Fall is the perfect time to start a new crochet project that will have you feeling cute and cozy even as the weather turns colder.
Sure, you could make a regular scarf, but I personally prefer infinity scarves. Every bit of an infinity scarf is useful – unlock those dangly bits at either end of a traditional scarf that just hang there doing nothing.
Plus, I never have to worry about them falling off my neck! You really owe it to yourself to check out these 10 free patterns for crochet infinity scarves.
If you don’t know how to crochet an infinity scarf, don’t worry. It’s really not any harder than a regular scarf.
Sometimes the crochet infinity scarf free pattern will have you make a long rectangle and sew the ends together.
Other times the pattern will just have you work in the round to make a big circle. Either way, it’s easy-peasy. Check out the free patterns below, choose the one that strikes your fancy, and just give it a go!
1. Rustic Lace Scarf
I know that an infinity crochet scarf may be the last place you’d expect to find lace work, but hear me out! The touch of lace in this design really elevates this piece and makes it feel more sophisticated and feminine. You’ll be wrapping it around your neck twice anyway, so it’s not like you’re going to be exposed to the elements.

2. Braided Infinity Scarf
So this is one of our patterns for crochet infinity scarves that actually falls outside the two construction methods I explained in the intro. But I would still totally count this design as an easy one. Once you see the simple trick to achieving this bulky braided look, I think you’ll agree with me.

3. Color-Blocked Infinity Scarf
Hop on the colorblock trend and incorporate it into a scarf. It’s a great way to have a multicolor cowl without having to change colors a million times (and weave in all those extra ends). It’s also a great way to use up 2 partial skeins of yarn leftover from other projects. Talk about a win-win!

4. Sunset Scarf
Another easy way to inject some color into your infinity crochet scarves is to use a self striping yarn. I’m especially partial to the color of yarn used here because the rich warm tones are just perfect for fall. The color combined with the easy lace stitch makes this design a real head turner.

5. The Ribs and Ridges Scarf
Turn up the texture with ribs and ridges in this monochrome design. If you want to know how to crochet an infinity scarf that’s extra warm, then this is a great way to do it. The 3-dimensional elements really help tighten up the overall stitch work and provide multiple layers against the cold.

6. Color Pooling Scarf
With the right skein of yarn and a little bit of trial and error, you can recreate this color pooling crochet infinity scarf. It’s one of those techniques that’s tricky at first, but once it “clicks” in your brain, then it’s smooth sailing from there. Everyone will be so impressed when you wear it because it looks like a complicated design! (even though it’s really not)

7. Petal Infinity Scarf
Sure, you could make yourself a crochet infinity scarf by just using all single crochet stitches or something, but that sounds pretty boring to me! Opt for an easy textured stitch instead to keep you engaged with your project from start to finish. (While still having room in your brain to listen to a podcast while you work)

8. Cherries in Bloom Infinity Scarf
Granny goes bold in this stunning chunky crochet infinity scarf. My favorite part of this design is the color scheme because it is very feminine without feeling little kiddish. The best part is that you can crochet this pattern very quickly thanks to the thick weight of the recommended yarn.

A thick and cozy crochet infinity scarf made with crisscrossed puff stitches really stands out against a plain sweater. It’s the kind of accessory that is sure to make other people jealous when they see you wearing it. Beware or they might ask you to make one for them too!
