End of Winter Double Strand Infinity Scarf

by | Accessories, All Designs, Crochet, Free Patterns

This past weekend was pretty warm here, and by warm, I mean, it’s still January, and the temperature is above freezing.  The snow is melting, and the magnolia next door is thinking about budding.  But it’s still winter, and we can get hit by frigid temps and snowy weather any day, at least until April.  So even though I’m already looking forward to Easter and spring and sunshine, there is still a need to stay warm.

One Dog Woof: Double Strand Infinity Scarf

Here’s a smaller sized infinity scarf (or cowl) that’s light yet cozy and will keep you warm and brighten your days until spring!  This was worked using a classic V-stitch, crocheted in the round.  For added bulk, use 2 strands of yarn held together.

If you’d like to sell items from this pattern or share it with your friends, I just ask that you give credit back to One Dog Woof.  Please do not repost or re-distribute the pattern in its entirety.  Thanks!

Update:  I made some minor corrections after some questions came up.  There’s a round of sc before the V-stitches start.  Then the number of V-stitch rounds is optional.  I used 6, but you can work up as many or as little as you want.

At this point, count your stitches and make sure you still have the same number you started with.

Round 3:  Ch 3. Work 1 dc into next ch-1 sp.  *Skip 2 st.  Work (dc, ch 1, dc) in next ch-1 sp.  Repeat from * around. Skip 1 st, then join with a sl st into 2nd chain of round. – 99 sts

    Good Morning ChiWei, I can crochet, but it has been a long time since I have made anything, so I think this cowl type scarf would be perfect. I am going to give it a go, I will let you know how I get on.
    Best Wishes

    It’s gorgeous, ChiWei – I LOVE these cowls. It saves me from having to figure out the most stylish way to wrap my scarf, LOL! We have full-on winter here this morning, the first “real” snow of the winter, so this would have been cute and handy this morning!! Blech!

  3. Kirsten Thompson

    This is beautiful – and what a great color to perk up the winter wardrobe! I have never learned to crochet but might need to try my hand at it. Happy Monday!

  4. Rox

    That color is fantastic!I haven’t crocheted in awhile. Makes me want to do it again soon 😉

  5. Chiwei @ One Dog Woof

    Oooh, have fun! I’d love to see yours when you are done!

  6. Chiwei @ One Dog Woof

    Thank you Kirsten! I’ll be having a crochet-along in a few weeks, if you’d care to join and learn with us. Have a great week!

  7. Gen @ Color Me Domestic

    I decided yesterday I was going to make myself an infinity scarf, cuz I’m tired of the added bulkyness of a normal scarf under my coat. So your pattern comes in at the right time. I think this smaller one will be better than the full infinity scarf you have, but which do you prefer? Now to get some yarn!

  8. meet.make.laugh.

    I love the look of V-stitch, and find it a relaxing crochet! Your cowl looks lovely!

  9. Crystal

    It’s beautiful! Wish I knew how to crochet. Love it!!

  12. Hanni

    This pink color is so cool, spice up a regular winter outfit! I love your pattern!

  13. Tracy Joyner

    I LOVE it! I’m hosting a CAL right now using the Calm Cowl pattern by Suzana Davidovic so I was especially interested in your cowl. I love that it is made using a bulky yarn.

  21. Kadie

    Hi once done where do we post picture of finished cowl thanks Kathy

  23. Chiwei @ One Dog Woof

    Hi Kathy! You can post pictures on a blog, or Flickr or a Picasa website or Instagram or Pinterest, anywhere that can be publicly accessible, so when you share it at the link party, everyone else can see what you made.

  24. Heather Harmsen

    I am on row 2. Wondering what stich to do v stitch in. Chain space or dc?

  25. Chiwei @ One Dog Woof

    Thanks Heather – actually, I reviewed the pattern and missed one round of sc. And the V stitch is in the chain space. Thanks for the great catch!

  26. June K

    Beautiful. I have to learn to crochet.

  27. manhart

    I am almost done with mine, and would love to make some fingerless gloves or hat (or both) with the same yarn. Do you have any ideas or patterns that you think are good?

  29. manhart

    Great. Looks like just what I was thinking of!! Thanks!!

  30. Susi

    Once you join into back ridge of chain should you be sc in the front or back of the chain. Sorry new to crochet and I’d like to get this right.

  31. Unknown

    I was wondering the same thing.

  32. Schulz Family

    Help, I am wondering if I am a bit thick. But what is sc? the first round after the chain. I cannot find anyone else asking the question so I think somewhere I have missed it. Thanks so much. karen http://www.madewithmytwohands.blogspot.com

  33. Garden Chef

    I like this! Got you from Sewing Barefoot’s link at Diana’s pin me link party. Pinned this, too!

