If you did crochet this, please share a photo on Instagram, I’d love to see it!
Have a lovely day crocheting,
Very lovely! Thanks for the pattern!
Thanks Katie!! 😀
Beautiful scarf, I'm going to try one with a soft 4 strand yarn. I'm hoping to get a more open stitch. I'll share the results when I get done..by that time it might be cold weather again. 🙂
Ohhhh, just what I needed!! Thank You!!
That’s a beautiful scarf! Thank you for the pattern!
Beautiful scarf! Thanks for sharing it with us!
So pretty! I love scarves like this
Thank you! 🙂
This is a very beautiful scarf, but am having a hard time when I turn to start the second row. It said to chain up two and crochet 4 dbl crochets together. I don't understand where to start them.
Neither do I. I find this pattern a bit confusing to understand. A video demonstrating the first few rows would be helpful!
Do you keep the double strand yarn going through the entire pattern
hoooah.. I wanna try it right now..thanks for the article ^^
love it..now I learned a new thing about how to do 4 & 7 Double Crochets Together..:)
Aw that's great! Glad I could be a part of your learning experience 🙂
Hope you're busy having an amazing day crocheting!!
Xx
Hey,
so i dont know if this is normal but I just did rows 1,2&3 and the scarf is very very wavy. doesnt lay fat at all.. normal?
It is a bit wavy, which gives it texture 🙂 But if it's extremely wavy your tension might be a bit too tight.
Xx
what do you mean by this:
crochet 7 double crochets into 7 Double Crochets Together.
i might restart it.
When you crochet 7 double crochets together, it forms 1 stitch. In the following round you need to crochet 7 double crochets into that 1 stitch formed by 7 double crochets together. 🙂
I think this is the Catherine Wheel stitch. Or very similar. When you Google "Catherine Wheel stitch" some very helpful YouTube videos will appear.
Thank you for sharing this pattern–I plan to try it!
I would love to make this for the teacher's at my daughter's school for christmas gift, unfortunately i don't understand the pattern 🙁
What are you having trouble understanding? Maybe I can help 🙂
I would love to make this. However, my first question involves the first step of using two strands of yarn. What happens to the second strand after the first row?
You use 2 strands for the entire project 🙂
What a lovely pattern! I realy gonna try this one.
Thank you so much.
You're welcome, so glad you love it! 🙂
Lovely blog. Stopped by from Tangled Happy. I am your newest follower 🙂
Thank you for your sweet comment! It means a lot to me 🙂
Xx
Thanks for sharing! Pinned and I can't wait to make it!
So glad you like it! 🙂
Beautiful and even more so because you share it with us! Thanks
Gabli
Aww thank you! I love sharing things with you guys 🙂

Hi!
I am starting to make the scarf! Only thing is I am confused on row 3… What do you mean by " *Skip chain 3 space". Does that mean skip 1st space, chain 3? Please let me know, thank you.
It means skip doing ANY stitches in the 3 chains you made in the previous row. Hope this helps 🙂
I had trouble with row three too, but in the comments section this: "When you crochet 7 double crochets together, it forms 1 stitch. In the following round you need to crochet 7 double crochets into that 1 stitch formed by 7 double crochets together. :)" really helped! So the seven crochets go into one stitch….I'm not sure if there is a better way to write that in the directions?
Anyway, thanks so much for the pattern! I love it!
Thanks for your tip! I'll go try to make the pattern a bit easier to understand 🙂
Xx
Beautiful scarf, can't wait to try it! Thanks for sharing the pattern. What US letter size hook did you use? Thanks again
Thank you Andrea! I used a size P hook 🙂
Xx
it looks like you are using two strands of Worsted Weight yarn. Is that right? If not what weight yarn are you using?
Yep, that's correct 🙂
thank you 🙂 love your pattern, I can't wait to crochet it up!
Worsted, Afghan, Aran weight yarns are 10-ply, and DK is 8-ply, as used in this pattern. Ten ply is harder to find in Australia than in the US.
What a gorgeous pattern! Is it written in American or English terms? I really hope my 9.0 hook with really loose tension would do the trick, because I can't seem to find any 10.0 hooks. Oh well. 🙂
Thank you Kalen! 🙂
I'm sure that a 9.00 crochet hook will work just as well, though you might want to add an extra 10 or 20 chains when you start instead of just the 151 chains.
