The Daddy O scarf was originally inspired by my stepfather. I was trying to think up a design as a holiday gift for him and this idea came to me. It’s a simple design with a little bit of flair – kind of like him!
Although I don’t call my stepfather “Dad”, his name, or “stepdad”, I do call him “Daddy O”. I have no idea where that name came from, it just seemed to fit him. So, here we have the Daddy O Scarf!
When I was getting pictures for this scarf, he had no idea that I had made it for him. He thought it was just one of my regular designs. But, boy, did he go crazy for it. I’ve never seen him so enthrawled with one of my designs! He kept saying how much he loved the design…the color…how it fit, etc… So, I know that this is the right gift for him.
This pattern is an intermediate project, but some of my testers also labeled it as easy.

Today I am so excited to share with you the FREE crochet pattern for the Sunny Skies Infinity Scarf! The Sunny Skies Infinity Scarf was inspired by a YouTube tutorial I did for the Cable Crochet Stitch. I recently started getting requests for a pattern using that stitch, so the inspiration for this scarf was born. When I felt how lovely the King Cole Drifter 4ply yarn is, the yarn was calling to be used for this particular scarf.

About the yarn
The yarn used King Cole Drifter 4 ply. This yarn is a #2 / fingering weight yarn and is oh-so-lovely to work with; It’s light and airy and works up wonderfully. It’s a blend of 69% Premium Acrylic, 25% Cotton, 6% Wool and contains approximately 437 yards / 400 metres. This yarn can be machine washed on gentle in cool water and machine dried on the cool setting. In working with it, I found very few knots and it’s so soft on my hands.
This pattern is an EASY project. Therefore, a beginner could try this out, too. I showed a girlfriend that just recently started crocheting how to do this project, and she breezed through it in just a few days.
