Post 13: Extended Loop Scarf

My mommie’s birthday is  August 11th and i have been wanting to make her a scarf for a long time. I have crochet a lot of stuff but i have never made her anything because i never think anything is good enough.  Well, i finally decided on a pattern  and yarn.  I used caron spa yarn in this beautiful green, my mom loves green. I had actually watched a lady doing broomstick lace and i realized that i liked it before this twisted so i bought a wooden dowel from home depot cause it had a perfect 1.5 inch diameter. My only issue it the dowel was that it was very long and they give u a saw in the aisle and u can cut the dowel down to the right length. I almost cut off my hand trying to use a hand saw, in the end i asked some guy to cut off a shorter piece for me.

I love the way that it came out.

Post 9: Scarve, scarves, and more scarves

I LOVE SCARVES. I love fall and all the clothings that comes along with it. I love cooler temps,  so when i can get my sweaters, turtle necks, scarves, books, fall hats to come out, i race to do it. This is just a post to show that scarves that i have made for myself so far.

Pics 1-3:

This is the bow tie pattern done in Caron Simply Soft Shadows “Dark Moss“.

Pics 4-7:

This was done with Vanna’s Choice yarn. I carried both strands of yarn at all times, which added it cool stretch to the scarf. It was two rows of dc, color a, to one row of dc, color b.  I finished with a border of sc in color b.  I actually made this for my lil brother, because he loves orange, but it didn’t go well with his skin, so my gain.

Pics 8-10:

This was my first try at the circular scarf. I believe i did a chain of around 230. They only things annoying in this piece was making sure not to twist that base chain as i was doing that first row of sc. I have no  idea what the yarn is but i did buy it at ATS. The pattern that you see is completely by accident and really like it.  I think i get complimented on this scarf more than all others.

Pics 11-12:

This was the first scarf that i EVER made. Its done in bulky yarn by Red Heart, similar to this.  The body is done in tunisian crochet stitches and the border is just dont by doing 3 tr in the first stitch of each row and corners. This scarf had been through 6 good years with me and its hasnt fallen apart yet.

Pics 13-16:

I personally dont like this color  but i this was first try at ribbing.  All the row are worked only in the back loops of the previous row. I tried to get the pics at an angle where it could be seen, but i didnt do so great of a job. I love the feel of the scarf but not the color.

Pics 17-19:

I call this my lion scarf. I just had a lot of this yellow yarn, from a yarn bender i had went on months before, and i wanted to experiment with tr stitches. Im not a fan of the tr stitch because mine were never consistent, so i decided to make a scarf that alternated tr stitches with sc stitches.  After i finished, i can say that my tr stitches are awesome.  This scarf is very long and i reserve it for the coldest days. I also love the scalloped border.

As i said : I LOVE SCARVES. These scarves will definitely be joined by others before this fall comes around.

In a later post, i will share all the scarves that i have made for my older sis. She is the person who taught me how to crochet.
