Last Fall I created a pillow pattern for Hobby Lobby, and the whole time I was working on the pattern, I knew it needed to be made into a wearable pattern as well. I’ve been having a lot of fun lately with using the most basic stitches in new and interesting ways, and I love the stitch pattern on the Autumn Boho Pillow.

So, I’ve used it to make a scarf and cowl! The Anya Infinity Scarf pattern is below, and you can find the Anya Cowl right here.

These patterns definitely fall into the “looks-more-complicated-than-it-really-is” category. The reality is, the design on them is achieved purely through creative use of a single crochet stitch. So if you can single crochet, and you’re good at following directions, you can tackle this pattern with no hesitation.

Terms and Abbreviations:

ST/STS (stitch/stitches)
SL ST (slip stitch)
CH (chain)
SC (single crochet)
SC SPIKE STITCH (single crochet spike stitch; see “Special Stitch”, below)

Special Stitch:

SC SPIKE STITCH – Instead of inserting your hook into the top loops of a stitch, insert it into the bottom of the stitch where the “V” meets. See photo (click to enlarge):

Notes:
(1) This pattern is written in American Standard Terms.
(2) CHs at the beginning of rows do not count as a stitch in the final stitch count.
(3) There is no stitch multiple for this pattern. If you want to make it longer, add more chains at the beginning. If you want to make it wider, complete the repeated section more times than instructed.
(4) Buttons are decorative, but not functional (they are sewn through both layers of the scarf, joining it together permanently).
