Infinity Scarves

 This is easy to read crochet directions for people who do not understand crochet speak. This is just about the easiest scarf to make without just doing chains the entire time. 

To start pick your yarn and your hook. I chose this cozy wool because it is extra soft and warm in my opinion. My hook is a large because my yarn is double stranded and I wanted there to be space in my scarf as seen above. Any yarn and hook size will work just as it will with all patterns. The larger the hook the looser the scarf.

 Make a slip not which is just a knot around the hook. Leave a short end of yarn a couple inches or so. the yarn that you will be pulling from is your working yarn.

 Next you are going to wrap your pulling yarn around the hook as seen below and  pull the strand through the loop on the hook. Repeat and Repeat. 

 

This is your chain and will continue to grow as you  repeat the pattern. I usually make my chain a little shorter than arms length for the size scarf seen above in the first picture. 

 Make sure that you have a comfortable way of holding the yarn. I like run the yarn between my pinky and ring finger then I keep my index finger up while crocheting. You will figure out what is most comfortable to you as you progress. 

 When you have done your final chain you will turn around and go back through. You can see the whole to enter through because I tried to make it more prominent in the picture and am touching it with my middle finger. You just go through that opening. 

 

You will now have two rows of yarn on your hook. What you are going to do is wrap the yarn and pull it through only one of the links. Then you wrap the yarn and go through the two that are on there. 

Wrap and pull through one then wrap and pull through two.  

 

 This is what it should look like if you are doing it correctly. Then you repeat going into the next link all the way down the scarf. I have included a few examples of what it should look like along the way. 

 Once you have gotten to the end there is something different you need to do. Do not turn around just yet. You need to do one extra single chain which is what we did at the beginning. Then you turn around and go back down. 

 Your ends should be clean and look like this but if they aren't just yet it doesn't exactly matter because we are going to connect the ends later but these get easier as they go. 

 On your last row instead of doing the pattern of pull through one pull trough two we are just going to do a single go through the link and wrap around the working yarn and pull it all the way through. Repeat this until the end. This will make both ends match each other. The picture below is what your last row should look like. 

 Fold the two ends of the scarf together.

 

You are going to push through both sides of the scarf and repeat the single stitch crochet with going through both ends once wrapping around and pulling all the way through. You should have three sets to pull though because you have the yarn on the hook and the two layers of the folded scarf. When you get to end you will be on the side with your link your hook is through and both sets of yarn strands. 

 pull the beginning leftover yarn through the look and tie it up with the working yarn. Tie this knot tight because this is what holds your scarf together. 

 Your connection piece should look like below which is the inside of the scarf. 

Now after all that work you have an extremely adorable scarf that all of your friends will want to learn to make or be careful, have you make.  Repeat this in every color and you will have a scarf with every outfit!!
