The Herringbone Infinity Scarf is a free crochet pattern in one of my favorite stitches. I love the look of the color blocking and this stitch adds so much texture to the scarf. It works up quickly and is one of those patterns that you can make on autopilot.

It’s a versatile pattern and easy to adjust the size and gauge. This is a very attractive scarf and looks great in a solid or variegated yarn.

Notes:  This infinity scarf is worked in the back loops only when making the herringbone stitch, placing the Hhdc stitch in the chain 1 space from the previous row.  It gives one side a textured look and the other side a smoother finish.  Do not turn your work, always keeping the right side facing you.  This stitch count will use up most of your skeins, if you make it longer or wider, you will need 2 skeins of each color.
