Scarf for Hubby

Every once in awhile hubby whines "You never make me anything." LOL
I was making a scarf for my brother with this leftover yarn I had (no pics) & this is what I heard. It's not true, but you know. LOL So I had to make him one too. I ran low on yarn so he now complains that I didn't make his as long. (men ...sheesh)

ch22, Ihook, Redheart Plush(discontinued)

sc rows till is length you want changing colors for stripes.

Lucy Scarf

Lucy of Attic24 posted her scarf. http://attic24.typepad.com/weblog/2009/09/cicles-scarf.html I just had to give it a try. This was a Christmas gift for a friend. I used Caron's simply soft & H hook. It's not as wide as hers & I had to make about 40 circles for the length.

Skinny Spiral Scarf

I made another spiral scarf & pattern.

This one is a little different then the others. It's made with Caron's simply soft & it's thinner.

ch220, 2hdc in each ch, turn

2dc in each hdc, turn

2sc in each dc, finish off.

I changed color on each row. It turned out so soft & pretty.

Crohook Scarf

Cro-hooking(double ended crochet) was the first type of crochet I learned to do. And for me it is the most relaxing form of crochet I've found. I love to get into a blanket, find my rythym & cruise along.

And the blankets made this way are so warm. It also makes very cozy scarfs & shawls. Here's a little one I made for a niece for Xmas. I think it turned out cute.

Here's a link to a tutorial on cro-hooking. http://www.crochetcabana.com/specialty/crochet-double.htm I work through the horizontal loop like in the second sequence.

Happy Halloween all!!! I thought tonight I'd get caught up on project pics.(i've fallen behind...bad shelley)

Here's all the ruffled girly scarfs I've done. Aren't the colors just delish.

And here's my stripey boy scarfs. Plain & simple, but oh so stylish. I'll put up a pattern soon.

And yummy scrap-granny-hexagon-afghan progress. I'm having way to much fun using up my scraps.

OMG!! It's nearly Christmas!

I say every year that I'm gonna get done with presents early. That never happens. LOL I've just start on some projects for all the nieces for Christmas. I'm gonna make them winter sets.

I first saw these scarfs over on scrapbook.com in ScrappingGal57's gallery. So I googled to find a pattern, but once I got the concept, I just kinda made up my own. The same with the wristies. These work up pretty fast, so I should have plenty of time before the holidays.

Flower Scarf

I saw this idea over on Applehead's blog, to make a scarf out of flowers. Here's her blog. http://applehead.typepad.com/applehead/
Here's her original post that inspired me. http://applehead.typepad.com/applehead/2006/05/100_flower_scar.html
Here's the pattern for her scarf. http://applehead.typepad.com/applehead/2006/05/100_flower_scar_1.html

Here's my take on that. It's not the same, but definately inspired by hers.



The small & medium flowers are made first then you connect them together with the large flowers in the last round.



Small Flower~with color 1 & hook G make 4. start with magic ring method. 5sc into ring. slst into first sc. Tighten ring. Then in first sc *ch 2, 2dc, ch2 slst back into sc* repeat from *to* in each sc (5 petals) finish off & weave in ends.



Medium Flower~ With color 2 & hook H make 4. Start with magic ring method. Ch 3, 9 dc into ring, slst in to top of ch 3. Tighten ring. *Ch2, 3dc in next dc, ch2, slst into next dc* repeat from*to* around.(5 petals) Finish off & weave in ends. This is the flower pattern I got on Little birdie's secrets blog. Here's my post with a link to it. http://crochetedsass.blogspot.com/2009/08/little-birdies-flowers.html



Large Flower~ with color 3 & hook J make 9.(attaching in the 2nd & 5th petals, except for the end ones attach those in just the 5th.) Ch3,9dc into ring, slst into top of ch3, *ch3,skip next dc, slst into next dc* repeat rom*to* around. (5 ch3 loops) In each ch3 loop^sc, 4dc, sc^. To attach flowers after second dc in petal make a slst in to the tip of the other flowers petal. slst into first sc of first petal. Finish off & weave in ends.

Hope my pattern is clear. Feel free to ask questions & I'll do my best to answer them.
