Pattern #9 - Long Stripe Scarf

[image]

Materials:

2 skeins of your favorite yarn, in at least two colors (I used Bernat Softee Chunky)
crochet hook to match gauge of your chosen yarn (I chose size M)

Gauge: n/a

Finished size: 8" x 72", or whatever dimensions you like for a scarf.

Instructions:

Make a chain the desired length of your scarf, in multiples of 2 stitches, plus 2 more.
Sc in second chain from hook, *chain 1, skip a chain, sc in next chain; repeat from * all the way across the chain. Change colors.
Sc in first stitch, sc in next ch-1 space, *chain 1, skip next stich, sc in next ch-1 space; repeat from * all the way across. You should have one sc left over - sc in last stitch, ch 1 and turn.
Sc in first stitch, *chain 1, skip next stitch, sc in next ch-1 space; repeat from * all the way across. Change colors.
Repeat steps 3 and 4 until your desired width is reached. Weave in ends and finish.

You can make this in any weight yarn you like, with as many colors as you like. You can also use a Caron Cake or some other self-striping yarn for a neat effect. If you are not manually changing colors, then finish step 3 with a chain 1 and turn.

Project #5 - Susquehanna University scarves

Started: Before 10/1/2023 Finished: 10/24/2023 My youngest daughter is attending Susquehanna University in Pennsylvania, and I am so proud of her. But she was born and raised in South Carolina - winter is going to be cruel for her. I decided to make her scarves in her school colors - maroon and orange. I had the hardest time finding yarn for the project, but ended up with Bernat Softee Chunky in Pumpkin and Wine. It was quite a bit more expensive than I wanted, but it was worth it. [image] Her roommate has been very generous and a great friend to her, so I decided to make a scarf for her, as well. My other daughter is visiting Pennsylvania this weekend, so I had to hurry up and finish the scarves for her to take along. I decided to go with a V-stitch for the first one . I love the V-stitch. It looks so complicated, but is so easy to work. The second scarf is a seed stitch pattern, worked the long way for easy stripes. The great thing about both of these patterns is that they can be ...

Outlander Inspired Fingerless Mitts

I love fingerless gloves. They're especially handy keeping my hands warm while playing the violin outdoors in the winter. I had crocheted a pair several years ago, but one went by way of the sock trick (you know - you put two in the wash, and only one comes out?). Anyway, around my third time through the Outlander TV series, I started taking more notice of the outfits and accessories the women were wearing. Since I had a need, I decided to have another go at a pair of fingerless gloves, and this is what I came up with. Enjoy! I started by measuring around my palm, at the base of my index and pinky fingers. I measured my right hand, since it's a little bigger. In fact, I couldn't find my tape measure, so my daughter put a piece of washi tape around my hand, then stuck it to a piece of paper. I cast on my stitches until they were the same length, then added two stitches for the seam. Working in a flat piece, I started with about an inch of seed stitch, then separa...
