This Cozy Winter Infinity Scarf is a pattern I created to be simple and easy to follow. It’s a 2 row repeat; once you understand the pattern you can sit down in front of the tv or listen to an audio book and continue until it’s complete. The yarn used for the one in the main picture is some leftover Yarn Bee Brushworks yarn I had (80% Acrylic/ 20% Alpaca), but you can use any yarn that you choose. The Brushworks yarn is somewhere between a #3 and #4 weight. The pattern is written based on how I made the scarf in the main picture using 4 colors, the pattern is written for 3, but you can use any number of colors you like once get the repeat down.

The yarn used in this scarf is Hobbii Rainbow Bamboo in the colors Almond 03, Burnt Terracotta 22, and Dusty Pink Velvet 29 with a 4.5mm hook.
I made this scarf (below) with different specifications (57″ around, 9″ wide) using sport weight yarn (Alpaca Silk from Hobbii) and a 2.75mm hook. The starting chain for this scarf is 305 (because of the smaller hook). I used 4 skeins and switched colors once I used each one so no yarn would be wasted. Sometimes that meant switching colors in the middle of the row. The rest of the pattern is the same. You can adapt the pattern any way you like to your desired measurements.
