Agave bulky scarf

This #5 bulky scarf was made with an L/8.0m sonic screwdriver hook. Ther yarn is Two of Wands Hue + Me in the color Agave. I used almost 2 skeins. It is 80% acrylic and 20% wool. and was made in India. It's machine washable and dryable.


The pattern starts with a foundation dc of 15, then dc across for 90 rows. 

Finished size is 6 1/2" x 62".

I like the color of this yarn. I think I could have even gone up another hook size to give it more drape. The label recommended a K and I think that would have made it too stiff. 

Happy crocheting!

scarves

Here's what I've been working on. They're all straight double crochet and begin with a foundation dc. They are all between 6-7" and at least 60" long, most longer. You can see the hook used in the picture. The Premier Basix Mosaics (Sea and Zebra) are I hooks and the Mandala Impressions Lakeside (last pic) is an M hook.




I am having to pace myself with the arthritis in both hands but primarily in my right wrist and thumb.

Happy crocheting!

I made a second scarf exactly like this one and with the same hook. The lighting was different as the picture was taken in the bedroom but I promise it is the same yarn.
