UPDATE: My scarves are now for sale on Etsy! Check out my shop and buy a custom or pre-made scarf by me!
First time I'm showing my face on here! So, I really like this scarf. It was super quick to make and a twist on normal scarves! I got the idea from a pin from the blog Baby Night Night Crafts.
I didn't make a pictured tutorial for this one but I will tell you the pattern is:
Start with some chain stitches
(depends on your desired length) I have a loose stitch so I believe I made around 60-100
Double crochet back onto the chain
Repeat for a total of five rows of double crochets(not including chain)
x3
Take your three "mini scarves" and braid them together (I braided them rather loosely!)Then sew your ends to make it an infinity and you're all set! I want to try three different colors next!
That is so cute!! I'm trying it tomorrow!
ReplyDeleteWonderful! Let me know how it goes :)
DeleteMy yarn has been waiting for this. thank you so much for posting. (PS- you have a beautiful face :) )
DeleteThis is wonderful! I'm going to try it!

DeleteStarted mine this evening and it is SO easy! Cannot wait for the finished product!
DeleteThis is just gorgeous! One of the members of my crochet group made this with variegated yarn and it looks absolutely stunning. It's been so popular in the group (we have 14k members, lol) that I've added a link to your pattern in Ravelry. (You've been correctly credited). Just lovely. xoox
DeleteLove it! Going to make it. Thanks for sharing!!:))
DeleteI've made 4 of these and am having fun. I like that your pattern is simple and can be changed to make it mine. I"ve made on that is variegated and differnet texture yarns. Thank you. I am going to try your other pattern this week too.
DeleteI made mine with Green, Purple, and white - very pretty!
Deletei love it. thank you for sharing . will start mine today.
DeleteI have my three minis made. Do I need to block? When I braid it looks messy. Do you need to keep them flat while braiding?
DeleteThat is so cute, must try.
DeleteJust made this scarf this week. It is so easy to do...can make up in a few hours, but it looks so complicated when worn. Everyone at my crochet class was very impressed!
DeleteADORABLE! When are you opening an Etsy shop so we can place our orders? :-)
ReplyDeleteLove it! I saw the original pin and wasn't sure what size hook or weight of yarn. What did you use?
ReplyDeleteali @ www.40tasks.blogspot.com
Hi! Thank you :) I used "I Love This Yarn", the acrylic soft kind (I'll link a full description below). And I used a 5.5mm aluminum hook.

Kristi...how many skeins of yarn did you use? 1 or 2? Or more?
DeleteThis is a very, very late reply, but may help others as well. I used just one skein of I Love This Yarn (approx 350 yards I believe)
DeleteVery cute! can not wait to make one : )
ReplyDeleteIf and when you make one post a link to it here, I'd love to see! :)
DeleteI really like this scarf, and it's so simple, i can't wait to try this. and pass it on to others
ReplyDeleteThank you! Happy crocheting!
DeleteI made this scarf in 3 different colors love it!
ReplyDelete:)
DeleteHow did you sew the ends together? ( getting back into crochting)
ReplyDeleteI just connect the ends together with loops. It's sort of hard to explain because it is so simple. I hope to make a video of how I do it in the future. In the mean time I'm sure there are similar videos on youtube of great ways to do it :)
Deletedo you overlap the 3 mini's or connect them as 3 separate ones?
DeleteDo you put the 3 mini scarves side by side and sew them that way or do you stack the 3 ends up and then sew them together.
DeleteIm trying to get the "desired length" and I started with a chain of 80, I'm done one mini scarf and it looks short, should I got ahead hoping it will seem longer later or if its tight should I start over with a longer chain?
ReplyDeleteAny advice from those of you who tried, love this scarf though! Thanks
Keep in mind the scarf will shrink based on how tightly you braid the strands together! If you want a loose braid, like mine, it will only "shrink" about 6 inches or so. so lay the miniscarf around your neck and subtract 6 inches and see what you think!
DeleteHi, I'm just learning to crochet and was wondering why it will shrink. Am I supposed to wash the scarf after the ends are sewed together? Or will it just shrink naturally after time?
