Christmas Presents, Part II

This is another easy scarf that looks great.  I got this pattern from Made by K.  K uses her own abbreviations in the pattern, so be sure to read the beginning part so you know what she's talking about.  I used black instead of gray and alternated colors in the rounds, making 3 squares of each combination.  I also single crocheted the squares together with pink yarn.  I made the bow using DK weight yarn and an E hook.  I chained 18, then slip stitched into the first chain and then single crocheted 4 rows.  Then I wound yarn around the middle of the bow.  To do the whiskers I knotted one end of the yarn, pulled it through and then knotted it on the other side and then cut the ends to the right size.

Christmas Presents, Part I

I've been busy making Christmas presents and right now I'm using other people's patterns.  So I'll post pictures of what I'm making and links to the patterns.

This is the easiest scarf (that looks difficult) that you will ever make, because the yarn does the work for you.  It's all done in single crochet and there are only 4 stitches per row.  To make a nice long one like this, use 2 skeins of either Sashay or Starbella yarn.  Also, be sure to use a large hook, it makes it a lot easier to see the stitches.  I used an L Hook. The technique for using ruffle yarn is a little different, so check out this Sashay tutorial from Red Heart Yarn, before you start.  To keep the ends from unraveling and to make them look a little neater, I just used a needle and matching thread to sew up the ends.  It won't show because the ruffle covers it up.

Happy Hooking!!
