The Crochet Bean Stitch is not only beautiful but also easy to master, making infinity scarves like this a breeze. While the crochet bean stitch may look intimidating, it’s straightforward once you know the steps!
Yarn Choice: For this scarf, I used a wool/acrylic blend yarn, but you can choose any yarn that suits you, such as acrylic, wool, cotton, or even a combination of them. The yarn you pick will influence the texture and warmth of your scarf, so feel free to experiment with what you like best.
Stitch Simplicity: The bean stitch may seem tricky at first glance, but it’s surprisingly simple to master. Once you get the hang of it, you’ll find the stitch has a lovely texture that adds a unique touch to your project. With a bit of practice, you’ll be able to create a beautiful, textured scarf in no time.
Cowl Dimensions: The finished crochet infinity scarf is about 6 feet in length and 7-8 inches wide, perfect for wrapping around your head loosely twice! Try my Crochet Cowl Pattern for a more snug cowl design.
Instructions
This pattern is made in rows.
Ch x25 and turn.
Row 1: In the third ch from the hook make a bs.
To make a bean stitch (bs), insert hook into the ch, then yo and pull up a loop (2 loops on hook). Then, yo and insert a hook into the same ch and pull up a loop (4 loops). Next, yo and insert a hook into the same ch and pull up a loop (6 loops).
Then yo and pull through all the loops.
*Immediately make a ch.
Skip the next ch and repeat the above process for making another bean stitch. Repeat from * for the rest of the row.
After the last bean stitch, ch x2 (instead of 1) and turn.
Row 2: Make a bs directly below the last rows bs - where the gap is. But make sure you make the stitch into the little leg of the bean stitch that pokes out. Ch x1. Repeat for the rest of the row.
At the end of the row, ch x2 and turn.
Row 3-150: Repeat row 2. Make longer or shorter if needed. Fasten off and leave a tail for sewing.
Sewing: Sew the two ends of the crochet infinity scarf together and then weave in tails.
