FREE Pattern! The V-Stitch Infinity Cowl - The Easy Beginner-Friendly Pattern.

Updated: Apr 1, 2023




I have another pattern to share with you. This is a very easy pattern that uses double crochet and chain stitches to make a beautiful lacy infinity cowl in a pretty colour-changing yarn. The Riot DK yarn I have chosen is available in a wide range of beautiful colours from eye-catching bright and bold combinations to calming neutrals so there's something for everyone.


This is pattern is perfect for absolute beginners who have learned the double crochet stitch and want an easy project to practice their new skills. It isn't just for beginners. The simple one-row repeat is easy to remember and the stitches are worked into chain spaces so there's minimal counting making this the perfect project to relax with.


The yarn is budget friendly and widely available


I'll be offering this as a free photo tutorial on my website and will offer downloadable PDF patterns on Ravelry for a small fee.


I hope you love it as much as I do!



 

V-Stitch Infinity Scarf

Designed by Amanda Phillips - Rainbow Rose Yarn crafts


This pretty V-stitch scarf has a lacy look that works perfectly with the Riot DK colour-changing yarn. The yarn is available in a multitude of beautiful colourways making this scarf the perfect accessory to complement any outfit

This is a quick and simple, beginner-friendly pattern that works up really fast. The stitch uses double crochet and chain stitches so it is perfect for a first project. As the V-stitches are worked into chain spaces there’s minimal counting involved. It is worked flat and seamed so you also have the option to use the pattern for a traditional scarf

The V-Stitch Infinity Scarf is fully customisable so can be made to any width or length and you can use any yarn you like (with the appropriate hook).

Notes

  • V Stitch is a pretty, lacy beginner-friendly crochet stitch.

  • This pattern can be worked in any weight yarn with the appropriate size hook. The recommended hook size is usually given on the yarn label.

  • The scarf can be customised to any width or length. If you make the scarf larger than specified in the pattern or use a different weight yarn, yarn requirements will vary from those given here.

  • A single ball of Riot DK is enough to make a shorter cowl-length scarf.

  • The v-stitch pattern is worked over a multiple of 3.

  • The width of the scarf can be customised by changing the length of the starting chain.

  • The circumference of the scarf can be customised by working fewer or more rows.

  • The scarf is worked lengthwise and seamed to form a loop.

Instructions

Starting chain


chain 39 (ch 39)

(If you crochet tightly, use a slightly bigger hook to make the chain as this will prevent your scarf from puckering)


Row 1 (Right Side)

v-st into 4th ch from hook, *skip 2 ch, v-st into next ch* to last 2 ch, skip ch, dc (12 v-st, 2 dc)


Row 2

ch 3, *V-St into the ch1 sp of the v-st from the row below* repeat to end, dc into the top of the turning ch from the row below (12 v-st, 2dc)


Repeat

Repeat row 2 until your work measures approx 140cm/55 inches or the desired length


Finishing

Fasten off. Cut the yarn leaving a tail at least three times the width of the scarf

Fold the scarf in half so the short ends are together and the scarf isn’t twisted.

Thread the yarn tail into a needle and sew the short ends together. Alternatively, you could use a crochet hook and slip stitch or single crochet across the seam.