Xx
Row 3 ends with 4DCTOG. I can not start 4 , it makes no sense to me. The edge is not straight but rounded. Is it possible that ros 3 ended incorrectly?
Bernie
When I created this pattern, yes there were rounded edges as I worked on it, but it's like a jigsaw puzzle. Each row fit's into the gaps of the previous row.
Hope this helps in some way! 🙂
I'm having trouble with the second row…after the chain 3 which stitch are you supposed to single crochet into? Should you skip three stitches or go into the stitch right after the 4 double crochets together?
Hi Ashley,
You should skip 3 stitches after chaining 3.
Xx
Olivia, do you also skip 3 stitches when you chain 3 after the 7 double crochets together?
I would love for you to share this (or any of your other great ideas) at the link party going on now at ‘Or so she says …’ We’ve also got a fun “Favorite Things” giveaway going on through tomorrow. Hope to see you there! http://www.oneshetwoshe.com
I just went and linked up the scarf pattern, thank you soo much for thinking of me! 🙂
Xx
I LOVE IT!! I am running to my wool stash to find something suitable so I can start making this ASAP. Thank you so much for the beautiful pattern.
It's almost a shame that we are heading into summer her because I won't be able to wear it for a while!!
Have a fab week.
Leah
Aww I'm so glad that you love it so much! We're heading into summer here too, but there's been some chilly days so I've been able to wear my scarves a few more times before putting them away for summer 🙂
Hope you have a great week too!
Olivia Xx
With row 1, what does chain up one mean? Thanks! Lori
It just means that that chain isn't part of the previous chains, but that it's part of row 1. 🙂
Thanks for linking up! Hope to see some of your great ideas again this week on 'Or so she says …' http://www.oneshetwoshe.com
I think perhaps you left something out. If this is an "infinity" scarf, then it should be twisted 1/2 turn before you sew the ends together. Otherwise you just have a circle, which of course is not an infinity scarf.
Definition: Also known as a circle scarf, an infinity scarf does not have a beginning or an end. It is one continuous, long strip of fabric that can be wrapped around the neck several times.
If you twist it before joining, it then becomes a Mobius scarf. She is correct in calling it an infinity scarf. 🙂
Hello from Belgium! I love this pattern! I have the yarn and the crochet, just need to find some time to do this!
What size of mm hook does it are?
10mm 🙂
Thank you for this beautiful scarf pattern! I really want to try this next time and I hope I understood everything… but I think my english got better during I translated this into german… 😉
Anyway this scarf is a great idea 🙂
I am having a lot of trouble with row 3. Can you explain it in more detail?
Hi Chloe!
When you crochet 7 double crochets together, it forms 1 stitch. In the following round you need to crochet 7 double crochets into that 1 stitch formed by 7 double crochets together. 🙂
Hope this helps!
Is there an exact number of how many stitches there should be when starting each row? I did row one successfully and immediately realized I had no idea where to grab from with my needle for the next row! Lol help! Do I play it by ear?
I'm a knitter by the way, just now relearning how to crochet for the first time since I was a little girl lol
There should be about 151 stitches 🙂
It's great that you're relearning! I started to relearn beginning of this year 🙂
Thanks! I'm getting the hang of it =]
I'm sort of confused on row 2. You say "Repeat from the * all across, making sure to end with 4dctog." But the * is placed at "*ch 3 then crochet 1 sc into each of the next 3 stitches, ch 3. Now crochet 7dctog." To me this says I am only ever doing the 7dctog and never doing the 4dctog…please clarify!
That's because After you chain up 2, you will have 152 stitches.
4dctog
*star to star takes up 16 stitches each time (3+3+3+7=16), and you will do that 9 times*
You will have 4 stitches left over
4 dctog
so 4+16+16+16+16+16+16+16+16+16+4=152
i have the same question that "crnhayes" had, (and i couldn't find your reply to the question)…if it is an infinity scarf, isn't it supposed to be twisted before the ends are joined together? your photos look as though yours was twisted first, but you don't say so in your instructions. could you please clarify this for me?
thanx a lot!
debra
Hi Debra!
