Mantra scarf and peppermint hook

Yarn: Lion Brand Mandala Ombre in color Mantra. Cakes are 5.3oz/ 344 yds. I used the whole cake. 

Size: 6" x 63"

Hook: I/5.5mm peppermint hook by Laurie Whitaker - no you can't eat it and it doesn't smell like peppermint but it's really pretty!



Pattern: ch 22, one row sc, one row dc. 
For my dc rows, I did a ch-1 and worked the dc in the first stitch rather than the second as is normally done. I think it worked out well and there was no hole when I started a new row.


Happy crocheting!

Size: 7" x 68"

Pattern: ch 24,  straight dc, 130 rows

Hook: H/5.0 - the same one as in the previous post as this one seems to work well with this yarn


I think I cut out two knots but that's not too bad.

Here's a second scarf with the same yarn. Size and hook are the same as well. Finished 6-1-2026.



Happy crocheting!

Bay scarf

Yarn: Yarnspirations Caron Cinnamon Swirl Cakes in color Bay. Skeins are 8 0z, 407 yds. I used the full skein

Size: 6 1/2" x 73"

Pattern: ch 24,  straight dc, 140 rows

Hook: H/5.0 (This was a gift from my friend Fran a couple years ago)



Although this cake is the same brand as the previous post I had no trouble with it. There was not a single knot to cut out. The yarn went further than the other cake though they are supposedly the same length. I also love the colors in it but y'all know I'm a fan of blues.

Happy crocheting!
