Why I Love This Tunisian Crochet Infinity Scarf Pattern

This Tunisian crochet infinity scarf showcases everything I adore about this technique: stunning stitch definition, a beautiful woven texture, and the ability to create something unique with just a few basic stitches.

The use of fingering weight yarn gives the scarf a lightweight, airy feel, while the textured stitches provide just the right amount of coziness.

If you’re looking for an easy yet stylish Tunisian crochet project, this pattern is perfect. The width and length can be customized with ease, and the larger hook ensures a soft drape that wraps beautifully every time.

Skill Level

This pattern is ideal if you’ve tried Tunisian crochet before and feel comfortable with stitches like the Tunisian simple stitch (Tss). For those still finding their rhythm, I’ve included written instructions for every special stitch and a comprehensive video tutorial to help you follow along.

You’ll have the chance to practice new stitch techniques like the Tunisian simple stitch 2 together (Tss2tog) and the Tunisian top loop stitch (Ttls), which bring texture and dimension to the scarf. 

Where to Get This Pattern

OK, Let’s Make this Tunisian Crochet Scarf!

1. Gather Your Materials

Yarn

This pattern uses any #1/Fingering weight yarn for a beautifully delicate finish. For the sample, I used WeCrochet Capretta Superwash in Tansy Heather. This luxurious yarn combines fine merino wool, cashmere, and nylon for a soft, warm, and durable scarf with gorgeous stitch definition.

You’ll need approximately 450 yards for a full infinity scarf. If you don’t have this specific yarn, the pattern below lists plenty of alternatives.

Hook Size

Use a 5.5 mm (I-9) Tunisian crochet hook to achieve the perfect balance of texture and drape.

Other Supplies

You’ll also need a pair of scissors as well as a tapestry needle for weaving in your ends. You’ll also need to block your project (this is especially important with Tunisian crochet!) so blocking mats and T-pins are well worth having in your crochet toolkit.

2. Grab Your Pattern

Before starting, I recommend reading through the pattern to familiarize yourself with the steps and stitches. 

Scroll down for the free written pattern, or purchase the ad-free, print-friendly PDF here.

The PDF includes a stitch chart and helpful tips for blocking your scarf. It’s the perfect option if you prefer an easy-to-print version without ads.

Here’s a quick overview of the steps you’ll follow:

• Foundation Row: Chain any multiple of 2 + 2, and work your Tunisian foundation row.
• Main Body: Work the two-row repeat (using the Tss2tog and Ttls) until you reach your desired length.
• Finishing: Bind off with the slip stitch bind-off, block the scarf to your measurements, and seam the short edges together to create a loop.

3. Tips & Tricks

Gauge and Drape

Gauge isn’t absolutely essential for this pattern, your scarf’s final size may vary slightly if you crochet more tightly or loosely than I do.

If the combination of a large hook and fine yarn feels tricky at first, that’s completely normal! Give yourself a little time to get used to it, and you’ll see your tension improve as you get into the rhythm of the pattern.

Customizations

This pattern is so easy to customize! Adjust the width by chaining any multiple of 2 + 2 to start. Simply repeat Rows 2-3 until the scarf reaches your desired length.

Experiment with solids, tonal hand-dyes, or self-striping yarn for unique results!

Blocking Tips

Once your scarf is done, I recommend blocking it to reduce the natural curl often seen in Tunisian crochet, even out any kinks or inconsistencies, and highlight the texture. Blocking also improves the drape of your scarf as it helps to relax the fabric and define the stitches.

The blocking method you use will depend on your yarn fiber. Whichever method you choose, I recommend using a blocking mat and pins to stretch your scarf gently to the desired size, then allow it to dry completely before seaming.

Blocking Method	Ideal for Fibers	Description
Wet Blocking	Animal fibers (wool, alpaca)	Soak the pieces, gently squeeze out the water, and pin them to size.
Steam Blocking	Synthetic fibers (e.g., acrylic)	Hover a steam iron over the fabric without touching, allowing steam to penetrate.
Spray Blocking	Delicate fibers	Pin the pieces first, then spray them with water until damp.

Assembly Tips

For a seamless look, use the mattress stitch to join the ends. Prefer a quicker option? The whip stitch on the wrong side works just as well!
