Diamond Dot Infinity Scarf
Hello! This is Kathy Olivarez, the designer behind Kathy’s Crochet Closet. I’m excited to be back on the Clover Blog with a new crochet project: the Diamond Dot Infinity Scarf!
I love using geometric shapes in my designs, and the diamond might be my favorite. It’s not surprising that the raised dots in this scarf are forming little diamond shapes! The dots are made with simple cluster stitches and the rest of the scarf is just double crochet and single crochet. Such a fun and easy scarf to make!
The yarn I used for this project is Loops & Threads Charisma, a bulky weight yarn that comes in lots of colors. The hook is my favorite Clover Amour hook in the size M/N 9mm. This hook feels so good in your hand and the yarn just glides! The finished infinity scarf measures 60” around and 7.5” wide and wraps twice around your neck for a cozy cloud of warmth. Let’s get started!
