Crochet Ribbed Scarf. It’s like knitting, only better!

Crochet Ribbed Scarf. It’s like knitting, only better!
December 1, 2010 by admin Knitted scarves are beautifully and soft, but they take FOREVER to make (to a crocheter anyway) Crochet scarves are often kinda ugly and kinda stiff; crochet is more dense than knitting, and doesnt have the nice soft drape. That is, Until now! I experimented with a lot of stitches to find one that would LOOK nice (on BOTH sides of the piece, who wants a one-sided scarf?) There were a few stitches that fit one or two of those categories; there is a single crochet ribbing technique that has a nice look and feel, but single crocheting an entire scarf takes awhile. What I finally settled on is this beautiful variation of a half double crochet stitch. What this half double crochet variation does is allow the top of the crochet stitch, which looks like a line of knitting, to appear on the work: Here’s how it’s done: **You will need to know how to half double crochet to make this ribbed stitch. 1. 2. **You won’t really see the ribbing effect until after a few rows.

It is a super-thick, soft, cushy scarf. It looks beautiful on both sides and is lots of fun to knit once you get the hang of it. Remember that you are only cabling every 12 rows, so the rest of it is just ordinary brioche stitch.

Edited to add: Slip all stitches purlwise with yarn held in front throughout. When cabling on row 11 and 23, 2 of the 6 stitches you slip onto the cable needle will be yarn-overs from the previous row. CO 26 sts Set-up row: K1, *sl 1, yo, k1; repeat from * to last stitch, k1.

Men’s Mini Herringbone Scarf I have accumulated quite a bit of neckwear over the years. Some bright, some bulky, some sleek, lots ecru, but hands-down, what earns me the most compliments is my Big Herringbone Cowl, scooped off these pages of the Purl Bee! It is undeniably wonderful. After making one for myself, I was hooked on herringbone. It creates a flat, woven-like fabric on one side while remaining quite lofty and full on the other. My scarf counterpart to Whitney’s cowl showcases a mini-herringbone pattern, bordered by slip stitch rib edges. Materials 2 skeins of Swan’s Island’s Worsted. Gauge 7 1/2 stitches = 1 inch in stitch pattern Size 7 1/2 inches wide by 62 inches long Notes All slipped stitches are to be slipped purl-wise. The Mini Herringbone Stitch is always worked over an odd number of stitches. Mini Herringbone Stitch Wrong Side (WS): * P2tog and leave stitches on needle, purl the first stitch again and drop both stitches together from left-hand needle, repeat from * to last stitch, p1.

String With Style Free Pattern: One Row Lace Scarf Here is the pattern for my One Row (reversible) Lace Scarf: This pattern makes a beautiful reversible lace scarf that can be knitted in all kinds of different yarns. An opportunity to use that fingering weight wool, soft alpaca, perhaps some of your sock yarn, sport weight yarn or worsted weight, I've even used a fuzzy yarn (Pep) for this scarf. Materials: I used 45 g (~175 yards) of a superfine alpaca yarn. The scarf is about 13 x 150 cm (~5 x 60 inches) unblocked, and it's very stretchy in both width and length. Needles: 6 mm (US 10). Use bigger needles than the yarn usually calls for. Gauge (not important): 8 sts = 5 cm (2 inches) in pattern. Skill level: Easy(/Intermediate) Note: This will make an (unblocked) width of about 13 cm (about 5 inches).

Crochet - Collar Pattern Crochet Collar Pattern This pattern is for an adult version *If you would prefer to print/save this pattern there is now a downloadable PDF file at the end of the pattern. Pattern written in UK terms Hook: 4mm Yarn: For Lulu's smaller collar I used Sidar Snuggly Baby Bamboo, but my yellow collar was worked in Wool Rich Heritage 4ply so feel free to experiement - If you'd like a more delicate collar try some lace or sock weight yarn with a smaller hook. Stitches: Ch = Chain Htr = Half Treble (US HDC) Tr = Treble (US DC) For the foundation row you need to chain in multiples of 4 until you get the desired length but first you need to chain a few extra to save for a button loop. The length of your starting chain will depend on the size of your neck and whether you want to wear it with a high or low cut top/dress. Foundation: Ch 5 (or however many to fit around your button) Ch 84 + 2 for turning (91 turning chains count as 1htr in Row 1) Row 1, End of row 1 should look something like this: Row 2, Row 3,

Giganto-blanket - finished! | Nocturnal KnitsNocturnal Knits - Ruminations on knitting at 3 a.m. and home of the Giganto-blanket. Buy the tutorial and pattern on Ravelry Buy tutorial and pattern on Etsy Want me to make you one? Have questions about the giganto-blanket? Giganto-blanket is finished! It’s squishy and huge and pretty amazing, if I do say so myself. If you read my previous post about giganto-blanket, you may notice that the gauge is much different from how it started. But the broomsticks proved to be just too small for this project. The cats really love it. A friend of mine asked for a video of the knitting process, so I recorded a (low-quality) video of this madness. Like this: Like Loading...

Spraymålade burkar – Spray painted cans & jars När Karin & Freja på Pysselbolaget skapade sin lyxiga småförvaring härom dagen fick jag inspiration att göra något fint av mina gamla smink- och syltburkar. Du behöver: Gamla burkar, leksaksfigurer (t ex lego, plastdjur eller KinderEgg-prylar), superlim och sprayfärg. Gör så här: Rengör burkarna (plast- eller glasburkar spelar ingen roll), ta bort gamla etiketter och limma fast dina figurer på locken med superlim. När limmet torkat är det bara att börja spraymåla. When Karin & Freja at Pysselbolaget created their luxurious small storage the other day I got the inspiration to make something pretty out of my old cosmetic containers and jam jars. You will need: Empty cans or jars, toy figurines (such as Lego, plastic animals or KinderEgg-stuff), super glue and spray paint. Do like this: Clean the jars (plastic or glass doesn’t matter) and remove old labels. Jag höll till utomhus och sprayade föremålen inuti en papperspåse för att inte färgen skulle spridas sig.
