I originally named this the San Juan Mountain scarf as it was published in the June 2019 issue of Knotions Magazine. Even though I designed this scarf for a warm summer, while working, I couldn’t help but picture being up on a mountain in the fall. If you search “fall aspen san juan mountain”, you will find stunning pictures of gray mountains in the background surrounded by golden aspen trees – and this is what my design was named after.
Recently, I’ve come to realize that rather than come up with unique pattern names specific to the yarn colors, sometimes a series is easier (because not every v-stitch design will be in these colors). Rather than rename this the “Lightweight V-Stitch Scarf” I decided on Veronica for my V-Stitch series. See more designs in this series HERE.
When I picture Summer crocheting for accessories, I see cotton blends, and lacy patterns. In Florida, cotton blends are a must all year, and hats and scarves aren’t really worn much, unless you work in a cold office, but I do know that when I go visit my family in New Jersey for the 4th of July, outside of unexpected heat waves, the mornings and evenings are breezy and cool, and the days are just gorgeous. Being there, I can see myself running around town, visiting Lady Liberty or walking the pier wearing this elegant infinity scarf featuring the beautiful, lacy v-stitch pattern.
In the designing process, I thought, how cool would this scarf be in a colorblock pattern? I went to my yarn stash, and found lonely single skeins of the coffee milk, and hammersmith colorways, and knew they’d be perfect!
If you don’t like infinity scarves, you can easily make this a regular scarf by not joining the edges together. Simple!
My nails are Color Street Oslo and Steady, and Kiss and Toile.

Materials:
- Lightweight #3 Yarn – I used Berroco’s Modern Cotton DK in the Del (6627), Coffee Milk (6618), and Hammersmith (6613) colorways
- G6/4mm Crochet Hook
- Tapestry Needle for Weaving in Ends
Material Notes:
Less than half of each skein to work toddler and child sizes, about half of each skein for adult small size, and a little more for adult large size.
Yarn Alternatives: Premier’s Cotton Fair (you might be able to find also at Michaels), Lion Brand’s Coboo. For warmer options, Berroco’s Vintage DK, or anything with acrylic, nylon and/or wool.
Measurements:
- Toddler: 4 ⅛” wide by 30 ¾” in length
- Child: 5 1/16” wide by 43 ⅞” in length
- Adult Small: 6” wide by 60” in length
- Adult Large: 6 ⅞” wide by 70 ⅛” in length
Gauge (Not Essential):
- In V-Stitch Pattern: 8 V-Stitches = 4 ⅛” (10.49 cm) wide, 9 rows = 4” (10.16 cm) tall, OR
- 22 DC by 11 Rows = 4” (10.16 cm) Wide by 3.75” (9.53 cm) Tall
Abbreviations:
- DC – Double Crochet
- PLT – Pull Loop Through Join Method
- To PLT: pull up on current loop (so it doesn’t fall out), insert hook from right side through corresponding stitch of previous square, grab loop with hook, tighten as normal, and pull through, then continue to work next stitch
Pattern Notes:
Beginning chain 2 counts as a double crochet.
If you would like to make wider, or skinner, the multiple is 3 plus 8.
To join the edges of the scarf, I worked my favorite join-as-you-go method – the Pull Loop Through Method (PLT). Instructions given below as an optional row. An alternative to this would be to just finish the last row as written, and then: 1.) fold scarf in half so right sides are facing each other, and wrong side is facing you, and slip stitch through both layers of fabric, or; 2.) fasten off with a long tail, and whipstitch closed.
Pattern:
With Del, chain 32 (38, 41,50). (DC, chain 1, DC) into the 8th chain from the hook, skip the next 2 chains, [(DC, chain 1, DC) into the next chain, skip the next 2 chains] 7x (9x, 11x, 13x), DC into the last chain. [8 (10, 12, 14) v-stitches]

Rows 25 – 48 (36 – 70, 50 – 98, 58 – 114): Switch to Coffee Milk. Chain 2, turn. (DC, chain 1, DC) into the chain space of each v-stitch across, DC in the top of the last chain 2. [8 (10, 12, 14) v-stitches]

Optional, Row 72 (105, 147, 171): Chain 2, turn.

It’s such a lovely scarf! i like the colours you used! I wish I could make my own scarves, I’m always buying them every winter, haha!
Thank you for joining the #weekdaywearlinkup!
Alexandra says
I would be happy to “teach” you 😉 I had a lot of fun making this scarf. I don’t wear too many living in Florida, but then again, I try to stay inside when it’s cold. I think I am going to try to incorporate them more this year if I can.
Michelle says
Lovely! Thanks for sharing with Creative Compulsions!

I am a scarf girl. I’d rather wear a scarf than a necklace any day so I’m loving your lightweight infinity scarf! I would wear this a lot. Going to show my daughter, the crocheter in the family, your pattern and hint that Christmas is coming and red is her mother’s favorite color. LOL Pinned 🙂
Alexandra says
Hehe. Well, you let me know. I would be happy to make you one!
April J Harris says
What a pretty scarf – I love the colours, and the fact it can be an ordinary scarf or an infinity scarf too. I don’t know how to crochet but so many of our Hearth and Soul community members do, and I’m so grateful you shared this lovely pattern with us! Thank you for being a part of the Hearth and Soul Link Party Community.
I’m featuring this post at the party this week. Hope to ‘see’ you there! Take care, stay well, and I wish you a wonderful week!
Alexandra says
Thank you so much, April! I had a lot of fun making this scarf, and try my best to give different sizes and options so it works for everyone. I enjoy partying with you! About to hop over right now for this week’s.
