I am happy to share a free crochet pattern for a beautiful and soft infinity scarf Ella. The pattern is very simple and it is suitable for beginners. Even if you are an advanced crocheter, it could be a great project to relax and just enjoy the yarn without too much of thinking. I hope that you will like this scarf too.
To make the scarf used Anna and Clara’s wool and bamboo yarn from Søstrene Grene. And I absolutely love this yarn! It is very soft and the colors are gorgeous (I was not compensated in any form to say this and I bought this yarn myself 🙂 ).
You can find my other free crochet patterns here.
Good luck!

Materials
- Yarn: any thick yarn will work. I used Anna and Clara’s Wool bamboo yarn (70% wool, 30% bamboo) 50 g = 125 m. Colors: curry (2 skeins), bordeaux (1 skein).
- Hook: as suggested on your yarn label. I used hook size 4.0.
Abbreviations (US terms)
- st: stitch
- ch: chain
- sl st: slip stitch
- esc: extended single crochet
- esc-blo: extended single crochet back loop only
Notes
The width of my scarf is 21 cm and the length is 1 meter.
You will be working in rounds. This pattern uses the extended single crochet back loop only stitch. Photo instructions below show the main steps how to make this stitch.
It is easy to adjust the size of your scarf: in the beginning make a chain which length should be equal to the length of your scarf (any number of chains). The pattern is a repeat of one row.
Pattern
Start by chaining 145 with the curry yarn (the length of my scarf is 1 meter, but you can chain any number of chains until you reach the desired length). Then join to the beginning of the chain with a sl st (make sure that the long chain is not twisted before you join).
Round 1: ch 2, esc in the back of the chain in every st until the end of the round, join with a sl st to the ch 2.
Round 2-12: ch 2, esc-blo in every st until the end of the round, join with a sl st to the ch 2.
Change yarn color to bordeaux (see photo instructions).
Round 13-14: repeat round 2.
Change yarn color to curry.
Round 15-16: repeat round 2.
Change yarn color to bordeaux.
Round 17-18: repeat round 2.
Change yarn color to curry.
Round 19-20: repeat round 2.
Change yarn color to bordeaux.
Round 21-22: repeat round 2.
Change yarn color to curry.
Round 23-24: repeat round 2.
Change yarn color to bordeaux.
Round 25-26: repeat round 2.
Change yarn color to curry.
Round 27-30: repeat round 2.
Fasten off and weave in the ends.
Photo instructions for an infinity scarf Ella
Round 1
1. Start by making a chain with the curry yarn. The length of the chain should be around 1 meter (or as long as you want) and you can make any number of chains. I chained 145 chains.
2. Before joining your long chain to its beginning, remember to check if it is not twisted. Then insert your hook in the first chain.
3. Yarn over.
4. Pull the yarn through to make a slip stitch. Now your chain is connected.
5. Then chain two.
6. Next you will have to make extended single crochets in the back of the chain in every stitch until the end of the round. So, insert your hook in the back of the next chain.
7. Yarn over.
8. Pull the yarn through. Now you have two loops on your hook.
9. Yarn over.
10. Then pull the yarn through the first loop on your hook. Now you have two loops on your hook.
11. Yarn over again.
12. Pull the yarn through both loops on your hook. You have just made an extended single crochet in the back of the chain.
13. Make another extended single crochet in the back of the next chain.
14. Keep working in the same way until the end of the round.
15. To complete the round join with a slip stitch to the second chain of the chain two that you made in the beginning of this round.
Round 2
16. Chain two.
17. In this and all other rounds you will have to make extended single crochets in the back loop only. So, insert your hook in the next stitch grabbing just the back loop like it is shown in the picture.
18. Yarn over.
19. Pull the yarn through. Now you have two loops on your hook.
20. Yarn over.
21. Pull the yarn through the first loop on your hook. Now you have two loops on your hook.
22. Yarn over.
23. Pull the yarn through both loops on your hook. You have just made an extended single crochet back loop only.
24. Keep making extended single crochets back loop only in every stitch until the end of the round.
25. In the end of the round make a slip stitch to the second chain as in round 1.
Round 13
26. In round 13 you have to change yarn color to bordeaux. So, take the bordeaux yarn and cut the curry yarn (you will have to weave in the ends at the end of the project).
27. Chain one with the bordeaux yarn.
28. Pull the end of the curry yarn to tighten up and secure the bordeaux yarn. Now your bordeaux yarn is ready to use. (Alternatively you could make a slip stitch in the end of round 12 with the bordeaux yarn).
29. Chain two and work as usually. Change color according to the written pattern until the end. Then fasten off and weave in the ends.
