Introduction
This is a crochet pattern for an infinity scarf with a hood using the 6-Day Kid Blanket stitches.
The pattern is worked in the round using the straight start technique. The scarf section is squared off and the hood section is continued back and forth. Ribbing is added to the edge of the hood after the hood section is squared off and seamed.
I’ve given three weights for options, this is easily resizable if you want different dimensions. See the original 6-Day Kid Blanket and my resize video for more guidance about changing sizes for the 6-Day Kid Blanket.
I truly hope you enjoy this 6-Day Kid Blanket inspired garment!
About the row numbers:
In order to provide consistency across all of the 6DKB pattern variations, I’ve numbered the rows to correspond to the original 6-Day Kid Blanket pattern. The cluster rows are always Row or Round 2 and 3, the dc rows are always Row or Round 5 and 6, and the sc rows are always Row or Round 4 and 7. This makes it easy to adapt any pattern to the Snowflake Effect, Half Snowflake, Popsicle, or the original Vivid Chevrons.
You will be guided to work the rows in the proper order; don’t let the numbers throw you off or overthink a change in the sequence.

Begin Pattern
fsc 260, (182, 117) (do not chain – use fsc).
Join the work in the round and work round 1 starting in the first fsc stitch. Do not join with a sl st at the end of the round unless instructed to do so, just continue to the next round. Place a marker in the first sc of round 1 to keep track if you need to. When you weave in your ends, weave the starting tail across the gap using invisible join and you’ll never know where your round started and ended.
Setup Round 1: 3 sc, 6 hdc, *7 sc, 6 hdc, repeat from * to last 4 st, 4 sc.
Setup Round 2: (continuing from the previous round) sc, *3 hdc, 2 dc, ch 2, 2 dc, 3 hdc, sc, sl st, sc, repeat from * to last 2 sts, sc, sl st.
Setup Round 3: Sc, *3 hdc, 2 dc, dc ch 2 dc in ch sp, 2 dc, 3 hdc, sc, sl st, sc, repeat from * around, ending with sl st.
Setup Round 4: *7 sc, 3 sc in ch sp, 7 sc, sk 1, repeat from * around. Join to first sc w sl st.
You will be guided to work the rows in the proper order; don’t let the numbers throw you off or overthink a change in the sequence. You’ll proceed from Setup Row 4 to Row 2. Trust the pattern, it works!
Round 2: sl st in next 2 st, ch 2, dc2tog in same st. *sk next 2 sc, 3dc into next sc, sk next 2 sc, [3dc, ch 3, 3 dc] in next st, sk 2, 3 dc into next st, sk 2, dc3tog, sk next 4 sc, dc3tog, repeat from * around, sl st into top of dc2tog at beginning of round.
Round 3: sl st into sp between dc2tog and 3 dc, ch 2, dc2tog in same sp. 3 dc into next sp
[3dc, ch3, 3dc] into next ch-3 sp *3 dc into next sp, dc3tog into next sp
sk next sp, dc3tog into next sp, 3 dc into next sp, [3dc, ch3, 3dc] into next ch- 3 sp
rep from * around, sl st into top of dc2tog.
Round 4: ch 1, sc in same sp (mark this st so you know where to join at the end of the round, as joining into the sl st or the ch 1 will create extra sts and problems), 1 sc into each of next 6 dc
*3 sc into next ch 3 sp, 1 sc into each of next 14 sts, repeat from * to end. sl st into sc at beginning of round (where your marker is).
For 6 Weight, skip the next three rounds and go directly to square off rounds.
Round 5: sl st, ch 3, 6 dc, *3 dc in next st, 7 dc, sk 2, 7 dc, rep from * around sl st into top of ch 3 at the start of the round.
Round 6: sl st, ch 3, 6 dc, *3 dc in next st, 7 dc, sk 2, 7 dc, rep from * around, sl st into top of ch 3 at the start of the round.
Round 7: Ch 1, sc in same sp (mark this st), sc around, sl st into first sc of round.
Repeat rounds 2-7 once more.
Repeat rounds 2-4
If you haven’t already, mark the beginning of the round in the center st. of the valley, and place another marker at the center stitch of the valley on the other side of 6 (4, 3) points. Begin squaring off the larger 2/3 section of the piece while continuing the established pattern on the smaller hood section.
Square off Scarf Section Round 1: sl st, ch 3, 6 dc, *3 dc in next st (center sc), 7 dc, sk 2, 7 dc, rep from * to last point before marker, 3 dc in next st, 7 dc, sk 2 passing the marker, 2 dc, 3 hdc, 2 sc, sl st, 2 sc, *3 hdc 2 dc, sk 2, 2 dc, 3 hdc, 2 sc, sl st, 2 sc, Repeat from * to 6 sts before the marker, 3 hdc, 2 dc, sk 2 passing the marker, sl st into top of ch 3 at the start of the round.
Square off Scarf Section Round 2: sl st, ch 3, 6 dc, *3 dc in next st, 7 dc, sk 2, 7 dc, rep from * to last point before marker, 3 dc in next st, 7 dc, sk 2 passing the marker, 2 dc, 3 hdc, sc, sl st, sc, *3 hdc, 2 dc, sk 2, 2 dc, 3hdc, sc, slst, sc. Repeat from * to last 8 sts, 3 hdc, 2 dc, sk 2 passing the marker, sl st into top of ch 3 at the start of the round.
Square off Scarf Section Round 3: Ch 1, sc in same sp (mark this st), sc across to marker, do not skip, 3 hdc, 7 sc, *6 hdc, 7 sc repeat from * until 3 st before the marker, 3 hdc, do not sk, sl st in marked sc at the start of the round.
Continue on to the hood section, which is worked back and forth.
