Easy Infinity Scarf Crochet Pattern for Beginners

I just finished reading through Maplewood Road’s Easy Infinity Scarf Crochet Pattern and I have to say, it’s a winner for both beginners and seasoned crocheters alike. The design uses the Even Moss Stitch—a rhythmic mix of slip stitches and half-double crochets—that gives the scarf a soft, textured look without being overly complicated. I love that the pattern is flexible: you can easily adjust the length and width by changing your starting chain or row count.

The tutorial is laid out in a way that feels approachable, with clear instructions, photos, and even a video for extra guidance. Using a worsted weight yarn (Red Heart Super Saver Jumbo in Grey Heather was suggested), the finished scarf measures about 60″ x 7″, just the right size to wrap twice for that cozy infinity look.

What really shines here is the practicality. This scarf is quick to work up—perfect for a weekend project—and makes an excellent gift. Infinity scarves are one-size-fits-all, so there’s no worrying about fit, and the continuous loop style means no ends falling loose when you’re out braving chilly weather.

If you’ve been searching for a beginner-friendly project that still feels polished and stylish, this pattern is worth bookmarking. It’s cozy, modern, and satisfying to whip up in just a couple of evenings. A definite go-to for anyone who loves functional crochet pieces with timeless appeal

If you love colourful granny squares, vintage-inspired crochet and anything designed by Lori Holt, the new Granny Square Along Crochet Book deserves a spot on your wish list.

This is Lori Holt’s first crochet book, inspired by the granny squares her grandmother taught her to make. Inside are 13 creative granny square crochet projects, all presented in Lori’s wonderfully cheerful, scrappy style. Expect plenty of colourful cushions, bags, blankets and useful accessories that make the most of those little squares we can never resist making.

The spiral-bound format is a practical touch because the book should sit flat beside you while you crochet. Partial crochet diagrams are also included alongside the written instructions.

This book is best for confident beginners and intermediate crocheters. You should already understand basic crochet stitches, including chains, single crochet, half double crochet, double crochet, treble crochet and slip stitches.

Most projects use Lori Holt’s #2-weight Chunky Thread with a 3.5 mm crochet hook, although some designs worked with two strands require a 4.5 mm hook.

What I love most is the book’s nostalgic, collected-over-time look. It is colourful without being garish and scrappy without looking as though every leftover yarn ball was thrown at it in a moment of desperation. The finished projects have that cozy handmade charm Lori Holt does so well.

The book is expected to ship in September 2026. The current reservation requires a $1.50 non-refundable fee, with the remaining preorder price charged when the book ships.
