The Crochet Bean Stitch is so beautiful and easy to master, making infinity scarves like this a breeze. The bean stitch may look intimidating, but it's easy once you know the steps to make it!
For this scarf, I opted for a wool/acrylic blend yarn, but you can choose any yarn like acrylic, wool, or cotton. Despite its intricate appearance, the bean stitch is easy to create, and I've included helpful pictures in the pattern. The final scarf measures approximately 6 feet in length and 7-8 inches in width, ideal for wrapping loosely around your head twice. Experiment with different colors, widths, and lengths to achieve a variety of styles!
Instructions
This pattern is made in rows.
Row 1: Ch x25 and turn.
Row 2: In the second 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 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 for the rest of the row.
The last stitch in the second row was a ch to secure the last bean stitch. From here, make another ch as this is your turning ch. Essentially you will be doing 2 chains at the end of each row. 1 for securing the bean stitch and 1 for turning.
Row 3: Skip the first stitch (the stitch that secured the bean), and stitch directly into the below bean stitch.
For the rest of the row, skip the ch stitches and work directly into the bean stitch.
At the end of the row, ch x1 and turn.
Row 4-150: Repeat row 3. 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.
Once that is done you now have a cute bean stitch infinity scarf ready for the next cold winters day!
