The Artfully Simple Infinity Scarf pattern includes written instructions and a chart... and now there's a video that gives a basic overview of how to get it started! Getting past the start of Row 2 was tripping a few people up (so if it gave you trouble, you're not alone), but hopefully, the following video will make it all clear!
Basics of the Artfully Simple Infinity Scarf
So as you can see, the spiral forms because you don't slip stitch and chain to start each new row - they're just made in continuous strips around and around in a circle. If you look at the photo below, you can see that it just keeps going and going and going. 
And remember too, that that's the point - this mesh fabric winds and twists, and if you miss a stitch here or twist a chain there, that's okay! Keep going! Those twists and turns give this piece it's motion and shape, and makes each piece unique.
So don't be afraid to dive right in, and make your own Artfully Simple Infinity Scarf! Check out the project gallery on Ravelry or the Moogly Facebook page to get some yarn and color inspiration - this pattern really shows off your own style. Then come share your photos with us!

hi,i'm having trouble,iv'e gotten to row 2 or 3 and all of a sudden the pattern is going the opposite direction, why is that? I have taken it apart down to the first row twice and now i need to take it apart again. what am I doing wrong. I love this pattern. I am supposed to be giving it as a gift in a couple days but can't get past this issue. I also am a left hander so my climbing is to the right until i get to that row and all of a sudden it's going left
moogly says
I'm wondering if you're flipping it over and working into the opposite side of the starting chain maybe? Are the dc sts zig zagging then?
barb says
thanks, that was it!!
Wendy says
Just wondering because I can't find the beautiful Red heart Boutigue yarn in my area (or on line for that matter )lol!!..I had bought some Bernhardt Mosaic and doesn't seem to be looking like yours ..So does the wool make a big difference in the finished product ....(I am a beginner so not sure if am doing something wrong ...looking at the video I am not but doesn't seem very clean or consistant like your pictures ....Thanks so much .....really love the scarf.
moogly says
It is hard to find, but Red Heart does say they're making more, and hopefully it'll be back in stores soon! The yarn used does make a difference, though Mosaic seems to be a common substitute. Unforgettable doesn't have any wool, but it definitely has a "wool look" to it. It says that the Unforgettable is available online at JoAnn: http://www.joann.com/red-heart-boutique-unforgettable-yarn/zprd_11835121a/ but if you want to see a finished ASIS in a variety of yarns, check out the Ravelry gallery: http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/artfully-simple-infinity-scarf/people That should give you a better idea of how the yarn affects the scarf. 🙂
Wendy says
Thank you will have a look ,Also I see the zig zag comment ,maybe that's where I am having difficulty ? Will keep at it .: )..Wendy
Wendy says
Hi there,
Quick question for you ..On this particulat scarf did you use a smaller hook as I tried the K and did not get such nice tight stiches ,now am using the an "I" hook and still seems not as tight as yours ..the wool I have is different as still can't locate your brand ,,but the Bernhardt Mosiac is quite thin ...what am I doing wrong ? thanks so much...still is cool though but would love it to look as good as yours ...: )
moogly says
I did use the K but the yarn I used was different - with a thinner yarn you'll definitely want a smaller hook! Just use the one that gives you the stitches you like, and then work the starting chain to about 60 inches long and go from there! 🙂
Wendy says
Thanks : )
Annie says
Your Tutorial was just great! Thank you so much.
It was very helpful. Now I know that I need to "join in the first chain to form a ring" - the chaining (2 dc, ch 5) portion I got - just wasn't sure how one could continue without turning unless you formed a ring. Now that I see to form the ring with a sc, it will be a piece of cake.
It is such a lovely piece. Making mine using the Redheart "with LOVE" super soft yarn in the Waterlily colour skein. Very elegant and feminine. Perfect accessory with jeans or slacks, or with a dressy outfit. Going to make several in various colours for family and friends.
Thanks so much!
moogly says
Thank you Annie! I'm so glad it helped! 😀 Red Heart with Love is fantastic, I agree!
Denita says
Thank you so much for the video. Makes more sense now. I can't wait to find some yarn this weekend and make one or I can see several in my future!!!!!
Vickie says
I absolutely love this scarf. I have made 2. I gave the first one to my friend and made another one for me. The only problem is I have made mine very long. Is there any way I can correct this problem. I love this scarf and would appreciate any help you could give me
moogly says
Hi Vickie! To shorten the scarf, just reduce the number of chains you start with - chain to the desired length, then start in with the directions for Round 1. Since you don't have to have a perfect stitch count, don't worry too much about the counting.
Vickie says
Thanks for your help. Do you have a pattern that's open on both ends instead of crocheted in the round?
moogly says
Vickie I do not, I'll have to ponder that one!
Vickie says
I would like to share just a story. My grandmother taught me to crochet when I was 8. I am now in my 40's. Haven't picked up a needle since. Somehow it was like riding a bike. It came back so naturally. Every time I wear my scarf someone asks me to make one for them. I am now finishing one for my 18yo daughter and will start one for her best friend as soon as I get finished with my daughter's. I can't thank you enough for this quick, easy, and beautiful pattern.
moogly says
Such a great story Vickie, thank you so much for sharing it! <3
Raven says
I DID IT! I am so happy now 😀
Thank you so very much for the pattern and the video tut for it
I am beaming here, huge grin lol

