Painterly Infinity Scarf - Free Pattern

I got up early this morning to FINALLY get my one-ball infinity scarf pattern written up! It's the only way I could find the time to get it done.

So without further ado ... I introduce the Painterly Infinity Scarf by me :)

painterly [ peyn-ter-lee ]
characterised by qualities of colour, stroke, and texture

materials:
yarn: one ball of Papatya Batik (pictured scarf uses 554-42)
hook: 5mm
notions: yarn needle, scissors, large buttons x3

notes:

• US terminology used throughout
• gauge isn’t important for this project
• this pattern is worked in rows and then sewn together to form a large loop
• initial ch3 counts as a dc
• suitable for all levels

abbreviations:
st: stitch
yo: yarn over
ch: chain
dc: double crochet
V-Stitch
work (dc, ch1, dc) into a single stitch
FPdc [front post double crochet]
yo, insert hook from front to back to front around the designated stitch post, yo, pull up a loop, yo, pull through 2 loops, yo, pull through remaining two loops
BPdc [back post double crochet]
yo, insert hook from back to front to back around the designated stitch post, yo, pull up a loop, yo, pull through 2 loops, yo, pull through remaining two loops

pattern:

Repeat rows 3 & 4 until you have used the entire ball of yarn. Finish off leaving a 30cm tail of yarn.

finishing instructions:

• fold in half, with the bottom edge overlapping the top
• stitch in place with the tail of yarn
• weave in ends
• attach buttons (if desired) in the centre of the three V-stitch sections