I sewed the scarf ends together, and then I twisted it once so that I could wear it 🙂
Definition: Also known as a circle scarf, an infinity scarf does not have a beginning or an end. It is one continuous, long strip of fabric that can be wrapped around the neck several times.
Made this as a Christmas gift for my mom. Thanks for the pattern!
I'm struggling a bit with which yarn to use. I can't find anything that says it is 8ply. Closest was 6, but that seems way bulkier than what you used in the picture.
You can use any bulky yarn, but then you just use 1 strand instead of 2 🙂
When you did the slip stitch, did you still use both strands and the same size hook? I just did and it turned out pretty bulky…other than that, it looks great! Thanks for the pattern!
Yep, I used 2 strands and the same size hook for the whole project 🙂
After you chain up 2 at the beginning of row 2, which stitch do you do the 4dctog?
You start to crochet the 4dctog in the first stitch of that row. The stitch that you chained up from 🙂

This pattern is so cute, i added it to the directory at crochetatplay.com – Megan
Thank you, I just finished this scarf and it's beautiful! The tutorials were very helpful, I taught myself to crochet and am never completely sure I'm doing it right 🙂
Does anyone know how much yarn this takes? I have about 250gms of yarn and I am afraid it isn't enough. I don't want to start and not be able to finish. Thanks
You probably would be able to finish the scarf if you only did 141 chains in the start instead of 151 🙂
This is a beautiful pattern! However I am having trouble with the 4th row. I have started on it and it is really wavy. It doesn't look right to me. I was wondering if you might have any ideas as to what I may be doing wrong. Thanks! 🙂
Hi Amanda!
Some of the rows do look wavy, until you do the following row. The rows complete each other 🙂
Olivia Xx
Alrighty. It just doesn't look right to me. It's like… really wavy and ruffly. I'm afraid I may not be doing it right, but I'm not sure where exactly I'm going wrong. Maybe I am crocheting into the wrong stitches? Or maybe I'm crocheting too loosley or too tightly. I don't know. Thanks anyway! 🙂
I love this pattern and it is very easy to understand. I did rows 1-4 and am now starting back on row 1 again and it just doesn't seem to "fit" with row 4…? am I doing something wrong? When I do the 2 single crochets then skip 3 then do the 7 couble crochets when I go to do the next part its half on the chain 3 from row 4. Is that right? it just looks wrong to me
Hi Haleigh!
That sounds right to me. This scarf has a way of tricking you, on one row you think you've stuffed it up and on the next it looks amazing! Just keep going and see if it looks better then 🙂
Olivia Xx
Hi! Great pattern, thx for sharing.! I am having some trouble w/row 4 :/. Help plz, lol. Do you skip any chains after the chain 3 before you start 7doubles together?
Hi Claudia!
After you've crocheted 3 single crochets, you need to chain 3. Then you need to make your 7double crochets together in the hole or loop where the clumps of double crochets in the previous row where gathered. In the video How To: Crochet 7 Double Crochets together I show this, maybe if you watch t closely you'll understand what I mean 🙂
Ok, will do. Thx
HI Olivia ~
OMGosh… I am reuniting myself with the Art of Crochet again… after some forty years. I am having so much fun… and loving your blog… found you on AllFreeCrochet… (I think… I've been surfin' the web so much)
OKay…
I finally got to the end of row one, correctly, on my third try (aka "the charm")
What I found I was doing wrong was… when I put 7dc in one st… next came "skip 3" which is where I made my mistake all the way across… you see… the first skipped stitch blends into the stitch holding the seven dc's… so… I was actually skipping 4… !!! YaY !!! once I figured out MY ERROR … I have now had success…
Now to row two…
Hi Again ~
Ugh… you are going to giggle at this… so I moved onto row 3… I kept trying to crochet 7dgtog into the 7dctog… and after an hour or more I realized "Valerie ~ You can't read, can you" your direction is to crochet 7dc into the 7dctog hole. I am loving the learning I am grasping with this project… once again… success and it's looking good… : )
Hahaha well practice makes perfect! I'm glad you were able to figure it out!
When you're all done I'd love to see a photo of it if you'd like to post a photo to my facebook page 🙂
Have a great day!
Xx
Hello, on row 2 i was not using the stitches from the 7 double chains and skipping 3 stitches after, is this right? I ended up with 4 dc at the very end but just wanted to make sure im doing it right before i move on to row 3.
