Easy C2C Infinity Scarf Pattern | Free Crochet Patterns

I’m obsessed with crochet cowls! I love that I can pop one over any outfit and even over my jacket for an added layer of warmth without the faff of stuffing it inside my coat when I need to zip it up. This pattern uses Hayfield Spirit, which is a DK (size #3 yarn), and even with it’s wool content,  the light weight yarn keeps us toasty without over heating. 

I designed this infinity scarf pattern to use in my face to face C2C Crochet Workshops, as it teaches how to C2C increase and C2C decrease; all the essential techniques surrounding how to C2C.

It’s a quick and easy project with a simple pattern repeat which is perfect for beginners.  If you’ve never used the C2C Technique, click here to see the full tutorial.

When to use an Increase Block:

• Increasing the width of your project:
• Complete an Increase Block at the start of each row.
• Extending the length of the project:
• Complete an Increase Block on alternate rows to the Decrease Block.

Block:

• Chain 3 (counts as Treble crochet [Double crochet]).
• In Chain Space under Ch3:

• Slip Stitch to Ch3 space of block on previous row to join.

• Work a Block as normal.

When to use a Decrease Block:

• Extending the length of the project:

• Stop adding length to your project:
• Work decrease on every row.
• This will reduce the number of blocks on the row by 1.
