This infinity scarf crochet pattern by Anniken Allis is light, airy and so soft against the skin, worked in a luxurious alpaca and silk yarn from DROPS. The eight-row repeat forms an incredible geometric pattern that looks almost like argyle, and it’s nowhere near as complicated as it looks. Using chains, trebles and double crochet stitches, just repeat the eight rows as set below as if you were working a scarf, and then join the two ends together.
You will need
DROPS Baby Alpaca Silk (70% alpaca/30% silk, 167m/50g) or alternative 4ply yarn - 4 balls in Light Sea Green (shade 19)
Measurements
26 x 168cm (10¼ x 66in) before joining
Tension
13 sts and 9.5 rows to 10cm (4in) square over stitch pattern after blocking, using a 4mm (UK 8, US G/6) hook. Exact tension is not essential but will affect finished size and amount of yarn used.
