Pattern Description:
This Cozy Infinity Scarf is a textured, stylish winter accessory, perfect for nature walks or cozy indoor wear. Worked flat along the long edge, it begins and ends with Single Crochet (SC) rows.
The scarf’s width is formed by a six-row repeat that alternates SC and Half Double Crochet (HDC) sections, creating a subtle ridged texture.
A special Back Bump HDC (BBHDC) adds depth, while the scarf is finished as an infinity loop using the Locking Mattress Stitch. Soft, warm, and elegant, it’s ideal for gifting or everyday wear.
