scrap scarf

I finished using the full skeins I had so I decided to use the leftovers from those for another scarf. The yarns were close in thickness - the Mandala Ombre and the Caron Cinnamon Swirl Cakes.


Finished size is 6" x 60" made with an H hook. It says "Family, where life begins and love never ends."



Pattern is 21 hdc stitches across. I started and ended with one row dc only because I worked a dc row before I decided to make it hdc. LOL

Happy crocheting!

Caron Simply Me scarf

Yarn: 2 skeins Caron Simply Me Mosaic in Purple Agate. This is a #5 weight yarn, 5 oz, 173 yds per skein, 62% acrylic, 20% nylon, 18% wool

Hook: J/6.0mm by Laurie Whitaker

Size: 7" x 61"

Pattern: ch 24, dc across, 106 rows


I was not too happy with this yarn. The strands separated and ended up as in the picture below. I cut out a few knots but couldn't cut out every instance of these. Although it's soft enough I wouldn't recommend it.


Happy crocheting!
