Men's Black

This scarf was made using a 9mm hook and Lion Brand Hometown USA bulky yarn, Oakland Black.  The pattern is worked length wise:  hdc on front loop for one row, then hdc on back hook for the next row, and continuing in that manner until the last row which was worked through both loops.  It measures 4 1/2" X 63 1/2".

Red Fisherman

Here's a classic style scarf (Fisherman) breaking tradition in bright red.  The yarn is Premier Yarns Everyday (Medium weight, 4 ply) in "Really Red."  Using hook I for the body and cables and hook K for the bobbles made the measurements come out to 4 1/2" x 40 1/2".

The picture isn't very good, because of the dreary day today (snow and ice), but the cables and bobbles still show -- so good enough, huh? 

Blue Boys'

   Form MUST follow function.  Ok, that's just my opinion: but, I honestly don't understand flat roofs in Indiana, dressers with tiny drawers, and winter scarves that don't keep out the cold and won't stay wrapped around a neck.  Super long and solid scarves for me.  I just hope the people I am making these for agree!

Lion Brand Hometown USA Chicago Charcoal  $2.99 per skein

Yarn Bee MadCap Navy  $7.99 per skein

The pattern I used was a simple single crochet, chain one pattern.  The Mad Cap yarn is flat and almost velvety to the touch.  I can't decide it I like it mixed with the bulky Lion Brand yarn.  Maybe, I should have held the Lion Brand in with the MadCap.  Hmmmm....

5 1/2 X 58 1/2

There is about 5 or 6 inches of snow on the ground -- perfect scarf weather.

Hope you are staying warm!

Amelia's Scarf

   After deciding that the pink and orange pom-pom scarf is going to go in the Good-Will bin, I went shopping for yarns that I like better.  And I think I found the type yarn that the girls' scarves will mainly be made with.  Yarn Bee Soft Illusions. (Of-course, I am likely to change my mind again later).  It is made for Hobby Lobby and sells for $6.49 per skein.
   I tested different stitches with the yarn and decided that I like the way the scarf hangs when using a simple half-double crochet stitch.  I used a size M crochet hook.  It measures  5 1/2" x 47" and took almost 2 skeins to make.

This one is for Amelia:

Can you tell it is fuzzy?
