Infinity Spring Crochet Shawl Pattern
It's that time of year when flowers are about to bloom, but many of you are still dealing with snow. But in the meantime, get comfy with some yarn and whip up this Infinity Spring Crochet Shawl. As with this project, I want to bring new crochet techniques to learn while creating a beautiful crochet accessory, and this one has unique crochet cables.

The Infinity Spring Crochet Shawl Pattern also comes with a video tutorial! Keep scrolling below for this visual guide.
This design does feature the Infinity Crochet Method! I used a light cotton yarn so it can be worn all summer long and is a beautiful fashion feature. If you aren't familiar with the Infinity Crochet Method take a look at this introduction here.
The cable design in this pattern is worked in a new and innovative crochet method called Infinity Crochet.
All the post stitches are ‘floated’ on a consistent background stitch that never gets skipped. This allows the cable design to be raised further from the background than traditionally raised stitches and maintains an undisturbed gauge in the main fabric.
Infinity Crochet Symbol Practice
I highly recommend working up the Infinity Crochet Symbol Swatch. It’s a great way to practice a small swatch with Infinity Crochet so you can get familiar with this method for the Infinity Spring Crochet Shawl Pattern.

SPECIAL STITCHES
CC (closing curve)
Completed CC counts as 1 sc and no floating sts.
Worked as follows: sk3fs, FFDC around 4th floating st stopping with 2 loops on hook, FFDC around 3rd skipped floating st stopping with 2 loops on the hook, FFDC around 5th floating st stopping with 2 loops on hook, FFDC around 2nd skipped floating st stopping with 2 loops on hook, FFDC around 6thfloating st. stopping with 2 loops on hook, FFDC around 1st floating st. stopping with 2 loops on hook, insert hook into next sc and pull up a loop, yo and pull through all loops on hook.
FF3DC (front float three double crochet)
Yo, insert hook from front-to back-to-front around post of indicated st (or next available floating st, if no st is indicated) and pull up a loop, [yo and draw through 2 loops] twice. Repeat for the remaining two floating stitches to work a total of three front float stitches next to each other.
LC (Front Float Three Treble Stitches in 4-stitch Left Cross)
This group of sts counts as 4 linen stitches and 6 floating sts.
Worked as follows: sk3fs, FF3TR around next floating sts, (sc, ch 1 and skip next) twice, working over floating st just created FF3TR around skipped floating st.
FF3TRTR (Front Float Three Triple Treble Crochet)
Yo four times, insert hook from front-to back-to-front around post of indicated st (or next available floating st, if no st is indicated) and pull up a loop, [yo and draw through 2 loops] 5 times. Repeat for remaining two floating stitch to work a total of three front float stitches next to each other.
OC (Opening Curve)
This group of stitches counts as 4 linen stitches and 6 floating sts.
Worked as follows: Skip 2 stitches, FF3TR around next sc two rows below, (sc, ch 1 and skip next) twice, FF3TR around the base of FF3TR just made starting with the top floating stitch down.
Infinity Spring Crochet Shawl Notes:
The chain at the beginning of the row does not count as a stitch.
Some rounds will increase in stitch count due to floating stitches, and then decrease again on the next round.
If the cables pull in too much and the fabric does not lay flat, simply add one yarn over to each floating stitch.
If the cables are too loose, take away one yarn over from each floating stitch.

Infinity Spring Crochet Shawl Pattern Instructions Continued:
You should be in a grove working the cable repeats on a background of linen stitches and this next part will come easier. Next, will begin with the Decreasing Repeats section which will help us mirror the increases we began with to keep the asymmetrical shape of the shawl.
Finally, we will also be working the Closing Curve in the Finishing End section which is amazing in creating a clean finish to our cable lines. Instead of just dropping our cable work at a random point this will give a smooth completion. Then we will work only by decreasing the linen stitches until this end matches the beginning end.
