I think that it is about time to start preparing for much colder days and start working on winter pieces. In a way I am looking forward to this colder weather because I just adore chunky scarfs. They can make you feel so warm and cozy! In this post I want to share a simple pattern which is also perfect for beginners so that everyone could have his or her chunky scarf 🙂
This project is great for relaxing and resting your mind as there is no need to count stitches. If you know how to make a half double crochet and how to work in the third loop only (in the front and in the back), you are good to go. If you are not sure, you can take a look at the tutorials I prepared: half double crochet, half double crochet in the third loop only, half double crochet in the third loop only in the front. If you are struggling, let me know and I will try to help you out.
Good luck!

Materials
- Yarn: any thick yarn will work. I used two cakes of 200 g (330 m) Acrylic gradient yarn from a local store.
- Hook: as suggested on your yarn label. I used hook size 6.0.
Abbreviations (US terms)
- ch: chain
- prev: previous
- rnd: round
- st: stitch
- sl st: slip stitch
- hdc: half double crochet
- hdc-3lo: half double crochet third loop only
- hdc-3lo-f: half double crochet third loop only in the front
Notes
You will be working in rounds. The size of my scarf is 32×184 cm. You can adjust the length by choosing the length of your chain. The same applies to the width: the pattern is repeating every two rounds, but you can stop after any round when you feel that the scarf is wide enough. Also, I was chaining 1, not 2, in the beginning of the round even though it is an hdc stitch – it just worked better for this project.
Pattern
Start with any number of chains. I chained 212. Connect the last ch to the first ch with a sl st. Ch 1.
Round 1: hdc in the second ch from your hook and every following ch until the end of the round. Connect with a sl st to the first st of this rnd.
Round 2: ch 1, hdc-3lo in every st of the prev rnd. Connect with a sl st.
Round 3: ch 1, hdc-3lo-f in every st of the prev rnd. Connect with a sl st.
Round 4-32: repeat rnd 2-3.
Fasten off and weave in the ends.
Enjoy your infinity scarf!
