Liana Cup Cozy - Free Pattern

I recently purchased some amazing hand dyed yarn from my friend Liana. She has a small business called Wearable Personality, and she makes some amazing yarn. I had been eyeing her gorgeous yarn for a while, and finally treated myself to a skein of Winter Berry on bulky. I made myself a hat and instantly fell in love! You can purchase the hat pattern on my Ravelry.

I had a little bit of yarn left over and could not bring myself to just store it away in my stash. And that is how the Liana Cup Cozy pattern was born! You can find the free cozy pattern below, or you can download the free pdf by clicking the button below.

Crochet Chunky Infinity Scarf - Free Crochet Pattern

I ended 2019 with a free pattern, and I figured I would start 2020 with another! Yesterday I shared my Daphne Infinity Scarf knitting pattern. One of my goals for 2020 is to expand my crochet patterns. I have several knitting patterns, but not as many crochet patterns. Today I am taking a step towards that goal and I am sharing my Amy Infinity Scarf crochet pattern.

I first tried crocheting this while holding 2 strands together, but it wasn't draping like I was wanting. It was very stiff. So I tried with just 1 strand, and I really like the soft drape of the scarf. It was snowing while my husband was taking photos, and this scarf was perfect for keeping me warm!

(This post may contain affiliate links. See my full affiliate disclosure here.)

Size:

Finished scarf measures approximately 68-70 inches long, and 6 inches wide. I like to wrap it around my neck twice.

Materials:
Size Q (15.75mm) Crochet Hook
Super Bulky Weight Yarn #6 (Wool Ease Thick & Quick) Approximately 150 yards (about 1.5 skeins)
Scissors
Needle for weaving in ends
Tape Measure – For checking gauge, and length of scarf before finishing off

Gauge:

6 sts in hdc (in 3^rd front loop), 4 rows = 4 inches
Check your gauge and adjust needle size accordingly.

Abbreviations (US Terms):

CH – Chain
HDC – Half Double Crochet
SL ST – Slip Stitch
St(s) – Stitch(es)

Notes:

This scarf is made holding only 1 strand of yarn.
Turning CH(s) do NOT count as a st, unless otherwise stated in pattern.

Tutorials:

HDC in front 3^rd loop: See Photo Tutorial Below

Identify the front 3^rd loop (2 views to help)

Insert hook in the front 3^rd loop (NOT the 2 top loops that are normally worked in)

A ridge will now start forming on the backside of Row 2. 

Instructions:

Using size Q hook and 1 strand of #6 super bulky yarn,

- CH 11

1. HDC in 3^rd CH from hook (the 2 turning CH do NOT count as a st), HDC in remaining CH sts. CH 1, turn. (9 HDC sts)

2. HDC in front 3rd loop in each st across. (see photo tutorial above) CH 1, turn. (9 sts)

- Repeat row 2 until your scarf measures approximately 68-70 inches (or desired length)

- Sew (or SL ST) ends together, I like to put 1 twist in the scarf before sewing.

Finishing:
Weave in any remaining ends.