  34. M.J. Powell

    This is beautiful. I really should make me one too.
    Our party is live today, and we would like to invite you to link up and share this: http://thebusybhive.blogspot.com/ We would really appreciate it.
    Hope you have a great day!
    Thank!
    The Busy Bee’s,
    Myrna and Joye.

  35. Kateful

    I crochet in the front of the chain. It gives it a slight twist but I think that’s what makes this cowl so perfect.

  36. Emily

    I was wondering if this could be worked up with an N hook instead of M. For some odd reason, I have everything but an M and I’m too lazy to go buy one unless I really need to. Or could this be worked up with just one strand of yarn using like an H or J?

    Thanks
    Emily

  37. ChiWei

    Sure, you can use any size hook really – you just have to adjust yarn and gauge. The difference between an M and an N isn’t big enough to noticeably change the outcome. Working with 1 strand of yarn may make the scarf too small to be cozy, but it’s definitely doable!

  38. Emily

    Thanks!

  39. Sara

    I am wondering if each row of vstitch goes into the middle of th v stitch in the previous row? Or does it go into horne top of a dc?

  40. Sara

    I must have been half asleep last night! The answer is in round three! Sorry!

  41. Lynne ONeil

    I’m just getting into crochet and think this looks like a good first “real” project for me. You say two balls of worsted weight yarn. Can you expand on that with yardage or weight? I’m finding the amount of yarn needed for things to be the biggest mystery for me so far! Many thanks in advance!

  42. ericka

    I loved the way mine came out using this pattern was seriously quick easy and soo cute! Thank you! Keep em comin!

  43. ChiWei

    You betcha! Stay tuned! 🙂

  44. Molly

    I have made a few different cowls, but my first row is always too tight. When I get finished all the rows look great, but the first row sucks the rest of them towards it. I hope my description makes sense. The only thing I can think, is that I make the first 99 stitches too tight? Any advice would be greatly appreciated 🙂

  45. ChiWei

    Hi Molly, That happens to me a lot too. I force myself to make the foundation chain really loose. Sometimes, I use a larger hook to make the chain, and then switch to the correct hook for the rest of the piece. I also rip out the first couple of rows, a lot, once I realize I made my chain too tightly, so yup, you’re not alone there!

  46. Michelle

    Have you ever thought about making a how to video. I would love to make this scarf but can’t figure out what exactly to do by reading a pattern. Would love to see it! 🙂

  47. ChiWei

    I’ve been told I should do videos, but to be super honest, I don’t like the sound of my voice, lol. So I’ve always shied away from video. If I do venture into the deep water that is video, I will definitely share it!

  48. naomi

    I am almost finished with the cowl – coming out great! (present for my sister) Mine is definitley not as long as in the picture. Is it because this is the smaller size? Or is it because I am using a K hook or crocheting too tightly?
    Thank you! Fabulous pattern:)

  49. Antimmons

    Needing some help. I chain the 99. Make the sc row which is ch 1 and 99sc. Join to the ch1 and make a double crochet in that same join. Skip two sts…..then when I could to the end of that row I have 3 sc left before the join to start on the next row when there so be two sc. Any idea what I might be doing right?

  50. Antimmons

    * I do chain the 3 then make a double crochet in the same st. That’s all worked in the join.

  51. ChiWei

    If you have 3 stitches left, then maybe not crochet in the same stitch when you begin the round? I’m sorry I can’t help more.

  52. Elaine Williams

    Hi, I have just started your end of Winter Infinity scarf and I love the pattern. I have just started Round 3 and I am unsure whether I do the V stitch where it says “dc ch1 dc into the ch 1 space” which is the bigger space made from previous round where I skipped 2 stitches or the smaller space just under the ch 1 as they are both located close together. I have been doing the V stitch into the bigger space lower down – is this right? Please reply before I go any further. Thank you for sharing this pattern, I have made this scarf longer and I have 163 stitches and made it using a light grey bulky Bernat yarn and size 9 hook. Thanks again!

  53. Sala Aparador

    Thanks for any other informative website.

    The place else could I get that type of information written in such a perfect approach?

    I’ve a project that I am simply now running on, and I have
    been at the glance out for such information.

  54. Teeth Braces in Dubai

    Great post. I wass checking constantly this weblog and I am inspired!
    Extremely helpful info specially the remaining part 🙂 I deal with such nfo much.
    I was looking for thhis particular information for a verfy lengthy time.
    Thanks and best oof luck.

  55. Camille

    I am fairly new to crochet, as I’ve only made one scarf and it was definitely not perfect 🙄
    I like this pattern a lot, and think I have the just of it, but would benefit from some photos…
    Thank you!