DeleteThanks, Rachel
How are the ends connected.
ReplyDeleteAnd how many twists or braids to get it to look like yours.
Monica
I did a very loose braid. I don't think it was more than 5 twists, but just experiment :) None will look exactly the same because of yarn thickness, length, crochet technique, etc. That's what makes this so unique :)
DeleteLove this cute pattern! Some aides at my church found this pattern on Pinterest and wanted to know if I could teach them to make this...none of them know how to crochet. I came home to try it out...I mixed colors...2colors per mini scarf...a little funky...but it's cute!
ReplyDeleteI used Vanna's Choice and a 5.5 hook and went up to 90 ch at beg and it's still too small. I must crochet much tighter than you...I'll either try with bulky weight next time or chain more at beg.
Such a cute pattern! Thank you for sharing!!
Thanks so much for the comment! I am so happy to see people are enjoying this scarf so much! If you and your friends at church would like to post pictures in a comment I would love to see them!
Deleteyes, I crochet somewhat loosely because I go very fast, and I find it easily to buzz right along with larger loops haha. but that is not to say it would look very cute with a tighter stitch! I would love to see it shorter as well :)
having a hard time connecting the ends to look right pleas help some on :)
DeleteHow many skeins of yarn
DeleteMade this last night with three different shades of purple I had left over from Christmas gifts. The yarn was Lion Brand Hometown USA, pretty chunky stuff and I used a "P" hook. I struggled with keeping the braid and connecting the ends. I'm going to keep experimenting, thanks so much for sharing!
ReplyDeleteSounds lovely! Thanks for the comment :) Happy Crocheting
DeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
DeleteJust a thought, but you could hold the ends together with stitch markers or large safety pins so you don't have to fight with keeping the braid together. I just found this and haven't tried it yet, but I think that might work. I bet the purple is super cute. :D
DeleteI love this! working on one right now :)
ReplyDeleteThanks! Let me know how it turns out :)
DeleteI made it two different colours and i love it! Can't wait to wear it
DeleteWhat size crochet hook did you use and what kind of yarn?
ReplyDeleteShe said she used a 5.5 hook, which I believe is an I hook and she used the I love this yarn which is a very soft worsted weight.
DeleteI just paid a lady on etsy $5 for this. Dang Nab it!
ReplyDeleteWould love to know the yarn and size of hook. Heading to town later today and would love to pick up supplies!!! LOL.
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing! Two thumbs up :-)
ReplyDeleteWould you consider sharing a pic of where the ends are connected? I'm having trouble picturing that part. Love how quick and easy it seems?
ReplyDeleteI would love to see the seam as well... I want to make these for christmas presents :-)
ReplyDeleteI'm not getting it from your directions.. :(
ReplyDeleteI think you mean chain 160, there's no way that can be only 60 stitches long using a 5.5 hook, unless you're working with SUPER chunky yarn. I'm working on mine now, and made it 160 stitches using medium weight Lion Brand Vanna's Choice. Otherwise it's a great pattern! I'm thinking of attaching the seams using a large satin ribbon bow in the corner.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely NOT 160. I did 160 as you mentioned and it was so long it has to be doubled to be worn! No more than 90-100 to give the length she has shown.
DeleteDefinitely NOT 160. I made it with 160 as suggested and it is so long it has to be doubled to be worn. No more than 90-100 to get the length shown with 5.5 hook!
DeleteThe 160 and 60 makes a little more sense to me too. I just chained 60 and I don't think it would even fit my daughter. :) Thanks for figuring out the pattern though. I love the original too. You did a great job Kristi!
ReplyDeleteWith mine, I looked at the picture and did 120 on each side (blue) and white down the middle. Might use 160 next time. When it was all braided, it was not long enough to wrap around the neck. Love the scarf!! Thank you!!
ReplyDeleteUsing your suggestions I just finished the scarf in purple. So pretty. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteMarvelous! Can I have the pattern?
ReplyDeleteLove it, it is great!!
ReplyDeletemy Granddaughter will love this....trying it as soon as my other 3 projects are done...lol
ReplyDeleteI love this! How many skeins of yarn?
