Mountain Trail Infinity Crochet Scarf Pattern Details
This easy crochet infinity scarf pattern has very simple, beginner-friendly construction. You will crochet a rectangle which is worked row by row and the ends are then folded together and sewn or crocheted to create the infinity scarf shape. The added buttons are decorative only and completely optional.
This easy crochet scarf is worked by alternating colors from two yarn cakes or by working both ends of the same yarn cake, switching colors every second row. Since this pattern requires two cakes to finish I would recommend working yarn ends from the two cakes at the same time. If you get into a situation where you have just one cake left to work you can “split” the cake into two with a Yarn Winder* (my recommended brand of Yarn Winder is the Stanwood. I have been using mine for years!) . Working from separate cakes makes this method much easier!
Using self-striping yarn with this technique really provides interesting texture and a unique woven look to your finished infinity crochet scarf. You could certainly choose to alternate two solid colors instead of the self-striping yarn I used for another option as well.
And, even though you are working color changes throughout no worries about a ton of ends to weave in at the end. You will not cut yarn when changing between yarn cakes – drop unused yarn to be picked up 2 rows later. Yarn floats will be covered during the seaming process.
Even though this stitch pattern may look complicated it is much easier than it looks. You are using basic crochet stitches; the beginner-friendly double crochet stitch and single crochet stitches throughout. The unique placement of the double crochet stitches creates the interesting woven appearance.

I am using another one of my favorite yarns by Lion Brand – Ferris Wheel yarn* with many vibrant color options and short ombre color changes. Another great yarn choice for this stitch pattern is Lion Brand Mandala Tweed Stripes yarn*. However, you could certainly use another self-striping medium worsted weight yarn of your choice.
For the buttons I purchased an assortment of fun Decorative Wood Buttons from Amazon. Very economical assortment of 100 decorative wood buttons which would be great for so many different projects!
