Scarf

 Another scarf. This one is about 6 1/2" x 63". As all the scarves the past two years or so I used leftover balls for the different colors. There are 10 rows on some and 5 rows on others. The white is I Love This Yarn and is 5 rows each section between the colored ones. I used my owl H hook by Laurie Whitaker which is one of my favorite hooks. It has a thick handle which helps my poor old hands. 

Since I had white in the scarf I decided to add a white border on this one.


Happy crocheting!

multi color scarf

I think some of the yarn in this one might have been from one of the o'go things.

I worked each color to however much it made - they were all 6 or 7 rows. Then I did three rows of black as I knew I didn't have enough to make it long enough without that addition. I got it to 6" x 58". I worked a round of single crochet as a border. 

The hook is a Snoopy I hook from Laurie. The pattern is straight dc. The chain is 20.


Happy crocheting!

Favorite Stripes scarf

Next up is a scarf made from what I'm almost sure is Red Heart Super Saver in Favorite Stripes. I used an I hook from Laurie. The black used for the single crochet border is I Love This Yarn. Size is about 6" x 66". I worked a chain of 20 with 113 rows in straight double crochet.


This one is bright, happy colors. If you're one who likes bright colors you will love this yarn. It is Red Heart so it's not really soft to work with but it wasn't too bad and I know it will soften after washing.

Happy crocheting!

Scrap scarf

Scrap scarf using H/5.0mm Tulip hook. This is truly a scrap scarf as I just grabbed the next ball I could find that was close in thickness.


Happy crocheting!

Mandala Ombre Balance

I found a skein in my stash of Lion Brand Mandala Ombre in color Balance. It was almost a full skein but not quite. I wasn't sure how far it would get me so I started with a smaller chain of 18 for a narrower scarf and worked 134 rows. Finished size is about 4 1/2" x 66" with an H Tulip hook. It's straight dc. 

I'm pleased with how it came out. It's light-weight though it is a #4 worsted yarn. I would call it light worsted. The label suggests an I hook but I chose an H and I think it worked out well.


Happy crocheting!
