Finger crochet can be worked in any weight yarn, but we think it's easier with heavier yarns like chunky, super chunky and super super chunky! Using your fingers instead of a hook is easier than you think - you'll be amazed how quick it is to create a fabulous cowl or scarf in no time at all!
Materials
- Paintbox Yarns Wool Mix Super Chunky
- Set of 2 Clover Jumbo Darning Needles with Case
To make Merion's simple infinity scarf:
1
![step 1](https://content.prod.lovecrafts.co/lovecrafts/7d28dd8f-36a3-46c3-9169-2cb0c28f0bc4_FC+4.jpg?auto=compress,format&rect=421,0,1080,1080&w=226&h=226)
Make a slip knot with your fingers, and chain 50 (50 plus 1 for turning), and turn the work.

![step 2](https://content.prod.lovecrafts.co/lovecrafts/9f18682b-342b-465b-8737-3268f7b07db6_FC+5.jpg?auto=compress,format&rect=421,0,1080,1080&w=226&h=226)
Work a single crochet (UK double crochet) into each loop of the chain with your fingers. When you reach the end, turn the work.

Ch 1, work a single crochet (UK double crochet) into every stitch, and repeat this row until your scarf is deep enough - you can increase the number of balls of yarn you use, but Merion only used one in the video for a small scarf.

To sew up your scarf, place the ends right side together and sew using mattress stitch. To create a mobius scarf, twist the scarf once before sewing the ends together.
