Pretty Chunky Crochet Scarf Pattern

Today’s pattern is the quintessential fall and winter crochet project, a chunky scarf pattern! 

This cozy scarf is so easy to whip up, and it makes a great gift. It’s also a comfy, wonderful way to use a couple of skeins of left over super bulky yarn from last year’s projects.

I’ve been enjoying so many large projects like blankets that the blog has gotten very “blanket heavy”! However, I still LOVE a quick project like this scarf, so I’m thrilled to share it today. Do you like the quick, instant gratification projects too? Lol

Green Chunky Crochet Infinity Scarf Pattern 2

I love the way infinity scarves fit around the neck, so I find the design to be really practical and also cute! 

The stitch pattern here is beginner friendly, but it looks more complicated than a basic single crochet stitch.

It uses the lemon peel stitch, which is one of my very favorite crochet stitches.  You might remember that I used it for my Chunky Icelandic Crochet Throw Blanket

 The texture is squishy, warm, pretty AND the pattern simple, simple!

What Yarn Do I Use to Crochet A Chunky Scarf?

To make this chunky scarf, you’ll want to grab a couple of skeins of super bulky #6 yarn. You can use any yarn that you like, in any fiber (wool or acrylic, etc.) To get the chunky look, you just need the big yarn and big hook! My fave big yarns for scarves like this are Lion Brand Wool Ease Thick & Quick or Lion Brand Hometown USA.

Many of you know me as a neutral and white fan, but I’ve gotten more excited about color the last couple of years! Green happens to be my favorite color of all, even if I don’t use it a ton in my knit and crochet projects.

But how about this fun BRIGHT green? Ha! When I saw this Loops & Thread yarn in “Sweet Grass” a while back I figured this would be a fun color to “brave”.  Green is fun to wear in order to add some pizazz to neutral jackets and cold weather gear.

And just so you know, it’s been a while since I got this yarn, so if you can’t find it, you can definitely substitute with any super bulky yarn that you like. (As I mentioned earlier, Lion Brand has great options)

Is It A Quick Scarf To Crochet?

This is definitely a quick scarf to crochet! Everyone is different, but you can easily make this in a day. It’s a refreshing break to be able to make something so quickly! Sometimes when I’m working on a big project like a blanket, I like to make something little in between just so I can feel accomplished.

How Do I Crochet this Chunky Scarf?

You can see the full, detailed pattern below, but in people terms, here’s how it will work! You will start with a short chain that will be the beginning of your scarf. From there, follow the simple stitch pattern and you’ll work from the beginning to the end of the scarf.

The beautiful texture of the lemon peel stitch will show up after a few rows. Once you’ve reached your desired length, you will tie off your work. Lastly, place the two ends together and seam them up! This creates the infinity scarf look, rather than the classic scarf look.

Okay! Shall we get to this pattern?!

Crochet Infinity Scarf Pattern

You will need:

2 skeins of Super Bulky Yarn (6) like Lion Brand Wool Ease Thick & Quick HERE

(I used Loops & Threads Cozy Wool Yarn (found at Michaels) in Sweet Grass but it may be discontinued)

US Size N 10.0 mm hook

Tapestry Needle to weave in ends

Scissors

Explanation: This scarf is made with the lemon peel stitch which is done with a series of single crochet and double crochet stitches.  It is a simple pattern that creates a lovely, squishy texture!

Gauge is unimportant.

Scarf Measures approximately 60” long before joining at the seams to create the infinity scarf.

You should be familiar with single crochet and double crochet stitches.

Abbreviations:

ch – chain

st- stitch

sc – single crochet

dc – double crochet

Pattern:

Ch 12

Row 1  Sc in 2nd ch from hook, sc in each stitch across, ch1, turn (11 sc stitches)

Row 2  Sc in 1st 2 stitches, * dc in next st, sc in next st, repeat from * to last st, sc in last st, ch 1, turn.

Row 3 Sc in 1st st, *dc in next st, sc in next st, repeat from * across, ch 1, turn

Repeat rows 2 & 3 until piece measures 60” long  (*it’s possible that if your gauge is a bit different than mine you may finish your second skein just before you reach 60”)

Tie off and leave a length of yarn in order to seam the two ends together.  You may use any seaming method that you prefer. A simple whip stitch works well. (If you use the whip stitch, simply thread your tapestry needle and seam both ends together, working the needle and yarn through the fabric of both ends, joining them together. Tie off and weave in the yarn. )

Who here is ready for fall and winter? I definitely am ready, although I know starting about February I will be itching for summer.  The winter is just a wee bit too long around here.  It definitely allows for a lot of time to knit and crochet a bunch of cozy things though.  🙂
