The Artfully Simple Infinity Scarf pattern is super easy, hides a multitude of sins, and comes with just one rule: no stress allowed! This finished scarf is between 50 and 60 inches long, and twists and turns on itself naturally – perfect for wearing doubled as a cowl, as well as long, tied, anything you can come up with! The little button tie embellishment is a separate optional piece, and instructions for that are included as well!
The Artfully Simple Infinity Scarf is a great one skein project that really shows off interesting and luxurious yarns. Perfect for thick and thin yarns, as well as yarns with long color changes, it can be made with any size hook and yarn – just start by chaining until you’ve got your desired length in a multiple of 7 sts and go from there. Using this pattern, every cowl will be unique. In the right yarn it’s a wearable work of art!

- US – K, 6.5mm hook
- US – I, 5.5mm hook (optional, for making tie on button only)
- 280 yds worsted weight yarn (Red Heart Boutique Unforgettable in Tidal shown)
- Optional: Button (1 1/4″ or 32mm button shown)
- NOTE: This pattern is worked in a spiral, so there is no join at the end of the rounds. There are video tutorials for all the stitches and techniques used in this pattern on the moogly Video Tutorials page.
- UPDATE!: There are now two video tutorials available! The first, Basics of the Artfully Simple Infinity Scarf, explains how to get started on the scarf, for those having trouble with the written pattern or chart. The second, How to Crochet The Button Tie for the Artfully Simple Infinity Scarf explains how I make that part.
How to keep it SIMPLE while making this scarf:
- If the starting chain is twisting up on you, try to straighten it out for the first stitch, but don’t worry about getting out every twist – a couple twists are good! Keep going!
- If you finish the first round and find out you’ve started with an “off” number of chains, pretend as if they’re there, stick with the pattern and just keep going!
- If you realize you skipped a stitch 2 rows ago, just keep going!
- If you run out of yarn before you get through all the rows? Well then stop, because you’re out of yarn, silly. Just skip to the end of the pattern and finish off as directed! Though you might want to pull out a row to make the tie at the end.
Here’s a Chart to help you visualize how it comes together:
Now for the actual Instructions:
To start: Using K hook, ch 210.
Round 1: Work a sc in the first ch made, making the loop to work in the round. Dc in the next ch. *Ch 5, sk 5 ch, dc in the next 2 ch. Repeat from * until you have reached the end of the loop and there are approximately 5 chains left unworked.
Round 2: Ch 5, sk the remaining unworked starting chains and the sc from Round 1. Dc in the first dc from Round 1, then dc again in the ch 5 sp. *Ch 5, sk next dc, dc in the next dc and the ch 5 sp. Repeat from * until end of round.
Rounds 3 – 20: Continue working [ch 5, sk next dc, dc in the next dc and the ch 5 sp] in a continuous spiral. The pattern will seem to slant to the left as you work, as seen below. Stop when you count 20 rows of mesh, or when you’re almost out of yarn. To finish off, ch 5, sk next dc, sc in the next dc, and use seamless join in the next ch. Weave in ends.
Instructions for the Button Tie Embellishment (optional):
- Thread button on remaining yarn using a sewing or tapestry needle. Using I hook, ch for 18″.
- Slip the button down close to the hook, and skipping over the button, sl st in the 2nd ch from the hook (trapping the button in the loop). Sl st back along ch for approximately 6″ or until this sl st section is long enough to fit around cowl when doubled, with a little bit of tension.
- Ch 8 sts (for size button shown) or long enough to create a loop that fits tightly around the button. Sl st in the same ch as last sl st, sl st in next 2 ch.
- Ch to same length as remaining unworked ch, approximately 12″. Break yarn and finish off ends.
- To wear, slip button behind cowl and pull it toward the front. Pass button through loop made in Step 3. Let ends fly and jet off to the spa! Or wherever you want to look fabulous.
UPDATE 1/27/13: A few people have expressed the need for more explicit instructions for the tie. If you’re confused by the above step by step instructions, try this:
You start by threading the button on the yarn, and then then push it down the yarn a couple feet, away from the starting end, out of the way. Then you make your slip knot like you normally would, and chain for about 18 inches, pushing the button further down the yarn out of the way as needed. As soon as you’ve got your 18 inches, slide the button back toward your work, so that it’s snug up against the working loop and hook. Then, slip stitch in the 2nd ch from the hook, making sure that you yarn over using the yarn from the other side of the button – effectively trapping the button in that space. Then continue as directed.
This scarf pattern is practically foolproof! What are you waiting for? With just one skein of yarn, you can have a sexy cowl and scarf to wear everywhere this season, and with the button embellishment pattern you can change up the look in seconds! Enjoy!