patti says
I just finished one of these scarves a few minutes ago...At first, I couldn't see how it was going to work, but as I continued crocheting, I got it. It's so pretty..I had an afghan I'd started who knows when, was pulling it apart and winding the yarn into balls when I decided to just use one of the balls to make this scarf. So I don't really know what brand of yarn I used, but now I'm ready to dig around in my stash and see what else I can come up with. I'm thinking these will make some fantastic gifts for family and friends.
moogly says
😀 Love this success story! I'm so glad it worked and you enjoyed it! 😀
Connie says
Do you have a video on how to make the tie? Not sure how but if I see how I would be able to figure it out.
Tamara Kelly says
Connie I don't have a video of the tie currently, but there's a detailed walkthrough in the comments on the original pattern that might help!
Connie says
Thank you. Hope I can figure it out.

Tamara Kelly says
Thank you corina!
Susie says
Thank you for this lovely pattern. I enjoyed your video tutorials to watch prior to getting started. 🙂 What I most enjoyed about your video tutorial is that it was not offensive to the ears. Not a lot of loud or harsh music. You kept explanations simple and to the point without going down rabbit trails. <3
Tamara Kelly says
😀 Thank you so much Susie! I appreciate you saying so!
Donna says
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this pattern. It is so easy and quick. Say the video and couldn't wait to make one so used yarn I already had. I used Red Heart super saver in Wildflower. Not too bad, but can't wait to get the Boutique yarn and make another one. Making them for Christmas presents. Thanks so much!! 🙂
Tamara Kelly says
😀 Thank you Donna! I'm so glad you enjoy it!
DeDe says
Hi,
I am so happy with this pattern, THANK YOU!!!
I just purchased my first ever HANK of Merino, extra fine, hand painted wool from peru and this is working up Beautifu! Very, very thankful for this free pattern.
Look forward to future moogly patterns.
Happy crocheting
Tamara Kelly says
🙂 Thank you so much DeDe! That yarn sounds gorgeous!

Thank you Lisa!
Lynn says
Thank you very much for the excellent video on how to complete the button tie. I followed along and completed it successfully!
Tamara Kelly says
🙂 I'm so glad to hear it, thank you!
Jo Ann says
I have made these and do have the pattern. I can't seem to delete from my iPad HELP
Tamara Kelly says
I'm sorry Jo Ann, I don't have an iPad and have no idea how to delete things from one!
EDIE says
I would like to make this scarf for someone who lives in N. Carolina, where temperatures are very moderate. Any suggestions for yarn and needle size?
Tamara Kelly says
When crocheting for warm climates, I like to use lighter weight cotton and bamboo yarns. 🙂 The hook size just depends on what gives you the fabric you like!
Karen says
Hi Tamara,
I have been wanting to make the Artfully Simple scarf and wanted to view the Basics of the Artfully Simple Scarf, however, the video seems to have disappeared. Can you help?
Karen

Ah, another victim of the big http to https switch - it should be all fixed now! Thank you for letting me know!
