Easy Crochet Scarf Patterns
Work up any one of these quick and easy crochet scarves. These easy crochet scarf patterns can be completed in just a few hours (or even minutes!) using one or two skeins of yarn. It's amazing how simple it is to work up one of these crochet scarves that can pull together any outfit for a special date night, day at work, or drinks with friends.
These crochet scarves differ from infinity scarves in that they aren't seamed at the ends to form a loop. Because of this, you can style your crochet scarves however you want. Use one solid color to create an everyday accessory, or add multiple colors to brighten up your look. You can even add fringe to the ends for a fun on-trend look.Â
I love this deliciously chunky scarf. By using bulky yarn and an easy, repetitive stitch pattern, this is one fast crochet scarf to make!

BONUS! How to Block a Crochet Scarf
Now that you're done with your work, you're probably wondering how to care for your crochet project. Should you wash it? How? Well, for the most part, unless your yarn labels specifically say hand wash, you should be able to machine wash your work to clean it. But before you go about wearing your new design, you'll want to block your work to make sure it isn't curling or uneven. You can either wet block, cold block or dry block, and you can find specific information at our tutorial on how to block a crochet pattern, but the basics are the same:
- For wash blocking only, wash your project first.
 - Spread out your project either on a bed, some towels, a rug or a blocking board.
 - Work around the project and, using rust-proof pins, pin your project in place.
 - Make sure the pinned project reflects how you want your work to end up looking: keep your edges straight!
 - If wash blocking, let dry completely. If dry blocking, use a steamer or iron around your work to relax and set your work. If cold blocking, mist your project with a spray bottle until your work is wet.
For a more detailed tutorial of the blocking process and to download this handy blocking infographic, be sure to read How to Block Crochet.

If the infinity scarf is the right size for me, I love them. But I hate when I can only wrap it around my head once and then have a lot but not enough to wrap again a second time.

Infinity scarves are great. With 19 featured here in this post, there is bound to be one to suit everyones needs. They are a very versatile fashion accessory as they can go with almost any outfit from casual to business to formal. Most are very easy to make and dont take a lot of time to complete.

I love infinity scarves. They can dress up an outfit or look great with jeans. I like the way they can fit close to the neck on cold days or hang loss. They are easy to make, too. I especially like the Mossy infinity scarf.

I don't like scarves, cowls or infinity scarves. I don't even know what an infinity scarf is.

So far, traditional scarves have me. But I have not yet experimented with the other forms of scarf. I like making all of them. These patterns entice me.

I love nice thick cowls, because I can wear them around my neck, or wear them as a stretchy mini-skirt over leggings - 2 for 1!

I love making all 3, but cowls are so snuggely warm. My sister was almost strangled when her scarf got caught in the snowmobile track.

I prefer conventional scarves. Infinity scarves and cowls are claustrophobic for the family members I crochet for, as well as for me. I want a versatile single-strip scarf I can creatively arrange.

It's hard to choose between scarves infinity scarves. Both have their merits. I think I get more use out of scarves, but what is an infinity scarf but a regular scarf with the ends sewn together!

Scarves are my fave, and I have a lot, because you can never have too many, especially when they are very soft very warm!

I have way too many scarves in my closet and I absolutely love infinity scarves, because they are very easy to accessorize with, and they can give the effect of a beautiful piece of jewelry. I have scarves in many colors and I often give them away or exchange with friends.