This is so cool. I am going to make some gifts with this pattern.
Great yarn! Great pattern!
Love this one!
Question- how do you stay on track when counting to 210? I can’t even keep 88 stitches counted! Do you use a stitch marker??
bobby pins, lots of bobby pins.
Lorie, I put in a stitch marker every 50 stitches or so!
I’m new to crochet…what’s a stich marker?
Jeannie, a stitch marker is anything from a specialized little clip sold at craft stores to a paperclip, to a piece of scrap yarn – basically, whatever is handy that you can mark a particular stitch with and then remove later.
Thank you!
I’ve used a bobby pin in a pinch! but they do have the tendency to slip out. safety pins work great!
I use a paperclip and bend it out slightly, I put the longer end through the stich and on the shorter end I bend it outwards from the work and slip a knitting needle stich counter on the end to keep count of my stiches/rows. Works great especially if you have to put your work down and can’t remember where you were in your count. Never been a fan of stich markers this is way easier to move up rows
I use a contrasting piece of yarn, when you are no longer in need of the marker, just slip it out.
I use lever back earrings!
great idea! I am going to start doing that!
I have some really pretty mohair yarn that I have been waiting to use for a special project. I think this is perfect and can’t wait to see what it turns out like. Thanks for sharing this pattern!
http://www.RhinestoneCloset.com/home.html
This is a great idea. I love it, I already started on one
Just made this in an evening with a multi color yarn!! Only one problem, I twisted the yarn and the end project had one to many twists in it. Check out if its twisted after your 2nd row.. Unfortunately (ha ha) I will keep this for myself and remake it for my friend!! It is a fun easy scarf!!! LOVE IT!!
Ah but sue, with this scarf twists are good! Of course, if you prefer it without twists, that’ ok too. I’m so glad you like it!
Beautiful scarf answer well written pattern. I am going to get the yarn now!!
This is GORGEOUS Tamara! I have seen you posting it on Facebook and I’m sure it’s very popular. Great pattern, design and yarn choice. Excellent job! Thanks for sharing at Hookin On Hump Day!

Do you turn it after every row? I havent starteed this pattern yet but when i do is it okay if i email you questions?
Sure Brittany! My email is mooglystore@gmail.com.
You do not turn after each row of this pattern – it’s worked in a continuous spiral, like a spiral staircase, with each new row just winding around on top of the previous one. You don’t have to mark the first stitch of a row or anything like that, just keep crocheting around and around!
when i start this pattern it should be clear about what you are talking about right? lol
could you post a video of just doing the first few rows so i can visualize how to do this?
Brittany, I’ve got it on my list for next time we film! In the meantime, think of it as a spring, with each layer on top of the previous layer as it goes up and around. In a “normal” pattern, each round is joined, typically with a slip stitch, and then x number of chains are worked to get to the height of the new row. In this pattern, rather than joining, the new round just starts right on top, creating not only a left to right movement, but a gentle upward (to the left) curve as you go.
Okay, I think I got it! One more question, how do i do the seamless join?
Great to hear! The tutorial for the seamless join is on the moogly video tutorials page.
I’ve started this with some plain yarn to figure out if it will work with my recycled silk (because it’s hard to count back stitches on old rows with that stuff it may not be possible) but it’s pretty easy for a beginner. I did end up ripping out my second row with a heavy heart due to it twisting and me not catching it but now everything is working fine. I strongly advise checking for a twist unless that’s what you want.
I can’t wait to do this with other yarns and it’s inspiring me to work with more spaced out crochet. I think the bernat mosaic yarns would be phenomenal with this.
Thank you for sharing the pattern. I’m almost done with my first onr and I am loving it.
I love this! Am starting it now and just posted a pic on my blog, using CASHMERE, hand-dyed yarn. OH, yum. Delish. Love your post! Your personality really shines through and brightened my day. THANK YOU! Chandi
I would really like to make this using three smaller balls of different colored yarn that I got for xmas. Is there a way you’d recommend changing colors using this pattern or how you’d do it? it seems like it will be difficult or not as secure when trying to weave ends in … any help would be greatly appreciated!!
Renee, it depends on the type of yarn, but for this pattern I think your best bet might be a Russian Join – here’s a tutorial for the technique: http://blog.lionbrand.com/2012/06/19/how-to-russian-join-yarn-in-7-easy-steps/
Good luck and let me know if you have any other questions!
Hey I was just wondering if you have any problem with the final product being sold on Etsy if this site is linked in the listing? Just curious because I have just started crocheting and I would like to eventually sell crocheted items in my shop, but trademarks/copyrights and all that can be confusing.
Hi Felicia, thanks for asking! I give permission for anyone to sell finished products made from my Free patterns on Etsy, as long as they do include a link back to moogly with a note that that’s where the free pattern came from. Good luck with your shop, and congrats on starting to crochet!

