How to crochet: Infinity scarf for beginners
In this tutorial, I am going to show you how to crochet an infinity scarf for beginners. This variegated scarf has the loveliest colours and it's such an easy stitch... I made this scarf for my daughter, Rachel, that is why I called this crochet scarf the "Rachel Scarf"
#OpheliaTalksCrochet
yarn used: Cygnet Boho Spirit, Zen colourway

I so enjoyed making this scarf for my daughter. I hope you will find it inspiring enough to make one for yourself. Thanks for visiting my channel. Anja xx

Ich wollte dieses doppelt-V-Muster unbedingt für eine Restedecke haben, wenn ich mit meinen anderen Projekten fertig bin. So ein Glück, dass ich es hier wieder gefunden habe, ich wusste gar nicht mehr, dass es tatsächlich von Dir war, Anja! Der Schal ist wirklich wunderschön, wie auch Deine Tochter! Nach so vielen Jahren gibt es das Cleopatra-Tuch, bei dem mir die Wolle um 5 Maschen nicht gereicht hat. Also habe ich einfach mit einer ähnlichen Wolle angestückelt, merkt kein Mensch! Danke für Deine tollen und zeitlosen Ideen!🎉❤ Gruß Rauh

Glad you found me and my patterns! Thank you for your lovely words, Anja x

Love the scarf, your daughter is very beautiful. Thanks for tips

[@shamababes1]

I just finished doing this scarf for a friend of mine and it turned out pretty well. I struggled to make the end look as good as yours but it still looks ok. May I say your daughter Rachael is absolutely beautiful! I guess she takes after her mother 😊❤

[@29joycequinteroresto]

This will always be my favorite Ophelia Talks videos because it was the first item I ever made from Anja's patterns. What would nake it even better would be me winning the Hiya Hiya hook set. That would be amazing!!! I want it's a beautiful set!!!

"🌺🌱🌺 Hello from Wisconsin~USA .. I loved watching you make the Rachel Scarf ..it is so beautiful & your lovely daughter modeling it also 💞 It was so sweet listening you teaching how to make it & also how you "played yarn chicken" as we all sometimes have to do. Thank you for being my crochet sister this evening ☺️."

[@sandygrogg1203]

My absolute fav stitch! I used it for a beautiful red wrap for my daughter, and am using it in a lapghan, for a friend who is in a nursing home, doing rehab for her stroke. It’s so easy, and always looks amazing.

[@louisegrogan2906]

How would u make this scarf bigger or smaller please x

[@sandygrogg1203]

This stitch is one of my favorites. I did a lapghan for a friend with it, plus a wrap for my daughter.., I love how it works up.. It worked up beautifully!

[@77sun222]

Supercute!!!

[@adaisychain5]

Hello my dear. Writing you from central Illinois USA. I have a beautiful Ragdoll cat named Buddy and two other kitties, Tubby and Jasper. Do you have a problem with cat hair getting woven in the pieces you crochet? I sure do, so I could never sell anything! 😻Oh well. Your channel is so inviting and inspiring! I’m sure everyone feels you’re right in their room visiting. This is a very delightful scarf and such a cozy color!

[@OpheliaTalks]

adaisychain5 Yes I try to keep the cats away from the crochet but it doesn’t really work.... thanks so much for the comment and indeed it works the other way round too.... when I am filming I pretend you are all there with me crocheting , drinking tea, eating cake and having a wonderful natter! Thanks for watchingxxxx

Thats gorgeous yarn. It looks like Lionbrand's Landscapes yarns! Im going to see if I can order that exact yarn to the USA!

beautiful!

[@lorischreiner1591]

This would be an easy stitch to do since I'm a beginner. I would have to purchase a similar type of yarn, The scarf and color are so beautiful. Could you please do a video on making a shawl using this stitch. Thank you, Lori Schreiner USA

[@JohannesJunkJournalLife]

Lori Schreiner yes that is a great idea!

[@GrandmaLM]

I know this is now 2023 but to answer your question, add more chains and rows for shawl.

[@julieenslow5915]

Beautiful scarf! I was so unhappy to find out that this yarn is not available in the US - which is a bummer - but I am sure some enterprising person is going to see this and check into importing Zygnet Boho Spirit! Meanwhile I am doing about six more virus shawls for Christmas gifts and a Harmony blanket in my own colors for my own bed. Should keep me busy for a little while at least! Thank you for the fabulous designs!

[@OpheliaTalks]

Julie Enslow can you not order it via the amazon link it provide in the description box??

[@julieenslow5915]

I don't think so. It was that link that took me to a screen that said "No sellers are currently delivering that item to the United States." I wanted to look at the other colorways, and kept being blocked by that note. Seriously, it will take me the whole summer to do the projects I already have yarn for, so I can wait. But this one is definitely on my list!

[@OpheliaTalks]

@@julieenslow5915 Thanks for the reply! I am sure woolwarehouse ship it to the USA, i just wanted to try the affiliate link! Thanks for watching! xxx

[@julieenslow5915]

I'll check with them, thanks.

[@susieinthecountry4434]

thanks for the pattern and video. what is the yarn weight as I need a substitution? a rather expensive yarn in USA. thanks again Anja:)

[@Uzma888]

Beautiful scarf! If I want to make a ‘normal’ scarf and width, is there a multiple I should follow? For example chain length of 2s or 4s etc.? Many thanks !

[@juliemurray4719]

You can just do the same as in this video but don’t do the join at the end

[@Uzma888]

@ Sorry, I didn’t explain myself very well. I meant a narrower scarf as you didn’t mention multiples in the video, only 52 chain stitches plus two. Can I do 30 plus two for example? Thank you for replying to swiftly! I love your videos!

[@juliemurray4719]

@@Uzma888try 31 plus 2 I think the multiple is 3+1 then you add 2

Hi Anja! Think this will be my next project IF I can find the yarn ! Amazon says: this item can’t be shipped to your country, please choose another location 🙄 Where oh where can I find it???
