Today’s free crochet infinity scarf pattern was originally designed to wear to an annual conference for creative bloggers that I used to attend in Salt Lake City, Utah.

I wanted to make an impression on a particular company while I was there, so I decided to choose some bold colors and make myself an accessory for the trip. I found these two vibrant skeins of Red Heart Soft at Michaels, and I was instantly smitten.
I was pretty sure these would stand out! In other great news, apparently turqouise and red are popular colors these days. (You may remember that color was my 2016 word of the year, so I’ve been adding more variety in the colors I use, too.)
Since I didn’t have much time to get the scarf finished before the conference, I decided to choose a quick and simple stitch pattern. This is a one-row repeat stitch pattern, so it’s easy to remember, too. To keep things interesting, I alternated blocks of red, turquoise, and stripes.
I was able to finish it in just a little over one commute to and from work. It’s long enough to wrap around three times, but it’s got some lacy eyelets, too, so it’s a perfect year-round infinity scarf. You can wear it in the air conditioning or on a chilly night in the spring and summer, or wrap it around snugly for colder fall or winter weather.
