Taupe Infinity Scarf

Well here it is—the matching infinity scarf to the Taupe Slouch Hat—just as promised!

This scarf came out unbelievably well and matches the hat perfectly, in my honest opinion. It’s made with Caron Simply Soft in Taupe and it is super squishy and oh so soft! The exact type of accessory that I would love to wrap around myself when it’s cold outside. The last thing anyone wants to deal with when they’re trying to fight off a chill is a scratchy scarf! Yuck.

Taupe Infinity Scarf

When I made the slouch hat, I had found a stitch pattern in The Complete Book of Crochet Stitch Designs for the posts and shells stitch that has a beautiful openwork style. Not too open, though, which would allow too much cold air through. There were so many choices in the book, 500 to be exact! It was difficult to choose, but I had seen this stitch combination in other people’s projects and I wanted to try it out.

I was so happy with the hat that I felt the need to make a scarf that was an undeniable match.

The posts and shells stitch is super simple and I’ve included detailed written instructions in the pattern for the front post double crochet and shell stitches. The bands of trim around the posts and shells is the back side of the half double crochet stitch. In the pattern, you will have to flip the scarf inside out to work it so that the stitches have that sweet detail of lines running through the bands. Nothing too difficult.

Taupe Infinity Scarf

Believe it or not, this taupe infinity scarf took less than one skein of yarn. It actually came out to five and half ounces of the six ounces in a skein. Perfect!

So grab a skein or two of that special yarn you’ve been eyeing up at the store and make this Taupe Infinity Scarf. Don’t forget the matching hat if you are as obsessed with sets as I am! LOL!
