This past fall I released my Argyle Beanie & Slouch as part of Mini-Mystery Crochet Along #17. Shortly after the MMCAL ended, Cathleen (a talented crocheter in our Facebook group) shared photos of the infinity scarves she made using the argyle hat pattern and Lion Brand Scarfie yarn. She also used Scarfie to make a couple coordinating hats and the sets turned out fabulously! I asked Cathleen if she would allow me to use her photos for this blog post and she graciously agreed. You can find the free crochet pattern in this post below, or an ad-free print friendly version on Love Crafts here, Ravelry here, or on Etsy here.

Although Cathleen used a bulky weight yarn for her crochet infinity scarves, I've written the pattern for both worsted and bulky weight yarns so you can use your favorite yarn for yours. Make sure to read the notes section below for a couple of yarn alternatives.

Notes

• The entire pattern is worked in continuous rounds (a spiral). I suggest using a stitch marker to keep track of the round you're on.
• Yarn Notes: This pattern includes instructions for BOTH a worsted weight & bulky weight infinity scarf & cowl. Lion Brand Yarn's Scarfie was used for the sample shown in the photos. Lion Brand Pound of Love, Wool Ease, Touch of Alpaca etc are great worsted weight alternatives.
• Lion Brand Scarfie in Cream/Taupe, 78% Acrylic / 22% Wool (312 yards / 285 m / 150 g / 5.3 oz).
• Lion Brand Pound of Love, 100% Acrylic (1020 yards / 932 m / 454 g / 16 oz).
• Lion Brand Yarns Wool Ease: 80% Acrylic / 20% Wool (197 yds / 180 m / 85 g / 3 oz)
• Lion Brand Touch of Alpaca, 90% Acrylic / 10% Alpaca (207 yards / 190 m / 100 g / 13.5 oz)
• Pattern Repeats:  In the crochet instructions you'll see: rep from ( to ) around. The instructions written within the ( ) parentheses are one full pattern repeat. You are to repeat these around the entire cowl. The stitch pattern will repeat evenly so you should not have any stitches remaining at the end of each round.  
• The stitch pattern is a multiple of 8. You can increase or decrease the circumference of your cowl simply by adding or subtracting 8 chains from your set-up row. 
• This pattern includes instructions for both cowl and infinity scarf lengths and each is written separately. 
• Changes for yarn weights written as follows: worsted (bulky)
• Yardage
  • Worsted Weight Cowl: 180 yards
  • Bulky Weight Cowl: 160 yards
  • Worsted Weight Infinity Scarf: 340 yards
