This post was sponsored by JOANN – My favorite craft store to visit for all my yarn and tools that I use. Also, you can’t resist all their coupons!
I just need a new scarf. Buying a store bought scarf just feels kind of wrong to me.. I either wanted to shop small this year or make one for myself! I am always too worried about designing amigurumi that I forget I can actually write my own pattern for a scarf!
I didn’t want to add all the bells and whistles to this project. I wanted to make this a scarf that the least amount of thinking to create and the more outfits it can match with! This is a VERY simple design a nd I hope you can appreciate its simplicity. No reason to complicate our staple pieces and I think this project does what it intends to!
There’s a lot of creativity and fulfillment from simplicity and JOANN is helping me get a fun project on the hooks! Everything I used in this pattern can be found down below and the yarn I used is actually exclusive to their stores – however, yarns with the same weight will work just as well!
JOANN makes it so easy for me to try different projects with my crochet and I am glad I am not limited. This project was fun to do just because of how easy it is. I was able to watch my shows and movies while I was productive which is always a great feeling. So big thank you from the help of JOANN!
What if I don’t have the time?
With this kind of simple and easy project, time isn’t too much of an issue! Down below are all the different ways you can utilize your time with this fun crochet project. I can’t stress enough how good it feels to be able to enjoy media and create something! Some good times to pick up this mindless and simple project:
- When watching tv / movies
- When socializing
- When listening to music
- During meetings
- During class (this helped me a lot!)
- When waiting for a date or appointment
- In bed before you go to sleep or wake up
These are just some of the times I crochet! Are there other examples I may have missed? Let me know down below in the comments!
Outfit Accessory
For any staples in your wardrobe, you have to have your staples at the ready. And for me, having a scarf is a must in the colder months. I feel naked without one and I think it really brings a n entire outfit together.
This simple project is perfects to match with any outfit because of how basic / simple it is and all that matters is the color you choose! I wear a lot of black so red was a nice pop of color for my wardrobe. I wonder what yours will be! I will be making another one in black for sure to match even more outfits or to switch around.
So where can you find what you need?
You can find every single thing I used for this project from JOANN stores and you will see all of that hyperlinked for you. JOANN is my favorite place to go for materials and the yarn I love the most for amigurumi can be exclusively found there as well.

So here’s what you’ll need:
All the yarns can be substituted with any worsted weight yarn (size 4)
- 2 Skeins in Big Twist (In Deep Red)
Let’s talk about the yarn
Finding the right kind of yarn for a project can be overwhelming and some might even say complicated. For this pattern, any yarn that is listed as a Size 4 will be just fine! I am using a worsted weight Size 4 yarn and the yarn I recommend today is JOANN Big Twist Value yarn.
This choice doesn’t mean you will be getting the same softness as premium yarns such as 100% cotton or bamboo but this yarn is perf3ect for those who want an affordable and budget friendly project. This yarn is at a great price of around $3 (depends where you’re located) and although its so cheap, it has a high quality than most low end yarns. It’s acrylic but does a great job at feeling soft for what it is.

Let’s Begin
Ch 32
Row 1: In the 3rd chain from the hook, Dc. Dc into each stitch across (29)
Dc into each stitch across. You will be left with a total of 29 stitches!
Row 2 – 113: Ch 1, turn. Sc across (29)
You can adjust the length of your scarf simply by adding subtracting rows, it’s up to you if you have another preference. Your work will continue look like this and keep getting longer!
Once you hit the final stitch of your last round, we will now crocheting around our scarf to create a border and make our edging look a bit cleaner.
From your final stitch, ch 2 and turn your work so the edge is facing up.
On the side of your project, Dc into the first stitch (hole).
Continue single crocheting in each stitch (hole) across the side of your project.
Here is how your work will continue looking!
Once you reach the corner stitch of your scarf, Dc into the stitch.
After your first stitch, Dc into t he same stitch two more times. (For a total of 3 Dc in the same corner stitch.
- Continue to single crochet across until the the following corner (2) and Dc x 3 into the same stitch.
- Single crochet along the long side of your project and Dc x 3 into the next corner stitch (3)
- Dc along the next edge, the shorter side, until the next corner and Dc . This will be where you started from!
- Ch 1.
From here, you if you would like to just have a long scarf, you can finish off and weave in your tails for a traditional scarf! This next portion of the pattern will be on how to join both ends to create an infinity scarf.
Joining Both Ends
Be sure you have the “inside of the scarf” facing yourself. Along the border, you’ll be able to tell because it’ll have a raised stitching.
With the opposite end, be sure the entire scarf isn’t twisted. The other end will also have the raised stitching side face up. (You will be flipping this inside out at the end) Insert your hook through both stitches on both ends.
Single crochet into the first stitch.
Single crochet into each stitch on both corresponding ends across.
Once you get to the end, finish off and weave your ends in! And now you just have to flip your scarf so the ribbing from connecting both ends is hidden!
Weave in your ends and now you’re all done!
I hope you love this project as much as I do! I can’t wait to continue to play with this blanket yarn moving forward with more of my JOANN projects. Huge thank you to them for helping me out with this fun pattern and I hope it lights up all of your homes, too.
