Pattern Notes

  • This pattern is written using US crochet terms.
  • Gauge: 10 cm x 10 cm (4" x 4") = 14 dc stitches x 9 rows
  • When working the rows with alternating double crochet and chains, I put my stitch into the chain space.
  • Sizing: Measure yourself by placing the measuring tape at the tip of the shoulder and wrapping it all the way around you like a shawl until it meets back at the same shoulder. The tape should skin the top of your shoulders closely, but it almost slips off. This is the widest circumference of your shoulders.
  • Multiply this number by 2
  • 3.5 sts = 1"
  • Example:
    • Shoulders measure 40"
    • 40" x 2 = 80" (this is how long your scarf needs to be)
    • Foundation chain = 80" x (3.5sts) + 2 sts (for turning) = 282 sts
    • This is all assuming that you are basing it on the same gauge as stated above

Why I Made This

I've been holding off on sharing this project because it was a surprise gift for a dear friend who's getting married this month. I made this elegant crochet infinity shawl especially for her bridal shower, and I didn't want to spoil the surprise!

Knowing her wedding would take place int he middle of July, I figured she probably wouldn't need a full shawl, wrap, or shrug for the ceremony, especially with her stunning strapless wedding dress with a sweetheart neckline. I didn't want her to feel like she had to cover it up.

Still, I wanted her to have something beautiful she could wrap around her shoulders later in the evening when the temperature starts to dip. It needed to be light, delicate, and elegant enough for a wedding, but also versatile enough for her to wear again after the big day.

That's how the Midsummer 3-Way Infinity Shawl came to be. It's intentionally made longer than an infinity scarf (measuring about 75 inches before seaming, compared to the typical 60 inches). That extra length adds beautiful drape and flexibility, making it easy to wear as a lightweight wrap, a classic infinity scarf, or a cozy cowl.
