Introducing the Gentle Embrace Infinity Scarf Crochet Pattern
Crafted using three colors of Lion Brand Basic Stitch worsted weight yarn, you can really see the texture and stitches pop. I wouldn’t normally put navy, blush, and sea-green together as a color combination but I am totally in LOVE with how they play together and I think a matching hat or ear warmer would really complete this look for fall and winter.
If you loved making the Gentle Embrace Preemie Blanket last month for the Preemie Crochet Challenge, you are going to be excited to see the same stitch combination used here, but with color changes. I can’t decide which version – solid or multi-color – that I like better.
The stitches used are very beginner-friendly, including single crochet and double crochet, and the front post treble crochet. My favorite part is that you will have minimal tails to weave in because you can carry the yarn up the seam as you go.
I do have a video tutorial below to show you how I do that, or you can make this as a regular scarf in rows. Just cut your yarn at the end, which does mean you’ll have more tails to weave in, but you can either leave it long or seam it together. Make whichever option you prefer!
