Lately, I have been crocheting a ton of scarves. I think after making four afghans for Christmas, I enjoyed taking on small crochet projects that did not take more than three months to complete! I happened to see a crocheted, braided infinity scarf on Pinterest and it looked simple and cute so I decided to give it a try. Come to find, it is very simple.
With my first one in Grey Marble, I braided it very loosely so the braids are not that well defined. With my second one, in Wheat, I only crocheted four rows of double crochet and braided more tightly.
Here is the pattern I followed.
Materials:
- Vanna's Choice Yarn- I made one in Grey Marble (2 rolls of yarn) and one in Wheat (2 rolls of yarn).
- 6 mm crochet hook
Directions:
- Chain 120
- Row 1: start with 3rd chain from hook, dc across
- Row 2: Ch 2, turn and dc across.
- Row 3-5: Repeat row 2 and finish off.
- Repeat the above for a total of three strips
- Whipstitch the three strips together, with one laying on top of the other. Braid, then whipstitch the three loose strips together just like the other end. Finally, whipstitch the two ends to one another.
I plan to make many more braided scarves to give away as gifts, hope you guys give it a try.
