Hello Everyone! I actually created this pattern for my mom to give to her on her birthday. She loves to wear scarves and is pretty simplistic when it comes to winter accessories. She rarely buys anything for herself and is such a giving and caring person, (raising 7 kids!). I wanted to create something that she could wear with any color. At the moment, the color coat she wears is purple. I had a really hard time finding a color that matched her coat. I decided on this color from Lion Brand Thick & Quick called Fisherman. It is such a beautiful neutral color, and the yarn is so nice to work with. This scarf truly does work up quickly. I believe I finished it in a little over two hours!

I Just love the texture!……
I knew I wanted to try something different so I started playing around with a mixture of crochet stitches and this is what I came up with! I love how just two simple stitches creates such a beautiful texture! When the scarf started to come together, it reminded me of a big fluffy cloud. I hope you like the pattern!
Materials
10mm Crochet hook
2 Skeins of Lionbrand Wool-Ease Thick & Quick yarn in Fisherman or any comparable chunky yarn
Scissors
Tapestry needle to weave in any ends
Notes
You can make this scarf as long or short as you want. Just change the number of starting chains. Also, make sure your chain count is an odd number
You can also make this in a worsted weight yarn. Just adjust the starting chains to your desired length. I always start my first stitch of the round in the same stitch as my ch.1
Abbreviations
Foundation Single Crochet (FSC)
Single Crochet (SC)
Slip Stitch (SS)
Half Double Crochet (HDC)
Pattern
FSC 120
On the 121 stitch, join with a slip stitch to create a circle. You can watch this video HERE that explains how to join with a FSC. I like this video because it shows you how to join both the bottom and top of the FSC.
If you are not comfortable with the FSC you can simply chain 121 and join with a slip stitch to your first chain. Then complete a round of sc. Remember to start your first sc in the same stitch as your ch.1
Round 1
Ch. 1, ss in same stitch, HDC in the next. *ss in next stitch, hdc in the next.* Repeat *to* until you reach the end of the round, ss in top of beginning ss of round. NOTE: I try to make my starting ss of the round very loose. I find it helps when having to join the round with another ss.
Round 2
Ch. 1 TURN! You will now work your stitches in the opposite direction, ss in the same stitch, hdc in the next. *ss in the next stitch, hdc in the next.* Repeat *to* until you reach the end of the round, ss in top of beginning ss of round.
Rounds 3-10
Repeat Row 2 remembering to turn after every row!
Round 11
Ch. 1 (do not turn) sc in the same stitch and each stitch around. Join with a ss to top of beginning sc of the round.
Round 12
Ch. 1, ss in same stitch and each stitch around. Join with a ss to top of beginning ss of the round.
Bind off and weave in any loose ends with your tapestry needle.

That was the sweetest thing for you to make for your mom. I’m pretty sure she’s going to love it. It’s beautiful! I’m going to try it, so I can show the same kindness you showed your mom. Thanks so much for sharing. I love to bless others as well, with the talents the Lord has given me.:) Thanks again
Ana, Thank you so much for your kind words! If you have any questions about the pattern, let me know!
Hi, when you say 2 skeins, that’s about how many yards/meters? I’m in India and the yarn sizes are completely different here! Thanks!
Hi Maria!
It would be roughly 210yds or 195m in a bulky weight yarn. Hope that helps!
I was wondering if it would make the same type of chunky look if I don’t make it an infinity scarf?
Hi Emily!
As long as you use a bulky weight yarn it should have the same look. 🙂
Please make a video of this!!
I’m not very good at the FSC or any of them. Would it look just as good starting with just the 120 chains?
Hi Melissa!
Yes! Absolutely. Either way you choose, the scarf will look great 🙂
I’m having a hard time understanding where I should SS and where I should HDC. When I turn my work, am I putting a SS into the top of the previous SS and same with HDC? Do I work into one loop or two? Help! I love the texture of this but can’t seem to replicate it! ?
Does this pattern work only in rounds?I actually wanted to use this pattern on a shawl.
Hi Hazel!
Yes, looking up Moss Stitch will help you!
Good Evening,
I was practicing this stitch but not in the form of a infinity project. I was just doing straight lines but I really like the way it looks and feels. I think it would make a wonderful warm blanket. Can you tell me how many multiple foundation chains I would need and since it is basically a half double and a slip stitch do you begin and end with a half double or a single crochet?
Thank you,
Jacqui
