Frilly Scarf

FRILLY SCARF



Yarn required: Worsted weight 2 skeins (or more) main colour, 1 skein offset colour

Hook Size: 5mm

Stitches used: Single Crochet (SC)
                        Standing Single Crochet
                        Double Crochet (DC)
                        Chain (CH)
                        Slip Stitch (SS)

My apologies for any inaccuracies you might find. Most of my patterns are made on the fly and I never write them down. I am going through the scarf and counting the stitches and writing this down now. This came about after seeing how many gals (and guys) out there would share their own designs and I learned now TO WRITE THEM DOWN when I make them.

Pattern: Chain any length in groups of 10 or 5. Shown here is about ch 215 plus 3

Row 1: 2 DC in 4th chain from hook. 2 DC in each stitch across, CH 3 and turn. 

This is the start of the frill. Don't worry if you count is not accurate. You can make adjustments throughout and they won't show.

Row 1: 2 DC in 1st DC, 2 DC in each DC across. Ch 1, turn. 

You will see your work definitely taking on the spiral shape now. If your count is off by 1 or 2 it can be corrected in the next row.

Row 3: SC in 1st DC, *ch 3, skip 1 DC, SC in next DC* Repeat * to * to end. Ch 3, turn. 

Make sure you have a SC in the last DC and in the 1st DC of this round. If you are off by 1 or 2 you can easily adjust by skipping 2 towards the end before doing your next SC anywhere along the scarf. It will not affect the end result.

Row 4: (Ch 3 at end of row 3 counts as 1st DC) 4 DC in first CH 3 space (Total 5 DC), *SC in next CH 3 space, 5 DC in next CH 3 space* Repeat from * to *  to end. 

Don't worry if you end up with a SC at the end even though the row started with a group of 5 DC. It's not exactly symmetrical. If you want to make adjustments to make it symmetrical, by all means do so!

Row 5: *Ch 5, SC in centre DC of 1st 5 DC group (3rd DC), ch 5, SC in SC*, Repeat * to * to end.

Mine ended with a SC in 3rd DC and ch 3 and DC in top of CH 3 from previous round. Finish of main colour.

Attach offset colour with Standing SC to 1st loop. If it is a full CH 5 loop then do 9 SC in each loop across. If it is a CH 3 & DC loop, then I put 4 SC in this loop and 9 SC across.

Here are shots of both ends of my scarf.




Scarf is finished. Ta da!

Girlie-girlie Dog Sweater & Rough and Ready Dog sweater

This pattern calls for expert or advanced knowledge of design as it is organic and changes with the size of each dog. The first template being shown is made for a slightly chubby but very adorable little Berna-doodle named Ivy. There is a slit in the back for those who use halters instead of collars when walking your dog. You can make it without the slit if you just use a collar. Yarn required: worsted weight less than a skein per colour. Shown in photo using Red Heart Comfort yarn - 16 oz - 867 yard balls. No dye lot in pink. Also, Red Heart Comfort variegated yarn - 12 oz - 646 yard balls. I'm pretty sure you would use less than a Red Heart Super Saver Big ball of yarn. Hook size: Even though the yarn mentioned above called for a 5.5mm hook, I used a 5mm hook. Stitches used: SC for body, SC in back loop for collar, DC for legs and skirt frill. You need to measure from the bottom of the neck under the dog to the start of the front legs for the 1st

Shoulder Shawl

SHOULDER SHAWL Yarn required: 2 skeins Caron Simply Soft Hook Size: 5mm (H or 8) Stitches used: DC, chain, V-stitch using DC (DC, ch 1, DC)  Skill level: Intermediate to advanced I apologize in advance for the quality of the garment in the photos. I made it a long time ago and it gets well-worn each winter. All of the others I have made have been donated to charity. Even though it appears to be a light and airy shoulder shawl it is quite warm and does use up the better part of 2 skeins. PATTERN START: Chain 90 plus 2, turn Row 1: sc in 3rd stitch and in each chain across, ch 1, turn Round 2 to 7: repeat round 1, except on round 7 ch 4 (counts as 1st dc and sc on next round) before turn. Note: (You might like to place stitch markers at each shoulder start and finish on this next round and carry them forward as you work.) Row 8: DC, ch 1 in next 18 sts (total of 19 DC including ch 3 start), V-stitch in next stitch (start of shoulder)

  A great way to use up excess yarn, especially the ugly stuff you might not like. Some mats might be pretty, some might be ugly, but all will be surprisingly spongy and a perfect cat magnet. CAT MAT #3 I am making a granny square using a 2 half-double crochet cluster (HDC) instead of 3 double crochet. The shell stich is also made with HDC instead of DC. The finished mat is around 19" x 13" Supplies needed are: 5mm/I/9 hook Any worsted weight yarn Stitches used are half-double crochet, standing HDC, standing single crochet, single crochet and chain stitch.  There are many tutorials on how to make the HDC and the Standing Stitch, so I won't describe it here. Make the pad 20 rounds if using a thin yarn like Caron Simply Soft, or 18 rounds using a thicker yarn. Make 2 pads. Finish off the loose ends before joining them together. To start the mat, chain 18, then do 1 hdc in 3rd chain from hook, 2 ch (starting HDC cluster) and 2 HDC (HDC cluster) in same stitch. (This is the s
