Have you ever read a book that you weren’t able to put down? You say to yourself “just one more chapter…” and suddenly you’ve been on the couch reading for an hour. The One More Chapter Infinity Scarf crochet pattern encapsulates that very same feeling, where something is so enjoyable, you just can’t stop. The easy stripes and beginner-friendly stitches make crocheting this scarf so much fun.
Unlike my other mini skein patterns that showcase a gradient effect of one color fading to the next, the One More Chapter Infinity Scarf is all about creating beautiful contrasting stripes. The way they all look together reminds me of a bookshelf! I used 12 mini skeins for this project (more on that below!) but this would also be a great stashbuster pattern to mix and match different colors from your stash.
This pattern has all kinds of *perks* that you’ll love, like a mini video tutorial to walk you through pattern tips to show you how to create a straight, nearly invisible seam! You’ll also get to see how I secured my ends without weaving in a single one! Yes, you read that right – you do NOT need to weave in your ends on this scarf. And that’s not all, I also included a gauge checkpoint which is essentially a shortcut so you can check your gauge without having to make a gauge swatch. It’s like magic!

Let’s Talk Yarn!
With a pattern like this, it’s helpful to know *exactly* how much yarn you’ll need and how many colors! This pattern uses a total of 960 yards of fingering (1) weight yarn. You’ll need about 80 yards of 12 different colors.
For my One More Chapter Infinity Scarf, I used 12 Sewrella Yarn mini skeins from the Autumn in New York Collection. If you’re familiar with Sewrella Yarn, you know they frequently feature a 10-skein mini set in their collections, including their seasonal tonal collections! These mini sets are really the perfect way to create your palette for this scarf because all the colors go so well together, and still have a lot of variety and contrast to keep things interesting.
Now, if you notice I used a 10 skein mini set for this, but I needed 12 colors in order to make sure my project was the right size. I used about 80 yards of two full size skeins from the same collection of colors instead of purchasing another set of 10 mini skeins. If you look closely at my One More Chapter Infinity Scarf, you’ll see the pink colorway and cream colorway are actually used twice! These are the colors I used minis for AND part of a full size skein. This worked really well because I only needed part of my full size skeins and still have them for other projects!
TLDR: Just know you need the quantity of 12 mini skeins, but you can definitely use part of full size skeins or leftovers in your stash to help create your full palette of 12 colors. Or repeat a color if you really like it and have enough yarn for it!

The lowest weight I use I’d DK, Worsted is my go to.
Have you had anyone use a heavier yarn? I just love this scarf and would make it if I could use a different weighted yarn.
This pattern was designed for fingering weight yarn, but you could certainly make it with DK or worsted weight if you’d like! Just keep in mind your hook size and gauge will need to be adjusted as your finished project size will vary when using a different yarn weight.
