Hello! There is a pattern set at Caron's main website, which doesn't have the link on my printed pattern, but I'm assuming it is:
http://www.caron.comThe pattern is called "Her Infinity & His Fringed Christmas Cactus Scarves." They used Dark Sage (green) and Autumn Red for her infinity scarf and a K-10 (6.5mm) hook for her pattern. His scarf has a fringe and it's Tunisian Crochet. They look very pretty for a couple to wear as a set, if "your" man-intended is "into" scarves. My man is not.
I came across 1 infinity scarf at Ravelry, designed by Kathleen Rogers. It's in Aran weight (knitted worsted medium weight) yarn, the 2 skeins are used crocheted together with a crochet "P" size hook. It's such an easy pattern to follow and to also tailor to fit your own needs.
The basic is holding the yarn double, ch 78, sl st, wihtout twisting, ch 1. Do 1 sc in each ch st around, join, ch-1. The pattern for rounds 2 - 3 are plain sc around, join, ch-1. Round 4 is sc in back loop around, join, ch-1. Then you repeat rows 5-6 copying rows 2 - 3, then row 7 is that sc in back loop around again. You follow this until the last round 12 when you sc in back loop around, join, join yarn to base of foundation round and sl st around the front loop, fasten off, work in ends. You can block it if you want to, too.
MY idea is how versatile this pattern is!
You could come up with these possibilities:
1- You could do HDC
2- You could do DC and alternate with SC rows
3- You could do SC, HDC, and DC alternating.
4- You could make the scarf wider if you wanted.
5- Or make it narrower.
6- You could take some ribbon, to crochet through it, for contrast.
7- You could make a great big rose, attach it, to "fancy it up" and make it more feminine.
8- You could do something drastic, like Treble crochet followed by SC.
The ideas are endless, actually!
There also was one using an "N" crochet hook, where they did ch-67, skip 2 ch, hdc into 3rd ch from the hook and hdc to the end, turned, and ch2, hdc into each hdc to end, turn, and just go 10 rows and take a twist at the end, join the two short ends together, to make a mobius infinity scarf. They made it in striped colors and variegated, it's very feminine and very pretty. Here, too, you could let your imagination reign
making your scarf wider or narrower, too.
Every single year, it seems like I do hot pads, potholders, hanging dishtowels, etc...
But I have some older friends who walk, so the 2-strand infinity scarf would be good for them to tuck into their coat at the neck, to keep warm. I think they'd go quickly, to crochet, because they're done with the thick hook. I'm putting my thinking cap on.
Happy Crafting, Knitting, Crocheting, Sewing, Drawing, Painting, etc... to all of you! Have a great Holiday Season and enjoy creating. It's relaxing, for me, at least. The finished products are always worthwhile to see, too. I'm off to do some afghan edging and then it's time to make a "Mario" and a "Luigi" caps for the youngest 2 grandsons. I'll slowly plug along at it until I'm done. I'm taking my time, so not to stress out or overwhelm myself. I'm enjoying each baby step along the creative pathway as I journey through the holidays. Who knows? I may even make myself something special to wear, too.
