I have been toying with the idea of doing a horizontally-striped crochet scarf for a while now. What has kept me from it is the idea of weaving in ALL those ends… one of my least favorite tasks! But when I fell in love with a rugby-style knit scarf at the store a while back, I knew I needed to try it, just to see if it really would be as much of a pain as I envisioned.

I’m so glad I did!

I had my then-16 year old sis Jenny (above) in mind when I picked out the yarn for my first rugby scarf. I chose Hobby Lobby’s “I Love This Yarn” (my favorite yarn!) in a light grey and white. She’s not one for boring accessories, so I took a chance and switched the plain white yarn for White Sparkle (same brand). It’s basically white yarn with one strand of shiny silver running through it.

This was the first time I’ve used a sparkle yarn, as I think it can become gaudy looking very quick. But I was pretty confident that this style of scarf and amount of “sparkle” would work perfectly to produce a classy, unique accessory.

Once I had my yarn, I got to work. I started with a chainless foundation of 22 double crochet stitches, but you could also just start with a regular chain. The basic idea is that each segment of color is 7 rows of 22 DC. I ended up with 14 segments total (7 grey, 7 white sparkle), and a great length for a double-wrap infinity scarf. I whip-stitched the ends together; then I got comfy on the couch with my yarn needle and scissors and spent a while weaving in those 28 ends. Not my idea of fun, but it was WORTH IT for the finished product!

The photos don’t really show the sparkle on the white segments, but trust me, it’s there. I LOVE how it turned out. In fact I was so in love with it that I seriously debated keeping it for myself, and probably would have if Christmas wasn’t just right around the corner and I hadn’t been so behind on Christmas presents already!

The next time I went to Hobby Lobby I took a better look at all of the sparkle yarns. My niece Maribel is sporty and loves bright colors, so I decided to make one for her, too. Her favorite color is teal so I grabbed some Peacock Sparkle and plain white, and made another one!

Infinity Rugby Scarf

Hook: H (5.00mm)
Yarn: Worsted Weight (I used Hobby Lobby’s “I Love This Yarn”)
Difficulty: Easy
Gauge: Unimportant (just crochet til it’s the length you want. There’s quite a bit of leeway with a scarf anyway.)

Note: Ch 2 does NOT count as starting DC.

The Pattern

To begin: With Color A, Ch 24. DC in third chain from hook. DC across. (22 DC)
(You can also do a chainless foundation stitch for the first row of 22 DC. If you don’t know how to do this, check out this tutorial. It might change your life.)

Rows 2-7: Ch 2; turn. DC across. (22 DC)

Switch to Color B. Cut yarn from Color A, leaving about a 6″ tail.

Rows 8-14: Ch 2; turn. DC across. (22 DC)

Switch to color A. Cut yarn from Color B, leaving about a 6″ tail.

Repeat this process section by section, 22 DC per row, 7 rows per section, until you have 14 total sections (98 rows), or until the scarf is the length you want it. Cut the last tail of yarn, leaving about 12″ tail. Use tail to Whip Stitch one end of the scarf to the other. Fasten off.

Weave in all those ends, and you’re done. Enjoy your new Rugby Infinity Scarf!

    Wish I had read your comments before starting this project. H hook made my stitches too rigid. Wish I had used an N hook, like you suggested! Don’t like the look of feel of mine.

    The pattern is adorable, but the constant script warning makes it impossible to read. Can you please resist the temptation to play with the newest web toy and just print instructions that we can read?

      I’m sorry you’re having trouble. There is no script warning on my website. If you are having trouble, it could be a problem with your browser or security software. There is also a “print” button located just above the pattern, or you’re welcome to copy & paste for personal use.

    Just finish the scraf, turn out great. It took two days. Do you have a pattern for a matching hat with a pom pom on it.
    Thanks

      I don’t, but it’s just basic DC. If you look up Double Crochet Beanie Pattern on Pinterest, there are lots of free ones that come in all sizes. And I have instructions for pompoms here: http://littlemonkeyscrochet.com/animal-hat-basics-series-pom-poms/

      Good luck!

      I’m not sure what it is that you’re asking. Did you create a pdf with the “print” button?

    About how long would you say the scarf came out to be?