May I sell the one I make if I’m successful? I’ve got no problem linking it back to you or your page. Really hoping I’ve got enough yarn to do this.
As long as there’s a link back to the pattern on moogly, you may sell anything you make from my free patterns (as long as it’s not the written pattern itself of course)!
Thanks for asking Christina!
Oh what a beauty, love this scarf so much. I made this and for some reason decided to lengthen by casting 280 chains to start. Of course its longer, and enables you to wear it various ways. Despite trying real hard to avoid getting a twist, of course it twisted which was a bummer. However, this does not in any way detract from the beauty of the scarf. The yarn I used was Bounty DK (sage green) with faint specks of red and yellow. I wonder if anyone can suggest how to avoid getting a twist in the scarf as I certainly intend to make more of these.
Others might have suggestions for you, but I actually designed the scarf to incorporate one or more twists – it helps give it it’s shape!
I don’t use acrylics, but I took a chance and got the yarn to make this. I’m quite pleased and will dive into my personal stash to make more of these!
plz notify me asap when u make one
I just made the scarf over Christmas & I love it (I have about a jillion twists because I only half know what I’m doing, but I really like it that way). But I’m having trouble with the button tie. I don’t think I understand where the button is situated when you start the chain because I’m chaining AWAY from the button & can’t figure out how to “Slip the button down close to the hook, and skipping over the button, sl st in the 2nd ch from the hook…” Any way you can help me visualize it a little better?
Thanks for the pattern – even without the button I really love it & plan to make it in multiple colors for me to wear this winter
Hi Dana, I’m so glad you like it! And you’re right, I do think the twists add to this scarf rather than detract!
You’re not the only person to have trouble with the tie, let me see if I can walk you through it:
You start by threading the button on the yarn, and then then push it down the yarn a couple feet, away from the starting end, out of the way. Then you make your slip knot like you normally would, and chain for about 18 inches, pushing the button further down the yarn out of the way as needed. As soon as you’ve got your 18 inches, slide the button back toward your work, so that it’s snug up against the working loop and hook. Then, slip stitch in the 2nd ch from the hook, making sure that you yarn over using the yarn from the other side of the button – effectively trapping the button in that space. Then continue as directed.
Let me know if you have more questions!
Thanks for reading!
That helped a lot! I’ve now made two scarves with buttons & am working on the 3rd one
Thanks!
Hooray! I’m so glad.
MAKING THE LOOP TO WORK IN THE ROUND??????????????????? WHAT DOES THAT MEAN???????????????????????THIS IS INSTRUCTION FOR ROUND 1
Hi DJ! This just means to bring the first chain you made and the last chain you made together, to start crocheting in the first chain you made – this creates a big circle of chains, and you’ll make the scarf working in a spiral over this circle.
that is usually called a slip stitch
A slip stitch is how you usually join to work in the round, but this pattern is worked in a spiral, so you start with a sc instead.
The Tutorial really helped make this clear. Thank you so much.
Which video should I watch to learn how to work this in a spiral, so there is no join at the end of the rounds?
Nancy, I don’t have a video for this yet, but I think I’m going to have to make one! Although this scarf is a tube rather than a flat circle, maybe this video will help you visualize it better: http://www.mooglyblog.com/circles-rounds-vs-spirals/
This is so my kind of pattern no stress just go with the flow I love it!
Exactly Anna!
Could this be done as a mobius, putting an intentional twist in it?
Absolutely Andi! Some of us manage to twist it without even trying lol!
Is there any way I can print this pattern ot without wasting all my ink on printing all the comments? Thanks!
Sure thing Arlene! Look for the green Print Friendly button at the bottom of the pattern. This will print just the pattern without any ads or comments. You can also choose to omit the photos with a check box at the top.
Vielen Dank für dieses wunderbare Muster,es ist einfach nachzuhäkeln und sieht toll aus .Danke und liebe Grüße
Danke!
How does this scarf work out with a different size hook? How much will it change the look of the scarf? If my hook is smaller, do I need to chain more at the beginning?
