Easy Crochet Scarf Pattern from 2023 || Riverside

Last year, the design I made was named after my stay at the Port Orleans Resort Riverside. I loved the resort and felt that naming this easy crochet scarf pattern Riverside was the right thing to do.

You can read all about it here (psst: the pattern is still free too)

What Makes This Years Crochet Infinity Scarf Easy?

The pattern itself is not hard to follow, and it is an easy to memorize two row repeat. As long as you keep track of the number of stitches you have when you are working the rows, and maintain the color sequence, it’ll be smooth sailing on this infinity scarf or crochet cowl.

Now, I did try and use rainbow colors because I love them, but you could use a long color changing yarn and just let the colors land where they may and you will get a super cute cowl too. It doesn’t have be any more complex than that.

See, EASY!
