Scarves are probably my most underrated closet staple. Somehow I went from wearing scarves almost every day of middle school to almost never wearing them once college hit. Now, in my mid-twenties I still almost never wear them unless the weather is truly unbearable but when I do I always remember how great they are. This year, I’m committing to accessorizing with my scarves more. As part of that commitment, I decided to make a super cozy, soft infinity scarf that goes with almost everything!
Originally, this was a quick weekend project I started while I went on a family vacation but it turned into a pattern I knew I needed to share so quickly. After maybe 10 rows of this pattern, I was obsessed and immediately started jotting down notes to write it up. This was a super quick make and could be done in a quick weekend or on a road trip like I made mine.
This was also my first time using Caron Latte Cakes. I’ve been avoiding cake yarns and I now know how wrong I was to do that. This yarn is SO SOFT. I was nervous about how the various colors would work together but this worked like a self-striping yarn and actually worked so well for this infinity scarf design. Sweaters are another thing I could see myself using this yarn for. I can almost guarantee I’ll be using this yarn again, I just need the soft squish in my life.
One of the best things about this pattern is that it’s super beginner-friendly but also has a great texture. If you can work a single crochet, you can make this scarf. PLUS, you can actually make this scarf using any yarn! If you need to match the width (or widen/lessen the width) you can add or remove starting chains in increments or decrements of two. Since this is an infinity scarf design, you can also lengthen or shorten the pattern by adding or removing the number of rows.
Pin for later!

Ch 53 then sl st into the beginning ch. [to make a wider scarf, add to this starting number in increments of 2, to make a thinner scarf, remove chains in increments of 2]
Row 1: Sc in 2nd ch from hook; *insert hook in last ch, YO and draw up a loop, skip next ch, insert hook in next ch, YO and draw up a loop, YO and draw through all 3 loops on hook. Ch1. Repeat from * across until the last ch. Sc in last ch. Do not ch1 or turn. [you may want to place a stitch marker here for reference so you can count your rows]
Row 2: Continuing in the same direction, sc in first sc; *draw up a loop in last st used, skip next st, draw up a loop in next st, YO and draw through all 3 loops on the hook. Ch1. Repeat from * across until the last st. Sc in last st. Do not ch1 or turn. [Move stitch marker to new row]
Rows 3-144 [you can opt to make this longer or shorter by increasing or decreasing the number of rows]: repeat row 2.
Once you’ve achieved your desired length, cut & tie off, leaving a long tail (about 20”). Use this tail to sew the tube together. Working around the outside edges (making sure to keep the tube shape), use mattress stitch to seam the scarf together. Once you reach the end, secure the tail and weave in any leftover ends.
That’s it! Now you’ve got yourself a super comfy and modern scarf to rock this fall and winter.
Hopefully, this scarf will help me keep up my commitment to rocking my scarves. I’ve already found myself wearing it around the house just for the soft feeling of it.
