Thank you to Lion Brand Yarn for providing the yarn for this sample!
I recently had a chance to sample some Lion’s Pride Woolspun (by Lion Brand Yarn), and boy, was I impressed!
This #5 bulky weight yarn is pretty awesome. Sold exclusively at Michael’s stores, it’s a sturdy yarn that doesn’t split and shows stitch definition very clearly.
I’ve been experimenting with combining some of my favorite stitches and textures, and I’m absolutely thrilled with how this pattern came out!
It’s a double-wrapping scarf, but I think it looks beautiful hanging long, too.
The fringe is optional, but why would you not want it?
And do you want to know the best thing about this pattern?
It has a matching slouch hat!

THE RUSTIC INFINITY FRINGE SCARF
Level: Easy
Size:
Scarf measures 64″ around, and is 7″ wide (not including fringe). These measurements are easily adjustable.
Materials:
- N hook (9.00mm)
- Yarn needle
- Lion’s Pride Woolspun (from Lion Brand), about 400 yards. The color in the photos is Taupe.
*About Lion’s Pride Woolspun:
Weight: #5 Bulky
Fiber: 80% acrylic, 20% wool
Yardage: 100 g (3.5 oz) / 127 yd (116 m) - 4 button embellishments (mine are 1″), plus tools to attach buttons (needle, thread)
Gauge: With N hook, a row of 7HDC = 3″ in length.
Abbreviations Used:
CH (chain)
SK (skip)
SS (slip stitch)
SC (single crochet)
HDC (half double crochet)
DC (double crochet)
SC+DC (this just means to put a single crochet and a double crochet in the same stitch)
Special Terminology:
3rd Loop – Some rows call for the stitches to be completed in the “3rd loop”. When working in turned rows, and after completing a row of HDC, these loops will be visible just below the front loop. So instead of inserting your hook into the top loops, you’ll only insert it into that 3rd loop. This will force the top loops to go to the front of your work, which is how we get the “ribbing” effect. Click here for tutorial.
Notes:
(1) This pattern is written in American Standard terms.
(2) The buttons are just a decorative embellishment (non-functional).

To begin:
Using N Hook, and leaving a 12″ tail, CH151.
Row 1: SC+DC in 3rd CH from hook. (SK next ST, SC+DC in next ST) across. (150)
Row 2: CH1, turn. SK 1st ST, SC+DC in next ST. (SK next ST, SC+DC in next ST) across. (150)
Row 3: CH1, turn. SK 1st ST, SC+DC in next ST. (SK next ST, SC+DC in next ST) across. (150)
Row 4: CH1, turn. SK 1st ST. HDC in each of the next 148 STS. 2HDC in last ST. (150)
Row 5: CH1, turn. Working in 3rd loops, SK 1st ST, SC+DC in next ST. (SK next ST, SC+DC in next ST) across. (150)
Rows 6-16: Repeat Rows 2-5, in order, until you have 16 total rows (you will end with a repeat of Row 4). (150)
Edging
We are going to put an edging on only one end of the scarf (it isn’t necessary anywhere else). So, with your hook in the same place you left off on Row 16, CH 1. SC into the same ST again to turn the corner to the short end of the scarf. SC evenly along the edge, putting 4SC in between each ribbing row. When you get to the end of the short edge, finish it off with a CH1 and a SL ST into the same ST as your last SC. Fasten off and weave in your ends.
Fringe
We need to cut approximately 75 pieces of yarn for the fringe. Find a sturdy, thin object in your home that measures somewhere between 8-10″. I used my 9″ cutting board and it worked perfectly! Here’s how you make fringe (the numbers correspond to the photos below):
1. Wrap the yarn around the cutting board about 40 times (this will give us a little wiggle room). Wrap it snug, but don’t wrap it crazy-tight. Try to be consistent.
2. Take a good pair of scissors and carefully cut the yarn right down the center of the pile.
3. You now have a pile of yarn approximately 18″ long. Very carefully, fold it in half and cut at the halfway point again. You should now have about 80 strands of yarn.
4. Start at one end of the scarf, on the side where you began the pattern (the CH151 side). Using a crochet hook and one strand of yarn, find the first stitch. Fold the yarn in half and use the hook to pull it halfway through the space created by that first stitch. The two ends of the strand should be poking out the front of the entry point.
5. Remove your hook and insert the two ends of the strand through the loop.
6. Pull tight.
7. Continue down the scarf, adding fringe to every other stitch. This will be easy to spot, because when you did your SC+DCs, they created little spaces. Use the photo for a visual.
Button Embellishments
Use your needle and thread to attach the 4 buttons to the front of the short end of the scarf (the one that has the edging!).
Seaming
To make this an infinity scarf, we’re going to attach the ends together. Instead of doing a normal seam (where the first row is joined to the last row), we are going to overlap the edge with the buttons over the other end by about 1-2″. This will give the illusion that the buttons are holding it closed. You can use a needle and thread to sew along the edge. (I sewed the bottom layer to the underside of the top layer so that it didn’t disrupt the look of the top piece, because I’m not very good at sewing.) You could also use a sturdy fabric glue, but be sure it’s machine-washable!
That’s it, folks! I was pleasantly surprised at how stunning these stitches looked incorporated into a chunky scarf, and I hope you love it as much as I do!
Pouvez vous me envoyer les modèle du bonnet merci

