Carmencita Easy Crochet Infinity Scarf

The Carmencita Infinity Scarf is an easy crochet infinity scarf pattern designed to match the Carmencita Bucket Hat. A self-striping bullky yarn makes colorwork easy and it crochets up pretty quickly, too.

After finishing up the Carmencita Bucket Hat pattern, I knew I’d have to make a matching scarf. I just loved working with the King Cole Hedgerow Chunky yarn (available at your local yarn shop or online at Wool Warehouse UK) and I still had more than two skeins left.

For my version of this easy crochet infinity scarf, I combined the colorway I used for the hat (5845 Wildberry) with 5841 Thicket. You could make your version in one colorway, though. In spite of the name, the Carmencita Infinity Scarf is a gender-neutral design. You could get a very different look by changing up the color choices.

• For my version, I used 5841 Thicket for the foundation chain through the first 4.5” (11.5 cm) of the scarf, then changed to 5845 Wildberry for 2” (5 cm), then continued Thicket until I finished the skein, and then changed to Wildberry again. I changed colors at the slip stitch join at the end of the round.
