front loop, back loop Big Twist scarf

Yarn: Big Twist anti-pilling acrylic in color Meerkat. Just over 6 ozs used (bit less than 2 skeins)

Hook: birth month flower hook H/5.0mm by Hooked by Holtby

Size: 5 1/2" x 61"

I'm very happy with this yarn. I had no knots to cut out at all. I have a few other colors so I'll be using it again.

Happy crocheting!

Patons Canadiana scarf

Yarn: Patons Canadiana Pretty Baby and Paintbox yarn Simply Aran

Hook: H/5.0mm

Size: 6" x 66" 

Pattern: ch 20, dc across. 10 rows each color. 6 sections white and 7 of variegated. Each 10 row section is 5".


I've always liked the Patons Canadiana yarn but since I've been using stash yarn for the past few years I haven't bought any recently. I found this in the bottom of my worsted bin along with a small amount from another skein. It was enough for the 7 sections plus the sc border.

I don't have much worsted left from my stash but this week I gave in and bought a few skeins of new yarn - a few from Herrschners and a few from Premier. The Herrschners yarn came in today. I will continue to make scarves with it. It's still pretty warm here but the cool temps will be here eventually. While waiting for cool to find its way to Louisiana, I'm sharing with my friend in New York.

Happy crocheting!

ZZ Twist scarves

The cranberry color doesn't come across well in the picture but it's a pretty color. ZZ Twist is discontinued. You can find some at Etsy if you're interested in trying it.

Yarn: Lion Brand ZZ Twist in cranberry

Hook: I/5.5mm Furls resin

Size: 5 3/4" x 61"

Pattern: ch 22,  double crochet across


I also finished this cowl. There wasn't enough to make a scarf. One of the colors is lilac. I didn't have a label for the other one.



Happy crocheting!

Sirdar scarf

Yarn: Sirdar Supersoft Aran Rainbow Drops, Shade 0858 Lollipop, 100% acrylic, 258 yds per skein

Hook: H/5.0mm

Pattern: dc across, ch 21

Size: 6" x 57" 


I thought I had a second full skein but come to find out it was a partial skein. Even so, I was able to get a 40" scarf from it using a ch 18 with 82 rows.

I love this yarn. The pastel colors are so pretty!  It was nice to work with. No knots. I'd definitely buy it again if I had the opportunity.

Happy crocheting!
