Hello friends! I don’t know what it is about the fall weather but it always seems to bring about a new crochet infinity scarf pattern, or two or three. 
I must admit, I’m pretty excited about this pattern! I’ve made 3 already in a pretty short period of time, and I really think you are going to love this new design! The Stormy Waters crochet infinity scarf uses the beautiful Lion Brand Landscape yarn, another great substitute would be the Red Heart Unforgettable, but this particular scarf style really does shine beautifully with the suggested yarns.
That being said, you can use whatever yarn type you like, you would just want to adjust your hook size accordingly for the type of yarn you are using.
Not only will the Stormy Waters Crochet Infinity Scarf be the perfect accessory addition, but it is totally FREE along with a full video tutorial for any crochet level!
One quick announcement before moving on with the pattern! A new exciting giveaway will be announced next week! Make sure if you haven’t already signed up for our newsletter that you subscribe right on the homepage of YarnWars.com so you can be the first to know when something new comes around the bend at YarnWars!
And now, for the…
Stormy Waters Crochet Infinity Scarf Pattern
FULL VIDEO TUTORIAL AVAILABLE FOR THIS PATTERN
Materials
- Yarn- I used Lion Brand Landscapes. Another similar would be Red Heart Unforgettable. (1 skein of Landscapes makes approximately 26” scarf. 2 skeins were used in photos which made it 52”) You can use a different yarn but you will want to adjust your hook size accordingly.
- J hook- 6mm
- Stitch marker (optional)
- Blunt needle
- Scissors
Techniques & Terms
- Hdc – Half double crochet
- Sc – Single crochet.
- Fpdc – Front post double crochet. (Yarn over, insert hook in, from front, around and back through to front of double crochet from previous row. Yarn over, pull hook through stitch, yarn over pull through 2 loops, yarn over, pull through last 2 loops on hook.) Example of fpdc below.
- Sl st- Slip stitch
- Ch – chain
Fpdc Diagram:
After step 3 in the diagram above, you will complete a regular double crochet.
Pattern:
[Based on 21 chain pattern below, each row will end with 20 stitches. Width of scarf is approximately 5.5”]
- Begin by chaining 21 – (For wider scarf, add chains to odd number)
- Work hdc into 2nd ch from hook and each chain to end. (To work this row with a seamless foundation giving a nicer finish, see this VIDEO)
- Ch 3, skip 1st 2 st, work 3 dc into 3rd st, *skip next 2 st, 3 dc into next st* Repeat ** until you have 2 st left at end of row. Skip 1 st, 1 dc into last st.
- Ch 2, work 1 sc into 1st st, fpdc around 1st dc in 1st set of 3 dc from previous row, sc into next dc, fpdc around 3rd dc in set. *fpdc around 1st dc of 2nd set of 3 dc from previous row, sc into next dc, fpdc around 3rd dc* Repeat ** for each set of 3 dc from previous round, then work 1 sc into top of the 3rd chain at end.
Repeat rows 3 and 4 until you have worked your scarf to the length you desire, ending with row 4, then proceed to row 5.
- Ch 1, hdc into 1st st and every stitch to end, finish off but leave approx. 8-10” tail if making an infinity.
Optional finish:
If you wish to leave as a regular scarf, you can finish off in row 5 without leaving a tail.
If making an infinity, you can use the tail to stitch back and forth on each end to close your 2 ends together, OR you can work my totally invisible granny square join method! It doesn’t take any longer and you will have a beautiful flat/flush seam that will be difficult to see =)

Have a perfectly wonderful day & happy yarning, my friends!
I LOVE, LOVE , LOVE the stormy waters pattern and have made 4 scarves, 3 slouch hats and a beanie for Xmas gifts. Do / would you have directions on how to make an afghan or throw blanket using the same pattern stitch? I imagine it would be just beautiful! Thank you in advance, Colleen!
Hi Letitia! I am so sorry for being so late with a reply here! thank you for your kind words =)
A typical throw is approx 50 x 60″
For the Stormy waters pattern: [Based on 21 chain pattern below, each row will end with 20 stitches. Width of scarf is approximately 5.5”]
So if you just multiply the size of the throw by the starting chain and width of the scarf you can come up with a starting chain for that size…
I would say starting with a chain count of 200 + 1 should get you very close to that size =)
You might have to play with it a bit depending oh your hook size and yarn weight.
