The Lacy Fan Infinity Scarf is a lightweight, textured scarf with a soft drape and a simple repeat that becomes easy to remember. Once the stitch pattern is established, this scarf works up quickly, making it a relaxing project you can finish in just a few sittings. The open fan design adds movement and style without feeling bulky, which makes it great for everyday wear.
The Lacy Fan Infinity Scarf Pattern was originally designed by Joanita Theron. Joanita sold the full-pattern rights to Oombawka Design, Ltd. This pattern is now available exclusively at Oombawka Design Crochet. I have rewritten and updated this pattern.

About This Pattern
This scarf features a repeating lacy fan stitch that creates a soft, flexible fabric with great drape. The stitch pattern is easy to remember once set up, which makes this a good project for relaxed crocheting. The infinity style allows the scarf to sit comfortably without needing to adjust or rewrap it.
Make It Any Size or Yarn
This pattern can be made with any yarn and crochet hook you have on hand. Changing the yarn weight or hook size will affect the width, length, and drape of the finished scarf.
Instructions are included after the pattern to explain how to adjust the stitch repeats so you can make the scarf longer, shorter, wider, or narrower as needed. This makes it easy to customize the scarf to suit your preferences or to use yarn from your stash.
