Welcome to The Scarf a Month Club!
with Amy and Rhondda (me!)
I asked on my Facebook page at the end of December 2015, what type of patterns YOU the Crocheter wanted designed for this year and one of the popular replies was Crochet Scarves (…and cowls) to use for gifts this year.
We aim to please!
Amy and I decided we would start The Scarf a Month Club and each month of 2016 Amy and I will each share 1 free crochet pattern for a crochet scarf, or cowl. This means by the end of December you will have 24 free crochet patterns for scarves to choose from!
The best part of this is – you will get to help us decide some of the details about the scarves we make – so if you have a special stitch you would like to see showcased or specific style, or even size (length/width) you would like us to include – let us know by leaving a message on one of The Scarf a Month Club posts.
The Scarf a Month Club posts will be available on the second Sunday of every month – meaning the final scarf patterns will be available on December 11th giving you plenty of time if you needed to make them for last minute Christmas Gifts.
If you would like to share your progress please feel free to add Ravelry Project Pages for the scarves you make! Each pattern post will include a specific pattern link to Ravelry so you can add your own project pages!
You can also join our Facebook Group, Crochet With Us CAL Group You can share your progress, ask questions and get help!
We have also set up this #hashtag to use on Instagram – so if you love to share on Instagram share your projects by tagging us @amyramnarine and/or @oombawkadesign and use the hashtag #ScarfoftheMonthClub!

Pattern Instructions
Beginning with Color A – Sample used Grape
R1: Ch 219 line up the beginning and end of R1 and make sure it does not twist. [219]
You will be working in continuous rounds. This means you do not slip stitch to join, or chain any additional stitches unless specifically indicated.
R2: You will be working into the back bump of the chain for this entire round. *1 sc in the first st, 1 dc in the next st, 1 sc in the next st**. Rep from * to ** 72 more times. [219]
R3: Work (1 Blsc, 1 BLdc, 1 BLsc) in each Bldc around. Skip all other stitches. [219]
R4-R13: Rep R3. Making the last BLsc of R13 a BLsl st. Finish off with an invisible join and weave in ends.
Take your infinity scarf and rotate it so the initial starting chain is now your working row. Weave in the initial starting chain end neatly without disturbing the starting chain loops which still remain. Basically weave the end through the work, not the starting chain.
You will now begin your contrast color rounds using Color B. The sample uses Black.
NOTE: Locate a dc stitch in your finished work and run your finger straight down from the dc to the starting chain row. The reason we are taking the time to line up the stitches as close to the dc as possible is to mimic the fabric you have already created above using Color A.
R1: Attach Color B using a single crochet join, in the bl of the ch immediately before the ch which lined up with the dc st (see the note above). 1 BLdc in the next st, 1 BL sc in the next st. *1 BLsc in the next st, 1 BLdc in the next st, 1 BLsc in the next st**. Rep from * to ** 71 more times. [219]
R2: Work (1 Blsc, 1 BLdc, 1 BLsc) in each Bldc around. Skip all other stitches. [219]
R3-R9: Rep R2. Making the last BLsc of R19 a BLsl st. Finish off with an invisible join and weave in ends.
Here are some more photos – different sides – different angles – different wraps…

Of course 🙂
patty bodensteiner says
can you make this with one color or a two tone color & use the same rules?
Beverly says
When working Color B, it states R3-R9, but then in the body of the sentence, its says R19. Could you clarify this please?
Glenda says
Thank you.
Rhondda says
Hi Glenda 🙂 I will add the links to Facebook today. Thank you for the idea! The post you are in is my free pattern post – scroll to the bottom and the January Infinity Scarf is available 🙂 The PrintFriendly Button is located immediately below my written pattern for my pattern. Hope this helps! The bonus pattern – is being added today 🙂 so you are actually receiving 3 patterns. One from Amy (The Woven Cowl), one from me (January Infinity Scarf) and one from our Mystery Designer – I’m on my way to add that link as she published it this morning. All the best, Rhondda
Glenda says
Thank you. I cannot find the second pattern for January. The only one I found was the Simple Woven Cowl. Could you maybe put the links in the files section of a Facebook page? Thanks so much.
Rhondda says
Thank you Maggie!!
Rhondda says
Hi Susan, Hi Kimberly! The 2nd free pattern link is included in the post. Amy’s website (The Stitchin’ Mommy) is where the 2nd pattern will always be found and I link to it in my post. Here’s the direct link: https://www.thestitchinmommy.com/simple-woven-cowl-free-crochet-pattern-scarf-month-club/
I tried to ‘highlight’ the section in the post so it is easier to find 🙂
Hope this helps!

Hi Glenda ! There is a Printfriendly Button at the very end of the post 🙂 It is Green and if you click on it you can save a PDF of the post or print a copy 🙂 The button is located at the very bottom of every post on my website and there is a 2nd Printfriendly button located on the right sidebar just above the section that splits into 2 columns. All the best, Rhondda

Glenda says
I would love to have a print buttton on these patterns. Thanks for sharing.
Kimberly Charfauros says
I thought it was just me, but I was curious about the same thing. I love this pattern and can’t wait to see what the other one could possible be!
Susan Smyh says
This is a wonderful idea! Maybe I missed something but, I understood their to be two patterns per month. Where would I find the other one? Thanks!
