Navy Clusters Infinity Scarf

I’m all about matching sets. I love sets! So naturally I had to make the Navy Clusters Infinity Scarf to match the Navy Clusters Hat.  Sounds logical, right?

When I looked at the original design of the Cream Clusters Infinity Scarf, which is super long, I decided that I’d go shorter this time. Maybe something that could still wrap around the neck snugly to fight off that cold winter chill or even something that could be worn around the neck like a giant fiber art necklace—a statement piece.

Either way, this scarf is so versatile that you can dress it up or dress it down and still look like a million bucks!

I adore the cluster stitch; it’s one of my favorites!  You may have noticed that I use it a lot.  It’s not like the bobble stitch that produces a rather large “bump”.  I like that this one only uses three double crochets, which produces a flatter cluster that reminds me of little flower buds.

This stitch works up very quickly once you get the hang of it.  I was able to work on this infinity scarf while still watching TV since there were no stitches to count, other than the foundation chain, that is.  I used Caron Simply Soft yarn in this example, but you are free to use whatever brand medium weight yarn you choose to complete the pattern.

You also have the option to pair it with a messy bun or ponytail hat, whichever you prefer to call it. You can get the Jess Mess-y Bun Hat pattern here. Of the four patterns I offer that are all within the same style family, you can mix and match and make as many variations as you choose.  Get creative with the colors, make it your own.  Any or all of these options would also make great gifts for any woman in your life!
