Free Crochet pattern – Spring is in the Air Infinity Scarf
Spring is in the Air and this infinity scarf is the perfect accessory!
The bitterly cold winds coming off the North Sea are starting to warm up. The sun is fighting its way through the clouds. Crocuses and snowdrops are starting to bloom!
With Christmas and Valentines over, the children back to school and routines once again established we start to look towards Mothers Day here in the UK and Easter.
But, we still need those transitional accessories to help get us from winter into spring and summer and then from the cooler end of summer to autumn.
My model here, Lyndsey, was such a good sport to model for these photos for me! It was a rather nippy February day when those North Sea winds were trying to compete with the sunshine. Don’t worry – I treated her to lunch afterwards … and she claimed the infinity scarf!
A great infinity scarf
That its why this infinity scarf is so great! It is made with a 5mm hook and #3 (DK) weight yarn. It is lightweight and works up quickly.
Yarn used:
Stylecraft Batik Swirl in colour Meadow was perfect for my scarf. The colours in this and the transitions were so beautiful that I didn’t need to add much to the design as the yarn did all of the talking. There is a whopping 601 yards in these skeins!
It isn’t the first time I have used this yarn. And I have never been disappointed with it.
Stitches used my Spring is in the Air Infinity Scarf
If you have knowledge of the basic stitches then you can make this infinity scarf! There is the 3DcCl (3 double crochet cluster) in this one. However, if you are confident with the double crochet I have some video tutorials on how to do this one on my YouTube channel.(See below for the video’s.)

How to crochet the 3DcCl
The 3DcCl is worked like a DC3Tog but it is worked all in one stitch instead of over 3 sts.
*YO, insert hook into sts to be worked, YO and pull through, YO and pull through the first 2 loops on your hook. * Rep from * to * twice more. YO pull through all 4 four loops on your hook.