Thanks!
That sounds right to me 🙂
Do you have any other videos that will be more explicit as to which stitch you are going into?
I'm so sorry, but no, I don't. Hopefully in the future when I have more time I could make a few more videos 🙂
I don't quite understand what you mean by using two strands of yarn. Do you use two skeins side by side and pull one strand from each?
What I mean is you'll be using 2 skeins at once, side by side. So You'll be crocheting with 1 strand from each skein at all times, thus you'll be crocheting with 2 strands through the entire project 🙂
Hope this helps! Xx
Great pattern, Olivia! Great to have you join the Hookin On Hump Day party :).
Aw thank you Sara!
Hi, I'm actually commenting again because I'm not sure if my comment got through. I was wondering if you could explain the 7 double crochets in one stitch? I'm not sure how to do seven in just one. :/
Hi there!
In the YouTube videos above that I made I explain and show how to do 7 or 4 in one stitch 🙂 Hope this helps!
Oh I understand how to do the 4tog and 7tog, I meant this part was confusing for me: "*Skip 3 chains/stitches then crochet 7 Double Crochets in the next stitch." The part where it says "7 Double Crochets in the next stitch"–do you mean in the next seven stitches?
Hi again!
No I mean 7 Double Crochets in the ONE stitch 🙂
Olivia Xx
Oh okay! But could you somehow teach me how to do that? I have no idea how to double crochet seven times in one stitch. Sorry if I'm being a bother, I would just really love to learn this!
My goodness, I just figured out how to do it. I can't believe I didn't get this before! Thank you so much for your help!!
Oh that's great! I'm so happy you figured it out! 😀
Glad I could help!
Olivia Xx
This is so awesome! Thank you for sharing.
That is a very attractive color. I am so glad that I came across this page. Very well done!
Hi, i wanted to do this pattern. My question is, do u really need to use 2strands or there is an alternative way? Maybe chunkier yarn?
Thank you
Kate
No, you don't need to use 2 strands I just used 2 strands since I live in the country and there isn't a huge selection of bulky yarns.
You could use a 12ply yarn (aka 5 or Bulky).
Hope this helped!
Hi Olivia, thanks a lot for the nice pattern. I was just a bit confused while doing row 2. Do you immediately start in the next stitch after the 'chain 3', every time? Because I did that, and I am unable to do the 4 DC together at the end. There are like 8 or 9 stitches left… I am now thinking I had to skip in between, but I'm not sure.
Thanks,
Kirsten
Hi Kirsten,
I'm so sorry you were confused, but I didn't skip any stitches on row 2.
Olivia
Great, thanks a lot! I'll try again 🙂
Hi Olivia,
This is very beautiful and I'm starting this project next. I watched the two You Tube videos and it looks like you're not doing the 4/7 in ONE stitch, but rather in 4/7 consecutive stitches. Is that only on Row 2 and afterwards you're doing the 4/7 in ONE stitch?
Thanks TONS!
Deb
Hi Olivia!
This scarf is so pretty! I love it.
Quick question!! Will chunky yarn work to make this scarf?
-Anna
Hi Anna,
Yes, chunky yarn will work too.
Hey olivia
I tried the pattern a few times but ws unsuccessful. Do i have to put 7 dc in one stitch or in 7 differennt. And i am having problem with the second row, dont know how to chain 2 and then 4 dc. Plz help me out i love the pattern and dis is my first project
Hey!
On one row you new to crochet 7 DC into one stitch, and in the next row you crochet into 7 different stitches, but you'll be doing those 7 stitches together.
The videos should help that are above 🙂
Olivia
I'm making this right now and wonder if i am doing it too loose… Certain areas are very puffy should i start over and do it tighter or was yours this way?
IT'S MY 7 DCT THAT ARE PUFFY….BUT MY 7 DC IN THE NEXT ROW/SAME STICH IS NOT SO PUFFY………..DID I DO THE 7DCT ROW TOO LOOSE? OR WILL IT EVEN OUT IN THE END?
I'm not sure why it's so puffy. Mine was slightly puffy in some areas, but it evened itself out by the time I was done.
Hi Olivia!
