Cream and Pastel Chunky Infinity Scarf

A few weeks ago, I started working on a new crochet project. It started out with a forest green chunky-stitch infinity scarf, which I blogged about here. After working on a few crochet square designs, I returned to my infinity scarf project to make a cream and pastel version of my chunky infinity scarf.

With my trusty wooden Q hook in hand, I stitched up this beauty, working on it in bits and snatches of time over the course of a few nights.


Made with Redheart acrylic yarn in Aran along with a variegated pastel brand from Germany, this infinity scarf will be one of two basic patterns in an upcoming infinity scarf pattern book. It's soft, has just the right amount of elasticity and the bits of pastel color woven through give a classic scarf an attractive look.



I think it's safe to say that I'm officially addicted to infinity scarves. My next scarf has already been planned, and it's a fun fun fun pattern designed for intermediate crocheters. I can't wait to share it here! Do you like or wear infinity scarves? What crochet project are you addicted to right now?

  1. I love infinity scarves! My sister arm-knitted the one I've been wearing, but it's too dang hot to wear it right now! (Want some heat???) Please?

    1. We're not really having a heat problem in the Chicago area. In fact, I could wear my infinity scarves in the house...it's that cold!

  2. I recently discovered how fun infinity scarves are to make! Infinity scarves are so versatile…they can range from bulky and warm, to a light and airy accessory. They work up quickly and the color ranges are endless. Mary, I love your finished piece in this blog :) In response to B Alvarez, I would love it if you could send some of that heat to Pennsylvania…I just shoveled 2 feet of snow off my deck today! *sigh*

  3. We just got another 8 inches of snow yesterday in the Chicago area! I've since given this infinity scarf to my mother and am halfway through a new design I'm creating. Thank you for commenting, Monica! I find infinity scarves to be versatile too...both fashionable and functional.

  4. I like infinity scarves as well. I have a pattern that I found on the internet and it's so quick and easy to follow, so I use that a lot.

    Your scarf is really pretty, I like the colour added in like that.
