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

Ways to Wear This Infinity Shawl
Crochet Wrap / Shawl
Drape it across your shoulders to instantly elevate a dress or formal outfit. It's lightweight and lacy, making it perfect as a cover-up for spring and summer evenings. It's elegant enough to be worn over a wedding gown for a touch of handmade charm.
Crochet Infinity Scarf
Loop the shawl twice around your neck for a classic infinity scarf look that keeps you warm and stylish. The drape is soft and elegant, making it the perfect accessory to elevate any outfit from everyday casual to romantic date night.
Crochet Cowl
Wwear it bunched up close to your neck like a cowl for a cozy and polished finish. This look adds just the right amount of texture and warmth without feeling bulky. It's ideal for transitional weather or layering under a coat.
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.
