When I finished my Venus Shell Crochet Slouch Hat, I knew right away that I wanted to publish a matching infinity scarf crochet pattern for you all! Some simple, soothing stitching resulted in this effortlessly luxurious crochet cowl pattern.

The Venus Shell stitch adds just a bit of graceful height to traditional shell stitches. By trading up singles for doubles, and doubles for trebles, you add just enough airiness to make this cowl suitable for just about any season. The stitches can breathe in warmer weather, but are still cozy enough to keep you warm when it’s chilly. Perfection!

Since this infinity scarf crochet pattern is worked sideways, you’re free to adjust the sizing to your own tastes without any fuss at all. I kept it short and light because I’m a Floridian. If your four seasons include winter in place of tourist season, you might enjoy extending it twice as long for a double loop scarf!

Let’s get started!
Materials
1 skein Caron Simply Soft Yarn, or approx. 140 yds Worsted (4) weight yarn.

PS- Have you tried my Locked Loop Ends method for working in yarn tails? This technique completely changed how I start my crochet projects!

Love this hat & scarf set
Rebecca Mahon says
It says to chain 43, then for row 1 it says to chain 3, and do 3 treble crochets in the first stitch. My question is do I just chain 46, or do 3 treble crochets in the 3rd chain form the hook? Thanks so much. 🙂

i do no understand row one chain 43 and chain 3. Please explain, Thank you.
Donna says
Hi! I think I am understanding it as, you are going to basically chain 46. I think the extra 3 chains are going to count as a treble, then you will make 3 more trebles into the 4th chain from the hook.

Also- I take it that we are to repeat between the asterisks? Beginners may not understand this
Katie says
Yes, that’s right! I usually note that in the pattern, but sometimes you forget what you already know. Thanks for reminding me to triple check stuff like this!
