Scarf, Hat, & Mittens

This set was done for a 9 year old girl for Christmas. The scarf and hat are crocheted and the mittens are knitted.

Waves Sock Yarn Scarf

This crocheted scarf is made with sock yarn from Enchanted Knoll Farm. It is 5 1/2" wide and 66" long. The pattern can be found here www.twistyarnshop.com/patterns/NancysWavesScarf.pdf
I used a size F crochet hook.

Flower Fun

The first picture is crocheted flowers and the second picture is felt flowers. It is fun making them. I like to put them on purses. They would also be really cute attached to a hat or a hair clip.

Neck Wrap

This is a crocheted scarf. The pattern can be found on naturallycaron.com. It is called the Champlain One Skein Neckwrap. I used Michael's Impeccable yarn and a vintage button. It didn't take long to make at all. Very warm and cozy.

Spiral Brim Hat

This is a knitted hat with a spiral brim. I got the pattern here: http://helpinghearts0.tripod.com/id7.html

I had a little problem with it. I cast on 80 stitches like the pattern says for the adult size. For the brim to make the spiral the pattern has to move over one stitch on each round. If you cast on 80 it will move over 2 stitches. You have to cast on a multiple of 6 plus or minus 1. So I did 79 stitches and it worked fine. If you want the spirals to go the other direction cast on 77 stitches. The only other problem I had is that 6 inches from the beginning to start decreasing is too short for an adult hat. I had to go 8 inches from the beginning before I started before I started to decrease. I used Red Heart Soft and size 8 needles.

Crochet Hooks

These are my crochet hooks. I have seven G hooks, and four H hooks. I steel hooks I have 4 size 10, and 4 size 5. As you can see I have all the rest of the sizes too. The really big ones and the tunisian hooks won't fit in this case.

Sock Yarn Scarf

This is a crocheted sock yarn scarf. It is done with sock yarn from Enchanted Knoll Farm. The color is called Big Sky. I used a Size F crochet hook. It is 6" wide and about 65" long. I used a stitch called the "Arch Stitch". I got the pattern for the stitch out of the Leisure Arts book "63 Easy-To-Crochet Pattern Stitches."

2 knitted scarves

These 2 scarves are knitted lengthwise. I used worsted weight yarn, probably Impeccable, Red Heart soft, or Vanna's Choice. I don't remember which. I donated them to the WWII museum.

Scarf

This is a knitted scarf made with 5 different yarns. They are black, white, and red. They are different textures, which results in a very interesting and soft scarf.

Saroyan Scarf

This is my newest scarf. The pattern is called the Saroyan. It was designed by Liz Abinante. I got the pattern from Ravelry. I used 2 skeins of Lion Brand Wool Ease. The color is called Autumn. It is difficult to see in the picture but one edge is straight and the other edge has a leaf pattern. It is narrow in each end and goes straight in the middle.

Knitted lapghan

This is a diagonal knitted lapghan that I will donate to the St. Ann Sewing Seams of Faith group. It is knitted with Michael's Impeccable Yarn in true gray, burgundy, and aran.

Bonnet, Booties, & Mittens

This is a baby set consisting of a crocheted bonnet, crocheted booties, and knitted mittens. All three are made with TLC Baby Yarn. The color is called Girlie Girl. The bonnet is my design. The booties are from a Leisure Arts booklet, Blankets & Booties. The mittens are a pattern off of the internet.

Round Ripple

This is a green and yellow round ripple Baby Afghan crocheted with Red Heart Baby Sport Pompadour yarn. I had started it a while back and put it aside to work on other stuff. I finally pulled it out and finished it.

Placemats

I made these placemats a long time ago. They are crocheted with 100% cotton yarn. I use them on the kitchen table all the time. They wash very well. The cotton yarn doesn't get fuzzy like acrylic yarn would after washing.

Earflap Hats

Keep the wind out of baby's ears! These earflap hats are crocheted with soft acrylic yarn. A tie under the chin to keep it snug. These are newborn - 6 months, 6 - 12 months, and 12 - 18 months. They can also be made for older kids and adults. Low price right now only $10 each.

Red Vestments

Here is Bryan wearing his red vestments. We both like the silver trim instead of gold on the front of the red. The red fleur-de-lis on the sleeves and bottom of the alb are really nice with the red chasuble. There is also a stole, which he is wearing but you can't see, a Chalice Veil, and a Burse that all match.

Crocheted Dish Cloths

I thought I would try making my crocheted dish cloths a little smaller than I used to. These are about 5 1/2 inches by 6 1/2 inches. I think the smaller size will be very efficient. The colors I have right now are Hot purple, red, lt. blue, yellow, tangerine, psychedelic, mod green, purple, and hot pink. Just for now I am selling these for 4 for $5.

Prayer Blanket

This is a Prayer Blanket to be donated. Four of the squares are made with Tunisian Crochet. The other five are knitted. I did the Tunisian squares. I did not not do the knitted ones. They were given to me.

Hats and Mittens

These hats and mittens are knitted with 100% acrylic yarn. They should fit a 2 to 3 year old. These are probably for donation but I sell similar sets for $15.

New Scarf

This is a brown, orange, and yellow scarf knitted with 6 different yarns: No Boundries 100% polymide, Bernat Matrix, Size 10 cotton thread, Bernat Bamboo, Samba polyester yarn, and Caron Simply Soft. It is 4 1/2 inches wide and 70 inches long without the fringe. This scarf sells for $15.00.
