Heart Infinity Scarf
The Heart Lace Scarf is a beautiful and easy crochet pattern that creates a delicate heart-inspired lace design perfect for gifting or adding a touch of romance to your wardrobe. One of the best features of this versatile pattern is that it can be finished as either a traditional scarf or joined into a cozy infinity scarf to suit your style. The pattern uses linked double crochet stitches to create the elegant texture. If you’ve never tried linked double crochet before, don’t worry—it’s an easy technique to learn and a great way to expand your crochet skills while making a scarf that looks far more intricate than it actually is.

Crochet Tutorials
If you’re new to crochet, no worries! I have many beginner tutorial videos to guide you through every step of the process. My tutorials are designed to be easy to follow and will help you master the basics and beyond. You can use the search bar anytime to look for a particular stitch or technique.
Crochet Stitches Used For The Scarf
For the pattern, you will be using mostly linked double crochet along with a single crochet border. If you are new to these stitches, click on them to be taken to a beginner tutorial that will walk you through step-by-step before you start the project.
Suggested Yarn
Unfortunately, Knit Picks no longer makes the original yarn color used in the scarf, which was Chroma Fingering in Lupine. However you can still find it on some resale sites and Knit Picks has a wonderful selection of other colors in their Chroma line. You may also substitute with any fingering yarn. You will need approx. 390 yards to complete the scarf.
Other Yarn Options in Fingering Weight
I’ve listed a few more options, at different price points, that would work great for this beanie whether you are looking for a solid color or something that has variations.
$
Lindy Chain from Knit Picks/WeCrochet is a unique fingering weight yarn with a lightweight chainette construction that gives your fabric a soft, airy feel with beautiful drape. The blend of linen and Pima cotton makes it cool and breathable, which is perfect for warm-weather projects like tops, shawls, and lightweight accessories. It has a smooth, slightly matte finish that really lets openwork and textured stitches shine, and it gets even softer after washing.
$$
Stroll Tonal from Knit Picks/WeCrochet is a super versatile fingering weight yarn that’s known for its soft feel and beautiful, subtle color shifts. The 75% superwash merino and 25% nylon blend gives it that perfect balance of warmth, durability, and easy care, so it works just as well for shawls and lightweight garments as it does for socks. Each 100-gram hank has plenty of yardage for larger projects, and the tonal dyeing adds depth without overpowering textured stitches or lace. It’s one of those reliable, budget-friendly yarns that feels great in your hands and makes finished pieces look polished and wearable.
$$$
Dream in Color Smooshy Yak is a luxurious fingering weight yarn that feels incredibly soft and smooth in your hands while still having the strength and structure you want for long-lasting projects. The blend of superwash merino, yak, and a touch of nylon gives it beautiful drape, excellent stitch definition, and a gentle warmth that makes it perfect for shawls, garments, and special accessories worn close to the skin. The yak fiber adds a subtle depth to the color and a slightly matte, sophisticated finish, and with around 400 yards per skein you get plenty of yardage for lightweight projects that look and feel extra polished.
Crochet Hook Used For Pattern
You will need a 3.5mm [US-E] crochet hook for this project.
After testing numerous brands of crochet hooks, I’ve narrowed down my favorites. Below, you’ll find my top picks, ranked from least to most expensive.
$
Clover Soft Touch Amour crochet hooks are my absolute favorite! Their comfy, soft handles make long crochet sessions a breeze.
$$
For just slightly more money, Etimo Tulip Crochet hooks are another winner in my book. With their cushioned, ergonomic handles and smooth hooks, they make crocheting with any kind of yarn super easy.
$$$
For those of you who like to splurge, Furls Crochet hooks are beautiful hooks made from resin, wood, and metal. Their ergonomic design and polished surfaces make each stitch smooth and effortless. Treat yourself to these elegant hooks for a truly premium crochet experience.
Additional Supplies Needed
The only other thing you will need is a yarn needle to weave in the ends. My favorite yarn needles are made of metal, they are easy to slide through any yarn. I like the Susan Bates option below.
Gauge For Pattern
To achieve the same size as listed below, you will need the following gauge:
4″ = 22 STS x 12 rows in pattern. Since this is a scarf, you don’t have to worry too much about gauge, but note that your yardage requirements could change if you’re gauge is off by alot.
Finished Measurement
Appox. 9” wide x 36” around if making gauge
Video Tutorial
This video tutorial will walk you through the first seven rows of the pattern (Rows 2-7 are repeated throughout).

Special Stitches Used in Pattern
Tall CH: This will be used instead of a beginning CH 3. You will pull up a loop as tall as a DC, then lock it in with another CH. Your first DC will be worked in the first ST of the row. The tall CH does not count as a stitch. This will eliminate the gap at the beginning of the RND.
Linked DC: Without a YO, insert your hook through the previous DC’s horizontal post, YO and pull up a loop through the post, insert your hook into the next ST, YO, pull up loop, YO, pull loop through first two loops, YO, pull loop through last two loops.
See the video tutorial for help.
