Materials Needed
- Yarn: Sublime Evie Prints yarn used in the tutorial; shade 564 recommended, but you can use any preferred yarn.
- Hook size: 5 mm crochet hook.
- Additional tools: Scissors and a yarn needle for weaving in ends.
Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Starting the Foundation Chain
- Create a Slip Knot: Wrap the yarn around your finger, cross the loop over the tail end, slide your hook through, and pull tight.
- Chain 34 stitches: Yarn over and pull through for each chain. This forms your starting foundation chain.
2. First Row: Foundation Pattern
- Begin with the 7th chain from the hook: Count six chains, then place your hook into the 7th chain.
- Start with a treble crochet: Yarn over, insert hook, pull up a loop (three loops on the hook). Yarn over again, pull through two loops, then yarn over and pull through the remaining two loops.
- Create a shell pattern: Work 5 treble crochets into the same chain space.
- Skip 2 stitches and place a treble crochet into the next stitch. Repeat the following steps:
- Skip 2 stitches.
- Work 5 treble crochets into the next chain space.
- Skip 2 stitches and place 1 treble crochet in the next stitch.
- Continue the pattern until reaching the end of the foundation chain. End with one treble crochet in the last chain.
3. Second Row
- Chain 3 stitches to begin.
- Locate the middle treble stitch (3rd treble from the 5-treble shell below).
- Work 5 treble crochets into the middle treble stitch.
- Place 1 treble crochet into the single treble stitch from the previous row.
- Alternate between the middle stitch of the shell and the single treble crochet as you move across the row.
- Repeat this one-row pattern until you reach the desired length for your scarf.
4. Adding Edging to the Scarf (Optional)
- For a flat scarf, create a straight edge on the top and bottom.
- Work a row of single crochet stitches (UK: double crochet) along the top edge.
- Chain 2, slip stitch into the middle of the shell, and repeat this sequence across the row.
5. Joining the Edges for Infinity Scarf
- Align the starting and ending edges flat, ensuring no twist in the scarf.
- Slip stitch to join the corners:
- Chain 1 or 2, insert your hook through the corner stitches of both edges, and slip stitch to attach both layers.
- Alternate between chain 2 and slip stitching into matching sections (e.g., middle treble stitches and single treble stitches) of both edges.
- Continue slip stitching across until both edges are fully joined.
Conclusion
The shell stitch infinity scarf is visually captivating, easy to create, and versatile for different seasons depending on the yarn used. Its seamless design ensures minimal visible join marks, creating a polished look. Once complete, weave in all ends neatly. This scarf is a great way to showcase both texture and style, making it an excellent addition to your accessory collection or a thoughtful handmade gift.