Jennifer it all depends on the combo of yarn and hook – but this is a great pattern to play with! If you use a smaller hook, you will want to chain more to start – the smaller the hook, the more chains you’ll want to start with!
I love the looks of this pattern–can’t wait to get started on it thank you so much for posting it for us!!!!
I finally made the scarf up — I used an “I” hook and bernat satin in pink. Very nice and super soft. This is a very petty question: but when finishing, your pattern says “ch 5, sk next dc and sc in next sc;” do you mean sc in next dc, then finish with seamless join?
Whoops, right you are Jennifer! Thanks, I’ll edit it right away!
I have so far made several soap savers, 3 bobble hats, one brain waves hat (you linked to), several scrubby “sponges”, the scarf, and I’ve started another men’s hat. All of this instead of finishing my son’s afghan Christmas present. I so love your site. Would you like photos? (not to brag, really, but sometimes as a browser, it is helpful to see items in different colors, etc.)
That’s so awesome Jennifer!
I love to see photos! Are you on the moogly facebook page? That’s usually the easiest way to share pics. 
this is so easy. I was having trouble with another pattern but yours has opened my eyes. I will be working more of these!
Thank you for this wonderful pattern! I have made 2 of these so far, using Lion Brand Homespun, and while one skein doesn’t come up to 20 meshes (really about 1/2 that or a little more) because of the bulkiness of that yarn it still looks GREAT! I have 2 more to make so I can give them to the women in my prayer group. But I know there will be more in my future because I want one for myself and my daughter in law wants one. Great job on a fun pattern!
Thanks so much Terry! I’m so glad you like it!
I absolutely LOVE this scarf! Have made several gifts for friends and everyone can’t stop raving. Thanks for sharing your creativity!
Hello! I absolutely love this scarf and I just went out to get some new yarn for it today but I have one question for you… Does ch 5, sk 5 ch mean chain 5, skip 5 chains or chain 5, skin 5 chains? That’s the oooonly thing confusing me and keeping me from starting lol
Hi Div! sk = skip.
I’m such a dufas I meant to ask does it mean skip 5 chains or skip the 5th chain lol
Great scarf, love it!!!
My question is, when I start row 2, should i be looking at the right or wrong side of the piece? I have one twist….. thanks!
The RS will spin around a bit with the twist, but you don’t “turn” or flip the fabric over, so you should always be working from the same side of the piece.
I love this pattern. I think I did something wrong when doing round 2. About half way in, I realized I had somehow changed from the top of the chain to the bottom of the chain. Is this what you mean by twists? Thanks for your help. Would this pattern work with a ribbon type yarn?
That is indeed how those crazy twists happen! The twists are actually a good thing with this pattern – it helps create the texture and movement.
This pattern has been made with all sorts of yarn now, including ribbon, and they all work great! And thank you!
This is a beautiful pattern and I’ll be making one today with some LBY Homespun to see how it turns out! I do have a question for you… Your note at the bottom says that the pattern itself may not be reproduced, but it does not mention the sale of finished products. If I link back to your blog for the pattern rights, am I permitted to sell this?
Thank you Sarah! You are free to sell any finished products made from this pattern, but I do indeed ask that you link back to the moogly URL with credit for the pattern, either on the listing if online or on the tag if it’s in person sales (craft fairs, stores, etc). Thank you and good luck with your sales!
My sister-in-law loves infinity scarves, but I am still learning how to read patterns. I have started many to eventually find out that I don’t understand the instructions. I have read all the comments and am imbarassed to say I still do not understand the spiral idea for round 2. Is there other web tutorials you would reccomend until you are able to post yours? Is there a way to be contacted when yours is posted?
sandra, I’m afraid I haven’t been able to find anything that I’m afraid won’t be even more confusing. However, we are filming tonight (should be anyway, barring incident!), and I’ll do my best to make sure the ASIS tutorial is posted Wednesday! You can subscribe to the RSS feed for the blog, or if you’re on Facebook come “like” the Moogly page, or follow moogly on twitter – I’ll be announcing it in all those locations!
thank you.
Awesome pattern, super easy and looks great! Very versatile!!

