Open Checker Mobius

This pattern is very simple and can be customized very easily. For a more open, airy feeling use a more delicate yarn, like mohair; however this project looks great in a worsted or bulky weight yarn as well.

Beginning: ch 36

Row 1: Skip 3ch, 1dc into each of next 2 ch, *3ch, skip 3ch**, 1dc in each of next 3ch; rep from * to last ch ending at **, 1dc in last st, turn.

Row2: 3ch, 2 dc in first ch sp, *3ch, 3 dc in next 3ch sp; rep from * to end, 3ch, 1 dc in top of turn ch from Row 1.

Repeat Row 2 until mobius reaches desired length then use slip stitches to attach the ends together to form a continu-ous scarf.

Cupcake Scarf

I made this awesome hat for my little sister and decided that it needed a scarf. I really love the wattle stitch and I had been dying to find a project to try it out on and this was the one. I love the way it turned out and couldn’t be happier to share the pattern here:

I was inspired to make this scarf to match these cupcake hat patterns that I discovered on Ravelry.com. I used the two patterns to create this hat:

Sparkly Infinity Scarf

Today I got new yarn and decided on working on a pattern that I’ve had my eye on for some time. The pattern comes from the May/June 2011 Crochet Today! Magazing, pages 40-41: Infinity Scarf. I chose a yarn that is a fingering weight and is sparkly- Vanna’s Glamour in Sapphire! So far the stitches are fun and each row is different which keeps me on my toes. There is nothing worse than starting something and getting bored after the second row, so far so good on that one. Here’s a picture of my progress so far…