ReplyDeleteNow a wee problem! Is this American Double Crochet? I am from Northern Ireland so I think maybe we call this Treble Crochet!!! Also how much yarn do we require?
ReplyDeleteI finished this a couple of days ago. Yes, our double crochet is your treble crochet. (http://crochet.about.com/od/conversioncharts/a/termtranslate.htm) If you use the same color for all three "strands" of the scarf, it will only take one 7 oz/200g skein. If you use more than one color, you will only need one skein of each. Hope that helps.
DeleteI finished the three "mini" scarves ... getting ready to braid and sew them! I used double stranded yellow on baby yellow ... soft and pretty ... I used one good sized "ball" of yarn each. :)
ReplyDeleteI plan on making one using the colors from the 3 colleges my boys go to: purple, green, and blue. Thanks for the great idea!

ReplyDeleteMade this last night.. needs some improvements but off to a great start. TY
How many ounces of yarn did this take? I'm not sure how much of a 'ball' is. :/ I have 2 ounces of a tiny ball of yarn and I'm trying to make good use of it. I'm also going shopping for yarn tonight and I want to try and make this. Wanna make sure I have enough yarn to make more than one! thanks in advance!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great scarf! Many, many thanks for posting this! :). :)

Finished my first one. Used an "I"/5.5mm hook and Red Heart SuperSaver yarn. Thanks for the pattern. Pic of finished scarf is here: http://www.pinterest.com/pin/215750638372432232
ReplyDeleteThis is an awesome scarf! I don't crochet but I might try a to knit something similar. I thought you might want to know that I posted your scarf on my blog in a post showing some of my favorite pins.(With credit to you of course)
ReplyDeleteCan you please tell me what kind of yarn you used, what weight? I love this scarf - beautiful job!
ReplyDeleteI just found my answer looking thru all the posts - thx!
ReplyDeleteAnyone care to share how many skeins it takes?
ReplyDeleteThe most fun-to-make scarf I've seen in a long time. Can't wait to try it!!! Keep up your good suggestions. I love how you answer questions as they come in
ReplyDelete- that helps all of us!! :)
Thanks for sharing this post! Though you didn’t share how to make this scarf, you shared the pattern of it, thanks to you. However, I am hoping that you will share photo tutorial for this pattern. Looking forward to it! Thanks.
ReplyDeleteJust finished my 3 mini scarves and struggling with the braid....likely will struggle with the joining as well ( my second project ever...b very much a beginner. ...any video tutorials or picture tutorials yet?
ReplyDeleteI just made one. It's perfect for the fall weather. I even used a similar yellow color. I loved the way it looked with my green sweater :)
ReplyDeleteI'm a newbie crocheter too! This is really beautiful!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! I'm going to make one tomorrow!
ReplyDeleteHow many skeins of yarn
ReplyDeleteI'm excited to make this for a Christmas present!
ReplyDeleteHow do you connect the ends so it is not bulky?
ReplyDeleteGoing to try this tomorrow! Such a pretty scarf.
ReplyDeleteI am working on one right now. Can't wait to see how it comes out. I am using MN Vikings football colors. :D
ReplyDeleteI found this a couple weeks ago - THANK YOU!! for leaving it up!! Made my sis one for Christmas using 3 colors each mini scarf (red, smokey gray & black) -- i just hadta try! But wrapped the colors around so one color's in the middle then 2rounds of the next and 2 rounds of the final - each is different middle color! I used Heartland medium worsted and 150 chain at the beginning, but will use more chain next time as this will not wrap around the neck again =) ... But not sure it should either!
ReplyDeleteTHANK YOU!! Now to figure out sewing the ends....!
How do we braid the 3mini scarfs together ,i am having trouble
ReplyDeleteI found that using safety pins at the ends when you are ready to join works well. Then just use the same color wool of each piece to whip stitch together with a darning needle. Then I tacked all three pieces together at the back of the neck to hold them all in place.
ReplyDeletehow much is it? can you ship it to Indonesia?
ReplyDeletethx
Hi is your video coming out with that