I’m in the process of making one out of Homespun yarn and I was wondering what the approx. width your is. I figure that would be a better way for me to judge if I’m done. I’m using a couple of colors of yarn (left overs) so I can’t use the “use up the skein” idea. So far I really love your pattern. Thanks
Nancy, I believe about 18 inches, but you should definitely try it on and see what you think before you finish off.
And you’re very welcome!
I ended up making it only 5 inches wide. I was working with small balls of leftover yarn and that is what I ended up with with the colors I chose. I tagged you on my pictures and gave you credit. Next time I’ll plan it out better and make it wider, although I do like them narrower than 18″, so maybe I’ll see what 8-10″ looks like with the bulky yarn.

How would you weave in the ends on tthis scarf?
Hi brittany! Think I responded to you via email, but just in case you’re a different brittany, you just weave the ends back along the chain to the nearest double crochets, and go up and down the stitches a few times, weaving through the yarn end itself if possible. Basically, the same thing you’d do when weaving in any project. If the yarn you’re using is particularly slippery or you feel like it just isn’t secure, then a few stitches with matching thread should do it.

I definitely want to make the Artfully Simple Infinity Scarf, but am wondering if it will work with some Starbella yarn that I’ve been saving for a special project. Have you ever tried it with that type of yarn?
I know it’s been made with ribbon yarn, but I don’t know about the Starbella. I don’t see why not though!
Hi,
thank you so much for this pattern. I saw it, and felt in love
But first of all I had to translate it……The only problem I have/had is the length… but I’m sure I will find the right length for me.

Hi. I’m working on the asis which i absolutely love, but i have a question. I’m a beginner and i twisted my starting chain, which i know u said not to worry about, so i kept going, but now its a mobius. Its actually pretty cool looking. It kinda looks like a chevron print so far. I was just wondering if u think this is a bad idea or not? Thanks so much!
Liz, if you like it, go with it! I think it’s a great idea!
When it’s all bunched up for wearing I think it’ll look great.
Thank u! I’m close to finished and i love it! I’ve already picked out yarn for another one.
how many chains would you suggest for super bulky yarn? i made 200 and that was too long
barb, whatever gets you to 60 inches and is divisible by 5!

I made two of these this weekend and LOVE them! Thank you so much for the pattern.
Can someone tell me if one skein of yarn is enough? Thanks.
Pat it depends on what yarn you are using! The pattern calls for 280 yds worsted weight yarn (Red Heart Boutique Unforgettable in Tidal shown), and that’s the content of one skein of this yarn.
Thanks, I am using the same yarn pictured?
Then it’ll just take the one skein.
I made four of these this weekend. I had part of a skein of Red Heart Incredible (Parrot) left from another scarf, so I made a narrow scarf from it. Then I used Bernat Super Saver in Lotus, Violet Twighlight, and Flamenco, which is my favorite. I’m sad that Red Heart Incredible is discontinued because I really like it.
The Bernat yarn is 100% acrylic, but it feels as if it contains rayon. It’s really cool.
I was so excited when I went to JoAnn today to get buttons and saw that the button you used is there! I really wanted that button. There were only two, so I got two other cool buttons.
The pattern is awesome, and I love your comments–”If you run out of yarn before you get through all the rows? Well then stop, because you’re out of yarn, silly.” Hilarious!! I’m sure I’ll be making more for gifts.

