Though scarfs are generally pretty easy to make.. I decide to put the pattern I made for my scarf..

Materials:

Red heart super savers gold and Burgundy

and  a K hook

Skills:

Yarn over (Yo)

Half-double crochet  (hdc)

there will be a tutorial for this later! (:

Row 1-With burgundy, chain 23, half-double crochet in second chain from hook, then hdc in each chain (22hdc) turn, ch.1

Row 2- Hdc in each hdc across(22hdc)
Row 3-9: you can do how ever many rows of each color. But I did 9.
You repeat row 2 over until you have the desired length of that square.
*At the end of row 9 do not complete your final hdc on that row, do your first YO and draw up a loop, YO again; draw up this loop, now with 3 loops on your hook, drop the burgundy(cut, leaving about a 6 inch tail for weaving in later.) and draw up the gold yarn through all three loops. Turn, ch.1.This is how I make the color switch and it looks seamless:
Row 1-Continue using the gold and follow the same established pattern, (22hdc) turn, ch.1 for 9 rows.
I then switched back to burgundy and then back to gold.  You just keep repeating until you again get the desired length of scarf.
 
Fringe: Using only burgundy, I cut sets of 3, 12 inch lengths and attached them on both ends for the fringe. I started on the second stitch in and switched between the 2 colors. so Burgundy skip a stitch, gold skip a stitch and so on. I had a total of 11 fringes on each side
Weaving in ends: I crocheted the ends in while I was going, but you can just use a needle to thread them all in.

So I set to work on my scarf and the first one I finished! Its nice and wide, also its super thick! I used a half double crochet for the entire scarf which we make the scarf nice and warm for our Minnesotan winters! Brr! Its already gotten down to 0 for the winter! So I am sure my friend will love it! I mean who doesn’t love warm scarves you can wear 3 different ways! I can post the pattern for this scarf later! (:

Getting crafty

by

I come from a family of pretty crafty people, and at a young age I wanted to be just like everyone else.

but being only 7 years old, the only thing i could make was pillows, and really really loong crochet chains. So I gave up and believed that I would never be crafty like anyone in my family.

Recently I have picked up the art of crafting again. Something just told me to try it again. Maybe it was pinterest? I am glad I did. I now have an Etsy site with my older sister, in which I have made so many items to be sent out. and it always brings me happiness when someone tells me how much they or their kids love something!

Of the things i do, I knit, I crochet, I sew, and much more. I always love seeing what comes out of hours of hard work!

Thanks!
