Crochet an infinity scarf with my easy pattern using yarn from your stash.
This free crochet infinity scarf pattern uses front post, back post and treble crochet stitches to create a fabulous texture.
The repetitive stitches make this project suitable for beginners.
I’ve used four shades to give an ombre effect which adds interest. However, you could also use complimentary, compound or square colours.
Wondering if the colours you have in your stash will go together? You’ll get a visual representation using the Adobe Colour Wheel (free). I love using this resource when working with colour!
If you haven’t worked with colour changes before, this pattern for an infinity scarf is a good introduction.

Design Inspiration
The Knitcrate yarn from my subscription box inspired this design.
I wanted to create a scarf with texture and rich fall colours so had a rummage through my yarn stash.
I had 4 x 50g of Vidalana Ambient Worsted from a previous box that I thought would work perfectly to give an ombre effect in this pattern for an infinity scarf.
I knew I didn’t want to use waffle stitch (such a yarn eater!) but I did want front post and back post stitches to create texture.
Sometimes I have to frog/unpick a design because the yarn or texture of the pattern doesn’t give the best drape. As the infinity scarf grew, I knew I’d made the right decision!
Staying with the ice-cream theme (my bucket hat reminded me of Raspberry Ripple!), I’ve named this scarf Neapolitan.

How the pattern is worked
This crochet infinity scarf pattern is an easy two row pattern repeat and is completed in 12 rows.
The foundation row is worked in the back loop only and then alternating rows of front post treble crochet (US double crochet) and back post treble crochet with three trebles in-between each post stitch completes the pattern.
Colour changes take place every third row at the end of the row.
The stitches at the start and end of rows maintains the pattern once the loop is made and sewn together.
To assemble, the scarf is joined together to form a loop by seaming the ends together.
And that’s it! Easy!

Yarn
Vidalana Ambient Worsted is a 100% Peruvian Highland Wool.
Made exclusively for Knitcrate, this yarn is hand wash and dry flat.
Each ball is 100 yards (91 metres) / 50g. This pattern uses 4 balls in these colourways:
- Stipple
- Contraposto
- Dawn Blush
- Titan
YarnSub suggest Wool of the Andes Worsted as a suitable substitute.
Tension/gauge is not critical for this project so you can substitute any Worsted/Aran yarn weight.
Pattern Notes
- Chain 2 counts as a stitch
- The yarn colours are written as Yarn A (Titan), Yarn B (Dawn Blush), Yarn C (Contraposto) and Yarn D (Stipple)
- Colour changes take place on the last pull through of the treble crochet stitch at the end of a row. Photos from my checkered bag pattern will give you a visual on what this looks like
- Colour changes take place at the ends of row 3, 6 and 9
- Once the colour change has taken place, fasten off the previous colour and weave in ends
- One row is front post treble crochet and the next row works back post treble crochet into those stitches to maintain a straight line of ridged stitches
- The post stitches are made around the post of the stitch below so that the stitch being made sits at the front of the work
- The right side of the work is the raised stitches
- Placing a stitch marker at the end of a row will help you to keep a straight edge (browse my crochet tips for other suggestions for using stitch markers)
- Weave in ends as you go
