Harlow Infinity

Harlow Infinity Crochet Scarf by Tricia Dodge

What Is Being Made

The Harlow Infinity is an advanced crochet scarf pattern designed by Tricia Dodge of Cuddlepie Crochet. This downloadable PDF pattern creates an infinity-style scarf, a versatile accessory that loops around the neck without requiring a clasp or tie.

Crochet Techniques and Construction

This advanced-level pattern employs strategic color work and multi-hook construction to achieve its finished design. The pattern utilizes a two-color technique, incorporating both a main color and a contrast color throughout the piece. A key construction detail involves working contrast color rows from the front of the work exclusively, which creates intentional visual effects and texture variation.

The pattern incorporates a practical finishing method: contrast color rows are worked with extended yarn tails of 6 inches at both the beginning and end. Rather than weaving these ends into the fabric, they are repurposed as fringe, eliminating the need for additional finishing steps and creating an integrated decorative element.

Stitches and Stitch Techniques

The pattern uses fundamental crochet stitches with specific notation conventions. Chain stitches (ch) are employed throughout, with the pattern note that ch 3 always counts as a stitch in the pattern instructions, while ch 1 does not count as a stitch. This distinction is important for accurate stitch counting and row construction.

Materials and Tools Required

Yarn: The pattern calls for Deborah Norville Everyday Worsted weight yarn. You will need two skeins of your chosen main color and one skein of a contrasting color.

Hooks and Notions: Two different crochet hook sizes are used in this pattern. A J (6.0mm) hook is used for the body of the scarf, while an I (5.5mm) hook is used for edging and finishing work. A tapestry needle is required for weaving in any remaining yarn ends.

Gauge

The pattern specifies a gauge of rows 1-4 measuring 2 inches in length and 3 inches in width. Achieving proper gauge is essential for creating a scarf of the intended finished dimensions.
