January 2026 Scarf Patterns
This month’s patterns include one cowl and one infinity scarf. They’re both practical, comfortable to wear, and great projects to start the year with.
Classic Comfort Crochet Cowl (by Rhondda Mol – Oombawka Design Crochet)
My January scarf pattern is the Classic Comfort Crochet Cowl. It’s a warm, classic project you can crochet for yourself or make as a gift. This pattern works beautifully in solid colors and soft, cozy yarns.
Yarn: Red Heart Soft (Medium Weight Yarn)
Crochet Hook: 5.5 mm (I)

Primrose Infinity Scarf (by Amy – The Stitchin’ Mommy)
Amy’s scarf pattern for January is the Primrose Infinity Scarf. This infinity scarf is a great option if you enjoy wrap-around scarves that stay in place while you wear them.
Yarn: Lion Brand Made With Love The Cottony One
Crochet Hook: 5.5 mm (I)

Free Premium PDFs for Club Members (First 24 Hours)
As part of the Scarf of the Month Club, Club members can download the Premium PDF versions for free for the first 24 hours after the patterns are released.
If you haven’t joined yet, you can still crochet along using the free patterns on our blogs — but joining the Club gives you the option to grab the ad-free PDFs during the free download window.

Next week we’ll be releasing the matching hat patterns designed to coordinate with this month’s scarves. If you love crocheting sets, this is a fun way to build a scarf + hat combo you can wear all winter.