I tried finding my solution withing the other comments but was unsuccessful. I had a question regarding the beginning of the third row, what exactly does "4 double crochets into stitch consisting of 4 Double Crochets Together" mean. Is it following what the first video shows four times? or just once?
Thank you,
Monica N.
Hi Monica,
What that means is that wherever you did 4 double crochets together in the previous row, you'll want to crochet into the section with 4 double crochets.
Hope this helps,
Olivia Xx
Thanks!
I hadn't read the line below the second video so I had no idea where those "four double crochets" came from, but now i got it. Thanks for the quick response, and the pattern, it's gorgeous!
-M.N.
on row 1 it says chain 1 crochet 2 single crochets… does that mean one single crochet in the next two stitches? or two single crochets in the next one stitch?
Sorry i meant on row 4
It means crochet 1 single crochet into the next 2 stitches. 🙂
And does row one mean the same thing? 2 single crochets in the next 2 stitches… Is that one in each or 2 in each stitch?
It means the same thing 🙂
Thank you so much for the pattern and explanation. This may be my next scarf project. Have you ever done this without making it an infinity scarf?
I prefer infinity scarves, so no, I haven't ever made it without making it an infinity scarf 🙂
Hi Oliva
I'm going to work the pattern on the infinity scarf and when I finish I'll send you a picture. Thanks
Thank you so much for the pattern. It turned out beautiful. I try to find beautiful free patterns there are different, and this was definitely one.
hi Olivia, the rows 3 and 4 must repeat to get to 8 inch scarf correct?
or rows 2 and 3?
You need to repeat row 1,2,3,4, and then you need to RE repeat rows 1 and 2.
After reading your blog post i come to my point of view that your blog post idea is look very fresh and unique.
What a beautiful scarf! Thank you for posting!! 🙂

Thank you for the lovely pattern. Could I use Lion Brand Wool Ease worsted weight for this pattern. Would I have to use double strand?
I would love to try this pattern.
ThanksMarie
Worsted weight yarn is 10ply. I would probably still use 2 strands, since I'd only use one strand if it was 14ply (Super Bulky Yarn)
Hope this helps!
Xx
Thank you for the info. I've now learned about "ply" – mfrs should identify "ply" on their labels. I'm excited to start this pattern.
Thanks again.
Hi,
Can you give tutorial how to crochet this scarf step by step? I'm Sorry, I don't speak english very well.
Hi there!
I'd love to help you out, but I don't have the time to make long tutorial videos, or photo filled tutorials. There are lots of great scarf patterns on youtube though! Maybe try checking them out?
Olivia Kent
I have been crocheting for over 15 years and for some reason I can't get through this pattern without my work looking like someone shat all over it. ugh. your pictures are beautiful though. maybe this isn't the pattern for me.
I'm totally with you!! Been crocheting for years also & still can't make the pattern work, particularly from row 3 to row 4. It really doesn't make sense, unless directions are being left out.
I’m on my third attempt at trying to make sense of this pattern, just going to undo the first three rows AGAIN. The advice given here for row three still doesn’t agree with the pattern offered. I officially give up.
Браво! BRAVO!
Hello, I've done all the rows and I'm on the second repeat. When I get to end of row two it says "end with 4dctog. I have a 7 cluster from previous and the 2 sc from previous row. Somehow something is not right. Please help if you can.
Hi Olivia,
I'm finding this pattern pretty easy to follow, but when I finished row two, I had 7 stitches left instead of just 4 to dctog. I saw above that you said you didn't skip any stitches in row two, but did you skip any chains or anything like that? I'm pretty positive I'm doing the stitches correctly because my scarf looks like your picture, I double counted my chains originally, and I ended with two single crochets in row one just like you said, but my stitches are still off. Do you have any idea what I might be doing wrong?
Thanks for any advice you might be able to give me!
Could you tell me what you mean at the very beginning by "chain up 1?" I'm sure it's very simple, but could you explain? Thanks 🙂
It simply means to chain 1. I said the word 'up' with, so people would see it's not part of the base chains, but part of the first row.
Very pretty pattern! I am thinking of using it to make my own scarf but I'm confused by the very beginning where you say "Start of by making a Slip Knot and crocheting 151 Chain Stitches using 2 strands of yarn." but then you only ever seem to use 1 strand of yarn. Why would you use 2 strands in the first row and the chain up to the first row? What do you do with the second strand? I'd love your input so that I can make this! Thanks!
