Pattern Notes

Both of these patterns are worked with two active loops. To switch between loops, pull the loop on the hook up so it’s bigger, remove the hook, and place a stitch marker in that loop so it doesn’t pull out. Then insert the hook in the second loop and tighten it down on the hook, removing the stitch marker before continuing to crochet with it.
When crocheting the hat, always move the inactive loop to the inside of the hat.
When crocheting the scarf, you will only turn after the even numbered rows, as indicated in the pattern.
On even numbered rows, when crocheting into the skipped stitches of the row (or round) before the previous row, crochet over the ch-2 of the previous row enclosing it in the stitch. This will be referred to as “working around previous row.” “One row below” refers to the row before the previous one.

Hat Pattern

Rnd 1: With Color A, fdc 72; join with a sl st to work in the round. (72 sts)
Rnds 2-3: Ch 2 (does not count as a st), fpdc in the 1st st, bpdc in the next st, *fpdc in the next st, bpdc in the next st; rep from * around, join with a sl st to first fpdc. (72 sts)
Rnd 4: Repeat Round 2, remove hook from loop.
Rnd 5: With Color B, join to 1^st st of previous round, cluster shell in 1^st st, ch 2, skip 5 sts, *cluster shell in next st, ch 2, skip 5 sts; rep from * around, join with a sl st, remove hook from loop. (12 cluster shells)
Rnd 6: Insert hook in active loop of Color A, ch 2, sc in center cluster of 1^st cluster shell, ch 2, working around previous round, dc in the 2^nd skipped st of Round 4, ch 1, dc in the 4^th skipped st of Round 4, ch 2, *sc in center cluster of next cluster shell, ch 2, working around previous round, dc in the 2^nd skipped st of Round 4, ch 1, dc in the 4^th skipped st of Round 4, ch 2; rep from * around, join with a sl st, remove hook from loop.
Rnd 7: Insert hook in active loop of Color B, ch 4, *cluster shell in next ch-1 sp, ch 2; rep from * around, join with a sl st, remove hook from loop. (12 cluster shells)
Rnd 8: Insert hook in active loop of Color A, ch 4, *working around previous round, dc in next ch-2 one row below, ch 1, working around previous round, dc in next ch-2 one row below, ch 2, sc in center cluster of next cluster shell, ch 2; rep from * around, join with a sl st, remove hook from loop.
Rnds 9-31: Repeat Rounds 7-8, finishing with a Round 7 repeat, break Color B.
Rnd 32: Insert hook in active loop of Color A, ch 4, *dc2tog over next 2 ch-2 sps, ch 1, sc in center of next cluster shell, ch 1; rep from *, join with a sl st; break Color B leaving a 12” tail, use the tails to weave through ch 1 sps of Round 32 and gather top of hat closed.

Infinity Scarf Pattern

Row 1: With Color A, ch 35, cluster in 5^th ch from the hook, ch 2, skip 5 chs, *cluster shell in next ch, ch 2, skip 5 chs; rep from * until 1 st remains, (cluster, ch 1, dc) in the last st, remove hook from loop, do NOT turn. (4 cluster shells, 2 clusters)
Row 2: With Color B, join to 3^rd ch of skipped ch-4 at beginning of Row 1, ch 1, sc in same st, ch 2, working around previous row, dc in the 2^nd skipped ch, ch 1, dc in the 4^th skipped ch, ch 2, *sc in center cluster of next cluster shell, ch 2, working around previous row, dc in the 2^nd skipped ch, ch 1, dc in the 4^th skipped ch, ch 2; rep from * to end, finishing with a sc in the last st, remove hook from loop, turn.
Row 3: Insert hook in active loop of Color A, ch 2, sc in the 1^st st, ch 1, *cluster shell in next ch-1 sp, ch 2; rep from * to end, finishing last repeat with a ch 1, sc in the last st, remove hook from loop, do NOT turn. (5 cluster shells)
Row 4: Insert hook in active loop of Color B, ch 3, working around previous row, dc in next ch-2 sp one row below, ch 2, *sc in center cluster of next cluster shell, ch 2, working around previous row, dc in next ch-2 sp one row below, ch 1, dc in next ch-2 sp one row below, ch 2; rep from * to end, finishing with dc in last ch-2 sp one row below, dc in the last st, remove hook from loop, turn.
Row 5: Insert hook in active loop of Color A, ch 2, sl st in 1^st st, ch 4, cluster in same st, ch 2, *cluster  shell in next ch-1 sp, ch 2; rep from to end, finishing with (cluster, ch 1, dc) in last st, do NOT turn. (4 cluster shells, 2 clusters)
Row 6: Insert hook in active loop of Color B, ch 3, sc in 3^rd ch of ch-4, ch 2, working around previous row, dc in next ch-2 one row below, ch 1, dc in next ch-2 one row below, ch 2, *sc in center cluster of next cluster shell, ch 2, working around previous row, dc in next ch-2 sp one row below, ch 1, dc in next ch-2 sp one row below, ch 2; rep from * to end, sc in the last st, remove hook from loop, turn.
Rows 7-94: Repeat Rows 3-6, at the end of Row 94 do NOT remove hook from loop, turn.
