I decided to do one of the crochet projects today. On Tuesday my Mom and I went to Cross Plains to have lunch at Thomas Drugs, a pharmacy and soda shop. While we were there we checked out a couple of the local shops. I spoke with one of the shop owners about selling some items on consignment and we discussed my hand crocheted dish rags and scarves. So, I have been looking at different types of scarves that are comfortable, cozy, not overly difficult to make, and attractive. I got the basic idea for today's scarf from a pin on Pinterest (
http://brookeanndove.blogspot.com/p/about-me.html). However, it called for a thick yarn, which I don't keep on hand. However, the next time it is on sale at Hobby Lobby (or I have a 40% coupon) I plan to get a skein of the thick yarn to try it out also! So, of course, I modified the pattern given on the website to make the scarf work with the yarn that I did have on hand. I do not own, and I have never made one of the infinity scarves...so, that is what I made today!
(please excuse the shirt that does not match the scarf...)
My modified version:
Red Heart yarn (I only used less than half a skein to make this)
Crochet Hook I/9 - 5.5mm
* Chain 150
* Connect to beginning chain with a slip stitch, chain two (this will count as your first double crochet - on this row and each row throughout)
* Double crochet in each chain, connect to ch 2 with a slip stitch.
* Repeat double crochet until scarf is desired width.
(this picture is with 7 rows of Double Crochet....I plan to go back and add at least one row)
Good Luck! Let me know how your projects turn out!! :)