Love this pattern ! Making them for Christmas.
Thank you so much for the tutorial for the fringe scarf. I wanted to make something special for my granddaughters and I found the scarf and hat on pinterest and I had to try it. You made it easy for anyone to make the scarf. Wish you had a tutorial for the hat. Keep up the great job you are doing to spread your talent on crocheting. Thanks Again!
The hat is worked flat just like the scarf. I didn’t think a separate tutorial was necessary. If you give it a try, you might be surprised at how easy it is after you’ve done the scarf. 🙂
Does this have to be an infinity scarf? I would like to actually be able to use the buttons to hold it together…should give different wearing styles.Yoyr advice…I haven’t crocheted in more 40 years.
Hi Maureen, the buttons are decorative only; not functional. The scarf is sewn together at the end. If you wanted to make the buttons functional, you would need to add button holes in the appropriate places, and skip the seaming step at the end.
your designs are soooooooooooooo cute!
Thank you! <3
Hi… I have been looking at this pattern for a while and only hesitant because I would like to make it in two colours… Perhaps even the edging and the ribbon in between. Any suggestions?
I think you’ll never know if you don’t try! 🙂
I love your patterrn for the scarf and can’t wait to start one. Thank you so much for sharing.
I am wondering where you found the buttons? I can’t find them at Michael’s or Amazon? Any suggestions?
I think they were from Hobby Lobby, which means they’re probably exclusive to there.
I just love this darling hat and scarf pattern. I’m going to try to make for my granddaughter. Hope it works out. Love it!!! Thanks for the pattern. You are very creative.
Thank you so very much. You are very generous for sharing the pat
tern. It´s a great tutorial anda very easy to understand.
Hi,
I would love it if you have a tutorial for me to see. I think I will probably be able to make it without one, but I just thought I would ask. By the way, this is an absolutely gorgeous scarf and hat. I love love love it!!!
You can find the video tutorial at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xlIXzuDmvYQ
At Michaels they have an N hook (10mm) where did you buy your hook? What other hook would you recommended if I cannot find the 9.00mm (N hook)? Thanks in advance for all your help
It’s been a long time, but I’m guessing it was probably Hobby Lobby. The store doesn’t make a difference; it’s the brand. I think you’ll be fine with a 10mm hook for this pattern since it’s a scarf. If you make the hat, though, and you can’t match gauge with a 10mm, you might have issues with the hat being too big to wear.
Olá! Boa noite! Em primeiro lugar aprecio seus trabalhos são lindos. Eu fiz a gola e gostaria de fazer a boina mas não estou conseguindo só com a receita, você fez um vídeo para fazer a boina? Obrigada.
There is no video tutorial for the hat, I am sorry! It is made very similar to the scarf, however. (via Google Translate)
Não consigo entender como fazer a touca.tem um vídeo explicando Como de faz?
