Bevvy Infinity Scarf

Bevvy Infinity Scarf by Alicia LaFontaine

What is Being Made

The Bevvy Infinity Scarf is an easy-to-make circular scarf designed by Alicia LaFontaine for CatScratchCrafts. This infinity scarf features a finished circumference of 65 inches with a width of 7.5 inches across (measuring 30 inches in length when laid flat). The design creates a continuous loop that can be worn wrapped around the neck multiple times or styled in various ways.

Craft and Techniques

This project is created using crochet, making it an ideal choice for beginners. The pattern is worked in the round without turning at the end of any round, which simplifies the construction process and eliminates the need to manage turn chains. This continuous circular method creates a seamless, professional-looking finished piece.

The pattern includes helpful customization options for both length and width. The length around the circumference may be adjusted by adding or subtracting multiples of 4 stitches to the initial chain, with each additional 4 stitches adding approximately 1 inch to the total circumference. The width across can be modified by adding or subtracting repeats of Rounds 5-8 between Rounds 9-24, allowing crafters to personalize the scarf to their preferences.

Stitches Used

The Bevvy Infinity Scarf utilizes double crochet stitches as the primary stitch throughout the pattern. An important pattern note specifies that chain-2 (ch-2) does not count as a stitch, which affects how stitches are counted and worked within each round.

Materials and Tools

• Approximately 650 yards of light worsted weight yarn (the pattern features Herrschners Pastry Puff yarn in Blueberry, though any light worsted weight yarn in your fiber of choice may be substituted)
• Size US-I 9/5.50mm crochet hook
• Scissors for cutting yarn
• Tapestry needle for weaving in ends

Yarn Weight and Gauge

This pattern calls for light worsted weight yarn, also known as aran weight yarn. The gauge is 1 inch equals 4 double crochet stitches and 2 rows, which helps ensure the finished scarf meets the intended dimensions. The total yardage requirement of approximately 650 yards makes this an efficient project that doesn't require excessive yarn quantities.

Difficulty Level

Rated as a beginner project, the Bevvy Infinity Scarf is accessible to crocheters new to the craft. The straightforward stitch pattern, simple construction method of working in continuous rounds, and clear pattern instructions make this an excellent introduction to creating wearable accessories.