Hello Olivia! I love this pattern but am having a hard time with row 3. When is says "Chain 2, then crochet 4 double crochets into stitch consisting of 4 Double Crochets Together." what exactly does that mean? I seem to have too many stiches?…. Please help!!
Thank you!
I would like to thank you for this beautiful pattern, I fell in love with your design and finally finished it.
I did have a hard time to figure it out, but finally – it is done – Thanks again – it was not your instructions that gave me a hard time, it was my understanding them….
Olivia,
I have been crocheting for years but I can't seem to make this pattern work! Could you please explain (when going from row 3 to row 4) how you can end with 4 dc in row 3, but expect to dc together 7 dc? Where are these 3 other dc supposed to come from? I'm confused, as I've never seen a pattern with these particular conundrums. Can you Help, please? Thank You
Very pretty pattern! I like this!
How nice! I watched your video tutorial and I’m amazed on how you knit the thread. Your scarf is really beautiful; its pattern is great! The color and the pattern are wonderful. Thanks for sharing! How nice if you know how to knit, because you can make your own infinity scarf or anything you want to knit. Glad to visit your site.
Just added your pretty infinity scarf to my lace roundup today…love it!

Hi Olivia! I had a question about this section from Row 3:
*Skip chain 3 space, then crochet 1 single crochet into each of the following 3 stitches. Skip chain 3 space, crochet 7 double crochets into stitch consisting of 7 Double Crochets Together. <- The second "skip chain 3 section" isn't there for me, it's just the stitch made by the 7 double crochet together part from the second row. I'm so lost, it was looking so good until now! Please help! -Liz
You must have missed making the 3 chains in the previous row.
row 2: turn. ch 2. dc4together over (sc, sc, dc, dc), *ch 3, 3 scs, ch 3, dc7tog over (dc, dc, sc, sc, sc, dc, dc)*; repeat from * to * across, ending with dc4tog over (dc, dc, sc, sc)
merci pour tous ces jolis modèles.
If you Only have one crotchet hook, will it still work? (I have a size 8)
Do you turn your work at the end of each row?
Yes, I turn my work after the end of each row. 🙂
At the end of row 3, is there no stitch after the 4dcs in the dc4tog to connect it?? When you turn it to start the next row it leaves little v-shape at the end of row 3.
Just a note….your pattern says….Row 2~ Chain 2, then crochet 4 Double Crochets Together in the same stitch and across the next 3 stitches…I believe it should read 4 stitches not 3.
Mine didn't quite come out like this, but I am happy with how it turned out! Thanks for the pattern! 🙂
Instead of using 2 strands of 8 ply yarn can I just use one strand of a bulky or super-bulky yarn?
Have no idea what I'm doing wrong but this just isn't working for me. Love the looks wish I knew what I was doing wrong
Just made this as a Christmas present for my Mum using a single strand of bulky yarn and a size 6 hook, so I added an extra 4 rows to the pattern. It took a while to get it right, because what you call single and double crochet, I know as double and triple, but once I figured that out the pattern worked great. Thanks for posting it!
cool pattern
After reading all the comments someone finally asked about turning at the end of each row.. But there are no turning chains? AND When in the 2nd row you say…chain 2 (is this then a turn) and what is meant by 4 DCT in same stitch ( got that) but then what is meant by ….across the next 3 stitches? ? What is "across the next 3 stitches"? OR 4 ?? like someone said. Does this take up 7 stitches… 4 together and then 3 something else? Or is that a total of 4 DCT? I pulled out my 2nd row work since it seemed like I forgot something along the way. I think it's confusing not to tell us when to "turn"…to give us a starting point. ? I've been crocheting a long time but don't usually pick too many patterns where you have to think too hard. I might have done that this time. I will try a couple more times. I loved the look and want to make it work for me but leaving it as a scarf. Thank you. Not sure you can answer this but I wonder if someone else can give me their input. Thank you!!!
