing! (Am I aging myself?) My favorite part was the juxtaposition between the openness of one half of the scarf with the sturdiness of the other half. I thought when twisted around my neck a few times it showed off the two different patterns in a really interesting way.
I wanted to be able to recreate this idea not only for a new accessory to wear but also to make it in crochet, unlike the purchased scarf that was apparently knitted. It was probably also mass-produced machine knitted, which is fair, but I appreciate the uniqueness of a handmade item.
The scarf I chose to make is an infinity or circle scarf, with specific stitches, however, the idea is really versatile. You could choose to not combine the two ends and make it a long wrap-around scarf. I would even consider adding tassels or fringe at both ends. Even different stitches would make this scarf look really cute. Honestly, I feel like I should stop giving away my ideas, this is starting to sound like another pattern!
In different colors or different yarn types, this scarf could be used in different seasons. I choose Brava’s Worsted weight yarn in Seraphim. I feel like this beautiful muted lavender is perfect to match so many items in my spring wardrobe. I’m curious to see what it would look like in different yarn types, and colors. Feel free to comment down below with your take on this gorgeous infinity scarf.
