The Yarn For This Pattern

This post contains affiliate links, which means I may receive compensation (at no additional cost to you) if you make a purchase using these links.

It is Premier Yarns DK Colors in Rose Garden. The colors are just perfect for Spring or Summer. My first thought was that it had a watermelon vibe, but after reading the ‘Rose Garden’ color title, I can also see the fresh green and pinks of Spring blooms! This yarn is also super smooth and soft. It was delicious to work with!

Pattern Notes:

I tend to crochet tightly. So be sure to check your gauge and if you are crocheting more loosely you can move to a smaller hook (or larger if you crochet even more tightly).

This scarf is crocheted in rows, back and forth, to create a long rectangle. Then the two short ends will be stitched together at the end to create an infinity scarf.

Chain 2 at the beginning of the row does not count as a stitch.

Pattern:

Chain 43.

This # gave me a scarf 9” inches wide. If you prefer a different width, you can adjust the number of chains. Just be sure to end at an odd number.

Row 1: Dc in the 3rd chain from the hook. Ch 1. Insert hook into the same chain again. Yarn over and pull through. (Pull enough through so that the tension is loose. This will allow the loop to stretch across the space created by the upcoming skipped stitch.) Skip the next chain (you still have two loops on your hook). *Dc in the next chain. Note: As you complete your dc, since you have an extra loop on your hook, on your final yarn over and pull through, you will pull through 3 loops (rather than the usual last 2 of a dc). Ch 1. Insert hook into the same chain again. Yo and pull through (again, the goal is to have loose tension on this loop). Skip the next chain (you still have two loops on your hook).* Repeat from * to * across. At the end of the row your last step will be to place one last dc in the last chain. (41) (see photos below for visuals for this row)

Row 2: Ch 2. Turn. Dc in the same stitch. Ch 1. Insert hook into the same stitch again. Yarn over and pull through. Skip the next stitch. *Dc in the next stitch. Ch 1. Insert hook into the same stitch again. Yo and pull through. Skip the next stitch.* Repeat from * to * across. At the end of the row your last step will be to place one last dc in the last stitch. (41)

Note: If you’re unsure what stitch your dc should be going into for rows 2+, it should go in the dc from the previous row, which is the “more loose” stitch, which looks like it stretches between the gap between dc. The ch 1 will be skipped, which will probably be the tighter stitch in your row. See photos below for additional help.

Rows 3 – 134: Repeat Row 2.

My scarf was inches 57 inches long at this point. You can adjust the length of your scarf by adding or removing rows.

Finish off and leave a long tail. Using a yarn needle and the long tail to whip stitch the two short ends of the scarf together.
