Landscape scarf and hook pics

Yarn: Lion Brand Landscapes Tropics (147 yd), 2 skeins

Hook: J/6.0mm Furls wooden and I/5.5mm by Laurie Whitaker

Size: 7" x 67"

Pattern: ch 22, straight dc. I used the J hook for the body and I for the border


I haven't shown hooks in a while so I pulled out a few of the latest ones to show.

These are made by Laurie Whitaker


These are some from Polymer Clay Shed.


Happy crocheting!

baby blanket

Yarn: I Love This Yarn Soft Blue, 3 skeins

Hook: H/5.0mm from Laurie Whitaker

Size: about 33" square

Pattern: I started out with the Beginner's Luck and then worked on figuring out a border using the same design.  The main bit is rows of dc, V stitch, dc decrease (inverted V stitch), and ending with dc. Then I went around the whole thing with a row of dc first, then worked out the rest.

The border will settle down after it's washed.


Happy crocheting!

Hexie ABCs Skein 8-9

Hexie ABCs Skein 8 and 9

Yarn: Mary Maxim Starlette in color Soft Blue, 3.5oz,  180 yds (164.592 m) per skein

Hook: Bella Coco H/5.0mm

Pattern: Mayhem & Majesty Hexie ABCs

Finished size: 44" x 50"


All of Becca's filet crochet patterns are well done and easy to follow. You just have to pay attention and don't miss any skips. This pattern was no exception. It turned out bigger than I was expecting but not too much larger than listed in the pattern which is 47" x 45".

I used 9 skeins but had 1.1 oz left which I figure is about 50 yards. 

I made no changes to the pattern.

Happy crocheting!