I thought I would continue to see if this made sense but mine continued to puff up on the seven DC together and was a zig zag …..I thought it looked like you might go between the pattern of sevens on after the two rows….but it never worked that way. It was three SC …three chains …seven DC…. either together or separate depending on the row and if you follow that it is not filling in the zig zag pattern but following it. I am giving up. I got the seven stiches ( both together and separate) , chains and SCs but each row and not between the seven DCs .. keeps it holey were the chains and SC are in each row. I think the pattern needs rewritten. I don't know how some made it work out. I wish you had a video just to solve this problem. I don't usually have trouble making patterns work. It sure doesn't turn out like you pictures. I did four rows and decided this is not going well or right. I re-read the pattern over and over. When you say put the second set of seven stitches in the "hole"….do you mean the stitch that gathers the seven stitches together? It sure sounds that way…but to make a solid fabric they need to go opposite I would think. Regardless, the gathered seven DC tog will not lay out but puff up. I'm using two strands of worsted weight. I can't explain it any better…..sorry. I love the look of the scarf and wish I could figure this out. I can't imagine making the edge work out with the deep zig zags I have…pulling this out. I hate to give up on anything like this! I am replying to my own comment here but can't get my name to appear either. so it looks like I am anonymous? Sandy
Hi an thank you for sharing this pattern. Unfortunately I can't seem to get past the begining of row 2,It says to dc4tog in the 1st 3 stitches, my 3rd dc4tog ends in the 1st stitch of the dc 7 of the previous row and it looks very funny on the end. I'm not sure if I'm doing it right. is there any way you can post a pic of the begining of row 2 so I can see if it is right? thanks in advance 🙂

I can see that I am not the only person having trouble getting into the stitches in row 2. I tried three times and it always began to look like a zig zag and resembled a bra, poofing out. Perhaps review the exact stitches for row two for us? Can you perhaps post a video?
Can I just use one strand of yarn and a smaller hook? Would that work too?
Now, time to get some yarn that suits this beautiful pattern, thanks for sharing. Can´t really wait to start mine 🙂
How can I print the pattern. I don't see a print icon anywhere? Thanks
Is this pattern in U.S or U.K. terms?
Hello,
All my patterns are in US terms.

Hello – thank you for this wonderful pattern. My scarf is looking good so far :-). I have completed rows 1-4 and am starting on row 1 again. I'm finding that after the 2 sc and skip 3 stitches, I'm one stitch out to be in the correct place to complete the wheel – this happens all the way through the row.
I can solve the problem if I chain 4 after the dc7tog on row 4 rather than 3 – does a Catherine wheel stitch include a securing chain, and then I chain 3 more?
Thank you very much!
after you chain 151, you chain 1 then single crochet in the same stitch? I don't understand this. what stich am I suppose to single crochet in?
Thank you for the beautiful pattern 🙂 I featured it on my blog: http://www.colorfulcanary.com/2015/11/10-free-cozy-crochet-infinity-scarf.html
I am using a smaller hook with one stand of yarn. I made the beginning chain 65 inches long. Will this make the scarf as long as it needs to be?
This is a beautiful pattern, thanks for sharing it!

I have had no problem with this pattern, it is really pretty, but some others seem to be. Maybe you could create a YouTube video demonstrating the making of this scarf? It would be helpful if you showed how to put it on as well.
Looking forward to your next pattern…
Olivia,
It seems that my crochet skills are not as up to par as others. I am having trouble with this pattern. I have no problem performing the crochet 4 together and crochet 7 together, but I ran into issues on row 3. Can you consider making a crochet video for rows 1-4?
Thank you Olivia for sharing this pattern. I loved making it so much I immediately made a second one as a gift. You are so patient with all the questions people have and your video tutorials were extremely helpful. I look forward to making more of your patterns.

Love all of your patterns! They're so beautiful. Thank you for sharing.
Very cute!! Thank you!
So, this was interesting…. Started & restarted 3 times before finally queing up the video tutorial and found out that a whole row (after chaining 150, chaining 1 & turning) of single crochet all the way across was left out of the printed instructions! So all the row numbering in the printed pattern was off and no wonder I had problems! All fixed now and sailing through the pattern. Had to re-write & re-print for further project work.
I love this pattern! Made 3 scarves!
Very nice! Looks very gentle but no less seductive! I like them ^ _ ^ And I also believe that my wife will like them more than me!
Hello,
Can you please advise, If I was going to try and make this scarf with 8 ply, what size hook would I need, and how many chains to start?
TIA.
