How to crochet an infinity scarf or cowl: 20 Free Patterns

The first pattern in the list of how to crochet an infinity scarf was designed with the wattle stitch.

The Autumn Crunch Cowl is not a chunky accessory, so it is the perfect one to keep your neck warm and cozy while enjoying a cup of latte by the fireplace.

Check the Pine Tree Crochet’s website for more pictures with other color combinations. I love that zig zag effect; it will sure be beautiful with any yarn color you pick.

Let’s start by mentioning how beautiful and squishy that yarn looks!? The Blake Cowl is another lightweight cowl piece that you will love.

The simple stitches used make it a beginner friendly pattern, yet the fingering weight yarn and the beautiful colors make it look so elegant and stylish. What a great design by Hooked Hazel.

Yet another super elegant accessory for your wardrobe collection. The Ice Drop Cowl pattern has a beautiful texture to it and, not to mention, it calls for bulky yarn! So, it’s a super quick project to make.

Another thing that I love about this pattern is that it is a two-row repeat only, what makes it even easier to make.

Rebecca Velasquez is the designer behind this beautiful pattern.

Here is a beautiful pattern that’s also full of bonus: The Easy Breezy Cowl is size inclusive and it’s friendly for beginners. And there is more, you will get to make a beanie to match your cowl.

Here is another pattern that comes with a matching accessory. With the Picot Me Up set you will make a Cowl and an Earwarmer.

The stitch that The Loopy Land used to design this pattern was the picot single crochet stitch. That stich gives the design a light and beautiful texture with tiny bobbles.

The worsted weight yarn makes it a good suit for the cool spring/fall temperatures.

What a fun and unique pattern the Ribbed Granny Stitch Cowl is. I love the granny stitches details that Eye Love Knots created along with the tall, ribbed cowl that can be folded down.

Or you could pull it over your face to protect you from the windy and colder weather. It’s another quick and easy project, it only takes one skein of worsted weight yarn.

If you are looking for extra warmth and a pop of texture, then The Pumpkin Spice Cowl is the project for you.

The bulky texture of the puff stitches makes it look so cozy and squishy, perfect for the colder temperatures of winter.

Pair it with the Pumpkin Spice Beanie that you will find on Rich Textures Crochet’s blog as well.

Yet another versatile design and, not mention, how beautiful that ombre yarn is! The Bobble Row Cowl was designed with two stitches: bobbles and the herringbone half double crochet.

If you aren’t familiar with those stitches, Sweet Bee Crochet have included a quick tutorial for them in the pattern.

It is a very fun project and it’s adjustable to any size of your preference.

Do you want more fun and beautiful textures? You’ve got that. What about a twist? You got that too, just like the ones you see on crochet headbands.

Here is another one skein project that you will love to make. The Glowing Seas Cowl was created by Three Fates Creations.

The yarn she used was a blend of wool and silk worsted weight, so it makes it warm enough to wear in those cool spring/fall days. But light enough to make you feel elegant and comfortable.

It looks like knitting, but it is Tunisian crochet! RaffamusaDesigns described The Tunisian Concept cowl as the softest thing she has ever crocheted.

She used merino wool to crochet it, so that explains where the softness came from. Not to mention the cables on that design, they brought this piece to a life of elegance.

Her pattern has a lot of pictures for you to follow, check it out.

Wait… did someone say cables? I love cables! Let’s face it that it is not easy to accomplish that look with crochet as much as it is with knitting.

But A Crochet Simplicity killed it with those big cables in the Big Bold Cabled Cowl, I love how wide they are. Cables are the king in this beautiful pattern here.

And it’s another cowl that you can pair with a nice slouch hat that has the same design style.

If you are looking for a quick and super chunky project that you can finish in around an hour, then the Chaucer Twist Cowl is the one for you.

Let’s start by mentioning how gorgeous that fringe looks? It was just the perfect add on to this project.

Briana K Designs created the Pumpkin Hooded Cowl pattern using bulky yarn. However, if you don’t have bulky yarn in your stash, she has a video tutorial showing you how to create bulky yarn from one light weight skein.
