One of my favorite things about the Manko Puff Stitch Infinity Scarf Free Crochet Pattern is that almost any bulky yarn will work. Lion Brand Wool Ease Thick & Quick is ideal for this pattern and what I typically use when making it as shown in these samples, but any solid chunky yarn will work well. You also do not need to worry at all about gauge! WHAT?!?!

YES, I said it. Gauge does not matter for this pattern. Just stitch away and enjoy.

Also: This Chunky Puff Stitch Infinity Scarf wont need much for blocking. YES! I said that too!

The Manko Puff Stitch Infinity Scarf Free Crochet Pattern features a variety of the Puff Stitch, one of my favorite stitches. The beauty of this stitch is that it creates a sort of “open” style.

So while this is an incredibly bulky and cozy scarf, the Manko Puff Stitch Infinity Scarf Free Crochet Pattern has an openness and flowing effect so you will not feel overwhelmed by the depth of the stitches.
