The Chunky Ribbed Infinity Scarf is great practice for your Half Double Crochet stitch, but working in the back loops only (BLO) gives it a more interesting surface and adds visual depth.

THE PATTERN
To begin: Ch 83.
Round 1: HDC in 2nd chain from hook. HDC across. Bring ends together, being careful not to twist the chain. Join with a slip stitch to the top of the first HDC.
(You can also do a chainless foundation stitch (FHDC) for the first row of 82 HDC. If you don’t know how to do this, check out this tutorial. It will change your life. Be sure to join the FHDC, and don’t twist it in the meantime.)
Round 2: Ch1, turn. In BLO (Back Loops Only), HDC around. Join with a slip stitch to the top of the first HDC.
Rounds 3-10 (or until scarf is about 8″ wide): Ch1, turn. In BLO, HDC around. Join with a slip stitch to the top of the first HDC.
Fasten off and weave in ends.
