What is an Infinity Scarf?
An infinity scarf is a circular scarf without loose ends, making it a closed loop. Typically, it’s long enough to wrap around the neck multiple times, offering warmth and style. In comparison, a cowl shares a similar idea but is generally designed to encircle the neck only once.
They can be worn in various ways, such as doubled up around the neck, draped loosely, or even pulled up over the head as a hood. They come in different fabrics, patterns, and lengths, making them a fashionable accessory for both warmth and style.
You can make infinity scarves by working them flat and joining at the end. Or, in the round where the rounds are joined often with a slip stitch each round.
Make this Circle Scarf Chunky using Worsted Weight Yarn
This chunky scarf pattern is crocheted flat and joined at the end. Making this easy for anyone to work, especially beginners. If you prefer to keep this as a regular scarf, just skip the joining instructions. The finished product will be lovely.
If you have a bulky weight yarn on hand, go ahead and use that. However, for this pattern, I used two strands of medium weight yarn to create a chunky look.

Directions: Chunky Tweed Infinity Scarf Beginner Crochet Pattern
Skill Level
Beginner Crocheter
You should be comfortable with the double crochet stitch. The stitches are worked into the third loop which can be challenging for an absolute beginner.
Gauge
12 stitches and 5 rows every 4-inches.
Size
9 inches wide X 70 inches long.
This pattern is worked the length of the scarf. The length is determined by the number of beginning chain stitches.
This pattern is easy to change the size as you chain any number of chains when beginning this cozy scarf.
The rows create the width of the scarf.
Pattern Notes
The scarf is worked in rows and then later seamed to become an infinity scarf.
Pattern is written in US terms.
Use two strands of yarn held together.
Most worsted weight yarn does not call for this large hook. However, since the yarn held together creates a bulky weight yarn, I used a larger size hook than what is normally recommended on the yarn packaging.
Turn at the end of the row.
The CH 3 at the beginning of the row counts as a double crochet.
If you are new to crochet, counting the stitches in each row will help keep the edges straight.
The last double crochet should always be placed in the top chain of the previous row initial chain two. This helps keep the rows even.
The rows are worked the length of the scarf.

Rows 3 through 12
Repeat row 2.
When you have completed the last row, don’t cut off the yarn. Continue onto joining the ends together.
Joining the Scarf to Create a Circular Infinity Scarf
You can use any method to join the ends. A slip stitch or a single crochet through both ends. You could use the yarn needle and work a whip stitch through both ends.
Today, I chose to work a slip stitch.
Align the ends of the scarf. Starting where you ended your last stitch, insert the hook in the stitch directly across. Yarn over and bring it back through the loop on the hook.
Insert the hook in the next stitch, then in the stitch across, yarn over and bring it back through the loop on the hook.
Continue to work the slip stitch joining the ends of the scarf until you reach the end.
Finishing
Once you have reached your desired number of rows, pull the yarn through the last stitch. Cut the yarn leaving a 10-12 inch yarn tail. Using your yarn needle, weave the yarn back and forth between the stitches at least 3-5 times. Trim off any excess yarn.

Instead of wearing the infinity scarf around your neck, drape it over your shoulders for a relaxed and elegant vibe. This works well with lightweight scarves for a breezy, bohemian look.

Pair with your favorite jackets or coats for a stylish layered look. Let the scarf peek out from under your outerwear for added warmth and visual interest.
