    Once the crochet pattern idea for the Neon Dreams Infinity Scarf came to me, it demanded to be made. I started it late one night, and had it finished by the middle of the next - a neon fever! And it packs a COLOR PUNCH!

    It's long enough to wear a variety of ways, but anyway you wear it, it's sure to get you noticed!

    Neon Dreams Infinity Scarf

    Add this pattern to your Ravelry Queue

    • US - I hook, 5.5mm
    • 460 yds (8.9oz) total worsted weight yarn, in 5 colors (Bernat Handicrafter shown, approx. 92 yds of each)
    • Stitch marker (optional)
    • Gauge: 14 sts x 7 rows = 4" in pattern
    • Size: 8" wide x 78" long (before joining ends to create infinity scarf)
    • Notes and Tips:
      1. I've written the pattern in standard format, starting each row with a ch 3, which counts as the first st of the row. However, I recommend using the Chainless Starting Dc instead for an even better result!
      2. After Row 1, dc into the ch sp when appropriate, rather than the ch itself.
      3. Every row will have 28 sts, including the chain sts.
      4. If you use a st marker to mark the side of every Row 19 repeat, it will make counting rows to stay on pattern easier.

    Written Instructions: (scroll down for chart!)

    Row 1: With Color A, ch 30. Dc in the 4th ch from the hook (3 ch counts as first st). Dc in the next ch. [Ch 2, skip 2 ch, dc in the next 7 ch] twice. Ch 2, skip 2 ch, dc 5. Turn. (28 sts including chs)

    Row 2: Ch 3, dc in the next 6 sts. [Ch 2, skip 2 sts, dc in the next 7 sts] twice. Ch 2, skip 2 sts, dc in the last st. Turn.

    Row 3: Ch 3, dc in the next 7 sts. [Ch 2, skip 2 sts, dc in the next 7 sts] twice. Ch , skip 1 st, dc in the last st. Turn.

    Row 4: Ch 3, dc in the next st. [Ch 2, skip 2 sts, dc in the next 7 sts] twice. Ch 2, skip 2 sts, dc in the last 6 sts. Turn.

    Row 5: Ch 3, dc in the next 3 sts. [Ch 2, skip 2 sts, dc in the next 7 sts] twice. Ch 2, skip 2 sts, dc in the last 4 sts. Turn.

    Row 6: Ch 3, dc in the next 5 sts. [Ch 2, skip 2 sts, dc in the next 7 sts] twice. Ch 2, skip 2 sts, dc in the last 2 sts. Turn.

    Row 7: Ch 4, skip the next st, dc in the next 7 sts. [Ch 2, skip 2 sts, dc in the next 7 sts] twice. Dc in the last st. Turn.

    Row 8: Ch 5, skip the next 2 sts, dc in the next 7 sts. [Ch 2, skip 2 sts, dc in the next 7 sts] twice. Turn.

    Row 9: Ch 3, dc in the next 4 sts. [Ch 2, skip 2 sts, dc in the next 7 sts] twice. Ch 2, skip 2 sts, dc in the last 3 sts. Turn.

      I would really like to make something like this in Christmas colors, but the total would only be four stripes ( red, white, green, white) or eight (red, white, green, white, red, white, green, white). Any suggestions?

        Sure! The scarf is 136 rows long, so to make it in 4 colors I would change colors every 34 rows or so instead - it's basically an 18 row repeat, so it's just a matter of shifting the color breaks around. 🙂

      I tried this pattern and my scarf was not coming out correct. Do the skip two and chain two line up? Mine were not and I didn't always have 28 stitches sometimes I had less. I tried this several different times and could not get it. What was I doing wrong?

        The 28 includes the chains, and the ch 3 at the beginning of each row counts as a stitch as well. Whenever you skip two, you also chain two. The "holes" created by the skip 2/ch 2 should form a repeating diagonal pattern across the width of the scarf. I'll try to add a chart!

        Cay, since it's 136 rows, you could do the first 68 in one color and the last 68 in the second, or change colors every 34 rows for 4 blocks of color!

      I just love the Pattern and it looks quite easy. Do you think it would look OK if I used my leftover yarns? I have a lot of partial skeins and I would like to use them up instead of buying more yarn. It would have a stripped effect than blocks.What do you think?

      I've made up a scarf and am ready to stitch the ends together, do you twist one side to form a moebus ring or join straight? If I join straight it seems like I should frog row 136 to match the diagonal squares pattern. If I twist they do line up but then the pattern reverses. Thanks!

      Love this pattern. Am finishing up the first one in an earth tone print yarn and then going on to the brights like you have done! This has become my go to site for fast easy to understand directions. Love the chart. Saved it as a pic on my tablet and makes creating much easier. I was never a fan of chats, but you have made this easy to follow and a joy to create. I always look forward to what you make next.
