Himalayan Salt scarf

Yarn: Yarnspirations Caron Simply Soft Speckle in color Himalayan Salt, 100% acrylic.Skeins are 5 oz, 235 yards.

Hook: #7/4.5mm

Size: 5 1/2" x 64"


My thought was that the smaller hook would make close knit stitches for better warmth. It may have made a slight difference but of course made it smaller as well. I should have made my starting chain longer to make up the difference. People come in all sizes though so hopefully it will keep someone warm. 

Happy crocheting!

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!
