Yarn: Premier Basix Mosaic Grapevine, 2 skeins
Hooks: I and H hooks by Laurie Whitaker
Size: 7 1/2" x 61 1/2"
Pattern: foundation dc 22, 113 rows of dc with a round of sc for a border
I used the stacked dc for this one. It is supposed to make the edges straight but I didn't find that to be so. I decided it needed a border. I had enough yarn left on the second skein so I was able to do it in the same yarn.
Happy crocheting!

I was working on two scarves at the same time and I managed to actually finish both. I knew I wouldn't have enough of the Mosaic Zebra so I planned to add some I Love This Yarn black which would coordinate. The trick here is that since I didn't know how far the Zebra would go I worked it until I ran out then I added the rows of black. THEN I turned it around and added the same number of rows of black on the other end. Voila!
Finished size is 7" x 68 1/2".
Pattern: foundation dc 20, work 15 rows of the black on each end, the rest is Zebra (I think it was 92 or 94 rows). I added a single crochet border in black to pull it all together.
Hooks: I (for the body) and H (for the border - 2 sc around each dc)
Happy crocheting!

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!

Here's my latest scarf.
Yarn: Lion Brand Heartland Thick and Quick #6 Super bulky, color Belle Isle. Skeins are 5 oz/124yds each. I used two skeins
Hook: L/8mm custom hook in the shape of a sonic screwdriver
Size: 6 1/2" x 61"
Pattern: foundation dc 15, dc across, work for 91 rows
The actual color of this yarn is a bit darker than pictured. I pulled a picture of the skein from LB website to get the right color.
Happy crocheting!

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!
