This beginner-friendly crochet infinity cowl captures all the warmth and charm of autumn with its rich, seasonal colors and simple stitch pattern. There’s something magical about fall—the crisp air, the golden leaves, and the cozy accessories that make the season feel extra special.
Fall fashion has such rich colors that mirror nature.
Within the last few years, there has been a surge in infinity cowls for fall and winter fashion. It seems that they are for sale in stores everywhere lately. Create your own style and make a unique scarf just the way you like it.
Beginner-Friendly Free Crochet Pattern
This crochet pattern works up quickly using just one skein of yarn. While this infinity cowl can be made with any color of yarn, this one just looks beautiful in these gorgeous fall colors.
This scarf works up quickly, making it perfect for last-minute gifts or a relaxing weekend project. This crochet pattern repeats two rows throughout until the desired size is reached. These are so nice to slip on.
Choosing the Perfect Yarn
This infinity cowl pattern is designed with medium weight yarn (category 4), making it versatile, cozy, and easy to work with—perfect for beginners. I used a beautiful variegated yarn in rich fall colors that really brought the stitches to life and gave the piece a lovely, seasonal flair without needing to switch colors.
However, solid colors work just as well and can highlight the texture of the two-row repeating pattern even more clearly. Want to make one for every season? Try soft pastels for spring, beachy blues and corals for summer, or icy grays and deep jewel tones for winter.
No matter the color, this pattern is a great way to showcase your yarn stash and create a wearable piece you’ll love all year long.