Hello, I like you’re beautyfull crochet scarf shawl ( but manny things to, I love it very mutch..)…and would like to print the pattern so I can read en nit the same time, can you help me doing that beaches I can not find the link for print..

Could you give the instructions for the outside border? If I missed it I apologize
Hi Lauren! I didn’t make a border on this scarf. If you wanted to, you could work a border of single crochets around your project when you finish, but I actually like the edges as is so I didn’t make one. I’m sorry.
Hi. I love this pattern so going to give it a go but before I start can I ask if it is in UK or US crochet terminology? I’m a beginner so wanted to double check. Thanks.
US ???? Thanks for trying my pattern Sarah!
I am going to try and make the scarf for myself. It looks easy and I like the yarn that you used. Keep up the
good work. Thanks for the free pattern
Thank you Elizabeth! Yes! It is a pretty easy scarf, even for a newbie crocheter, it isn’t that difficult and is very simple once you go a few rounds with the front post dc. =)
I have only learned how to double crochet from my Nana Gentner and have taught it to my after School program children and they loved it. So now after watching your video I’m going to try this beautiful scarf pattern. Praying all goes well. And thanks for doing your video so close so I could see your work. Excited to start. Peace
Oh I’m so glad you like it Lisa! And I’m happy to know that the video is helpful to you =) Thanks so much for your sweet comment ♥
I love this pattern. Is there a matching hat pattern? Not sur how to do this in the round. Question, I tried to make this a little bigger using 25 chains but I ended up with 3 extra stitches at the end instead if two?
It is so funny you ask this! I am in the middle of sizing the work up for this exact pattern for a matching hat =D It will be available in a few days, my husband has had some health issues so I’m trying to get it done in between doctor appointments. Thanks Sherrie!
I’m eager to do one (or more!) of this scarf! I love the texture – and it’s a rather simple pattern to memorize, so I don’t have to waste time repeatedly looking back and forth from my work to the pattern! This might be THE pattern that finally gets me out of my crochet funk! I want to make something, but it’s been hard just to pick up the hooks and get started…..I think we all have been there at one time or another, right? I see so many things I want to make…I have stash that’s taking over the house – but it’s just been hard to get back into it…
Going to pick up my yarn and hook and start one of these tonight – right after dinner…now I can’t wait! My girls might have a homemade gift for Christmas after all!
Thank you for sharing this lovely pattern…now, which yarn shall I pick? Hmmm! I have some Malabrigo just waiting to be picked up and hooked….here I go!
Thanks again!
Oh Carol, I really hope it does help you get your crojo back! I feel your struggle right now with that, I’m in a bit of a stump myself with crochet. A lot going on will do that to you. This is actually one of my favorite scarfs to date and I really hope you like it and yes! It is easy! That is one of the most wonderful things about it. I’m currently working on a Bernat scarf pattern from a skein, just to switch things up a bit and I keep having to go back and look to get back on track if I set it down for more than a day. You will zip through this one. I would love to see your beautiful workup when you finish!♥
Just did a sample of this scarf and it is Fabulous!!!!!!! It is quite simple but yet Very elegant looking. I’m going to making Quite A Few of these!!!! SOOOOO happy to have found your page! Thank you!!!!!
Anne, that is so sweet of you! Thanks for your kind comment! I’m so glad to hear that you like it =)♥
Found you & your fun patttern on YouTube! Adore the Landscape yarn (I’m using their Autumn self-striping colours), and I already am looking forward to making others using different yarn. Your instructional videos are helpful as well cuz I’m just 2yrs into this craft and still learning! Thanks again, I’m now a Pinterest and Facebook follower too. ????
This sounds absolutely lovely! Autumn self-striping.. I’m going to have to look for that one! Thanks so much for your comment Connie! So happy you like it! =) ♥
This pattern is great. I made it with a yarn cake from Bernat and crocheted it in one afternoon. Love, love, love it!
Heike! Thanks so much for your super kind feedback! I love working with the Bernat cakes! The Pops? That would be such a great yarn to try this with and that is exactly what I’m going to do!
Would love to see your workup!
Thanks again Heike and have a wonderful day!
Love it. Is there a way to download load it?
Thanks so much!! Yes! I have a printable pdf in the Files tab in the YarnWars Facebook group =) http://www.facebook.com/groups/yarnwars . Have a great night sassybigsky!