I don’t really crochet. Is it possible to do this pattern by knitting? I think it’s so pretty!
Thank you Sherrie! I have no idea how one would knit this. But it’s a great beginner crocheter pattern! Only a couple of stitches to learn.
I just began crocheting! I would LOVE to wear something like this for my cruise in June. If I made this with a thin yarn could I wear this in the warm months? It looks like a beautiful piece of art rather than a scarf-like piece. Do you have any suggestions as to how many chains to begin with using a thin yarn (there are SO many exciting things to figure out about crocheting that any helps would be GREATLY appreciated!!)
I think that would be fantastic Evelyn! To use a thinner yarn, just pick a hook one size larger than that suggested on the label, and chain until it’s between 50 and 60 inches long. Then follow the directions as written from there! You might not want to add as many rows, to keep it lightweight, but play with it and try it on as you go and I’m sure you’ll be able to figure out when to stop.
Enjoy your cruise!
I just finished this scarf in shades of hot pink and purple……love it, love it!!!! I just happened to have the perfect button for it in my button box. Thx for the pattern!!!

Love the scarf. Just started the first one but I can’t seem to find a cute button like the one you have. Where did you find it?
Thanks Connie! I got it at JoAnn Fabrics.
Thank you. I looked their already and didn’t see anything so I’ll go back and look again. Could you tell me the name brand?
I wasn’t able to find it on their website, but I did find it here: http://gobstock.com/blumenthal-button-cut-outs-blue-bird-1pc-3-pack.html?gclid=CL6w3cL4hrYCFUqoPAodMAMAQg
It’s sold out at that site, but there’s a picture to help you find it in person!
Thank you.

Made one using Prism,but i had to chain 410 to get my circle to 50 inches and 6 rows,got the Unforgetable and had to chain 350 to get my circle to 45 inches…. what am I doing wrong
Hi Marie! Sounds like we just have different gauges – nothing “wrong” about that, just the differences between people.
If you like how it looks, go with it, but if your chains are bigger than you like then you might want to try a smaller hook.
So the finished scarf is 50 inches long or is the chain 50 inches long before you make the circle or after the circle.
The chain is 50 inches long before you make the circle.
Thank you so much,don’t know why I was making this so hard…tooooo much thinking.

I am a crochet instructor at a (chain) craft store. I was wondering if it would be alright with you for me to use this pattern at my demo next Wednesday? I would ***NOT*** be teaching anyone. The demos are just to show the craft and highlight certain yarns/techniques. (Basically I just sit there and get paid to crochet for a few hours and talk to people, haha, so I’m really just looking for an ultra-simple but still eye-catching design to be working on, and this fits the bill wonderfully!) Again, I would ***NOT*** be teaching this or giving away the pattern AT ALL! However, if you’d like, I could print up some cards with your website/link to this and give them to any customer who asks specifically about the pattern? Would that be alright with you?
Jinx that would be fantastic! I love it!
Awesome, thank you so much!
Where can I get this yarn. My michaels doesn’t carry it?
Hi Carol! I got it at JoAnn Fabrics, though it’s been selling out like crazy! I did find a few colorways in stock on walmart.com and robertscrafts.com.
I made 2 of these scarves and wrote about them here. The first one was done in some random worsted yarn and it didnt hang the way i wanted it too, then I got some of the yarn you used originally and I love it. Thank you so much for sharing the pattern!
You’re very welcome! I’m so glad you gave it another try!
I am not a scarf person, but I thought this looked like fun. I had some self-striping red heart super saver I needed to use, and I thought it would be good for this. I am just trying to figure out how you got 60 inches. I am 8 rounds in, I crochet loosely (always), and my original strip was no where close to 60 inches, and neither will the width. How did you do it?
The width/row height shouldn’t be 60 inches (closer to 10-20), but the circumference should be between 50 and 60 inches. Everyone has a different gauge, and different yarns work up very differently!
Really pretty! Thanks!
This is the second pattern I’ve seen by you with a couple more at the bottom of the directions — you are such a talented and creative crocheter (such a word?) . . . I am in LOVE with your designs. You ROCK ! ! !
Just wanted to say thanks for this awesome pattern, i learnt to crochet 3 days ago and was still able to make this in just over 3 hours or so. It was nice to find a pattern that wasnt going to make me feel like i was choking as some neckwarmers and cowls do, am definately making mum one for Mothers day
thanks very much
Oh that’s awesome to read KelleaMarie! Thank you so much for saying so.
