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 thought this might be of interest to those who wondered what the difference is between yarn over and yarn under. Video reel by Michael Sellick of the Crochet Crowd. https://www.facebook.com/reel/931243545910543

Remember yo-yos, granny dadughters and saltines? I was just looking it up today at Crochet Cabana's wordpress. The site is not updated as I ran out of space there but the info is still there.
Here is the scarf I finished tonight. It's I Love This Yarn red and made with an I/5.5mm hook.
The pattern is straight dc. I started with a foundation dc of 20 and worked 120 rows.
Finished size is 6 1/2" x 63".
Happy crocheting!

Hook: I/5.5mm
Size: 7" x 61"
Pattern: Bev's Women's Conference Scarf ch 22.
I caught a great skein. Not a single knot or bad spot to cut out! Easy to work with.
Happy crocheting!

Last scarf with this yarn.
I accidentally grabbed an I/5.5mm hook rather than the H I was going for but it worked out okay. The scarf is 6" x 60". The color in this picture shows up better than the others I took with the previous I Love This Yarn Oasis Beat scarves. I had enough to put a single crochet border around it.
Happy crocheting!

Yarn: I Love This Yarn Oasis Beat (I needed more than one skein to make the scarf and border. I did have enough to put a border on the previous scarf made with this yarn.)
Hook: H/5.0mm Tulip Etimo
Size: 6 1/2 x 64"
Pattern: fdc 22, dc across for 120 rows. I added a round of single crochet for a border
Happy crocheting!

Yarn: Premier Basix in color Pecan. This is the last of this yarn.
Size: I was able to get a scarf 5 1/2" x 54", a bit shy of my 60" goal but will do for someone. I know some organizations ask for even shorter scarves due to safety issues with length.
Hook: J/6.0mm
Pattern: fdc 16, I got 97 rows out of what I had
Happy crocheting!

Yarn: Yarn Bee Soft & Sleek in color Teal Blue. I used almost two skeins
Size: about 6" x 61"
Hook: J/6.0mm
Pattern: fdc 18, dc for 110 rows
On one of the skeins I had to cut out a few "joins" that were pretty obvious. The other skein was fine.
The yarn is what I consider heavy worsted. Hence the use of the J hook.
Happy crocheting!

Salena Baca posted this free Ombre Beanie hat pattern. I like that she gives different sizes and so much instruction. If you like to make hats or am ready to make your first hat, give it a look.
Here's another scarf.
Yarn: I Love This Yarn Oasis Beat.
Hook: H/5.0mm
Size: 5 1/2" x 64"
Pattern: ch 21, dc across.
Happy crocheting!

Starting the year off with a peacock scarf. I didn't have a full skein so to make sure I got the length I needed I made this one slightly less wide.
Yarn: Premier Basix in color Peacock
Hook: J/6.0mm
Size: 5 1/" x 63"
Pattern: fdc 16, 110 rows of dc
Happy crocheting!
