How was your weekend? Good? If you are a Mum I hope you were well spoiled ♥
I thought I’d start the week with a project I recently finished, and have been enjoying now that autumn is starting to chill into winter.
I wanted to make an infinity scarf with a bit of a twist… Lots of textures; fuzzy yarn mixed with metallics, and soft chunky rows to add interest to plain ol’ double crochet.
And it has to be nice and long. So it can be wrapped 2, 3 or 4 times around depending on how snuggled you want to be. As you can see it’s really a very simple make, all double crochet using a 7mm hook and a variety of double knit/worsted weight yarns for 7 rounds (8 including the starting chain- which was 200).
Just what’s needed for these cool autumn mornings. 
And here I am trying to get a photo of my scarf and the tree (at the top) in the background this morning in the fog… I barely succeed on both counts!
The yarns are all man made acrylic/nylon mixes, but oh, it is so soft. And purple, don’t you just love purple? I do! Have a great week!

This is very pretty….lovely colour combinations and textures…particularly like the fluffy yarn…often don’t think about trying different textures but I will in future! It’s so cold in UK for mid May I might need to make one of these now, despite it supposedly being spring! K x

I was looking at that and it reminded me exactly what I did for a wrap the same size using scraps to improvise and coordinated it together crocheting the similar colors in Maroon.

Just yummy! I’ve never been a scarf person but you are inspiring me to make one like this; nice and long, fluffy, and loosely crocheted. Perfect! We are heading into summer here but then
there’s lots of time to make it :-).

Purple is very cool color, yeppie sir. Love the simpleness of double crochet and the variety of textures and the way they combine to create a very fun scarf. Two hundred initial chain gave you lots of length to play with. Wear it well and I hope we get to see more of your beautiful trees.

I love the scarf and am starting it now. At the end of the 109 chains, do I turn my work or connect to the beginning and crochet in a circle? I didn’t see any instructions about finishing, etc.
thanks!

Yes, you join the chain ( be careful not to twist it) to make a circle. Good luck! Xx
