Celeb Inspired Infinity Scarf




My inspiration



Remember as this is a Craftynovice blog, NOVICE being the operative word, everything I post on here for the most part is basic and with a few foundation techniques you should be able to make everything I write about. That said, if you have some free time, give this scarf a try.
If you've mastered the slipknot, chain and double crochet this project will be a sinch.

Matierals Needed:
2 Balls of Yarn
H Crochet Hook
Darning Needle

For this project, I used vanna's choice yarn (that's right, vanna white has her very own yarn, who knew!), and I used the following double crochet scarf pattern (similar to beginners scarf pattern with 2 extra chains)

Chain 18
Row 1: Double crochet in the 4th chain from the hook and in each chain across.
Row 2: Chain 3, turn, double crochet in each double crochet across.
Repeat Row 2 until you've used up all of the first ball of yarn and almost all of the 2nd (leave 3 feet of yarn at the end)

Your scarf should look something like this:



When you have 3 feet of yarn left, and you've reached the end of your last row, chain one, and pull the three feet of yarn all the way through the loop



Now thread the darning needle



Match up both ends of the scarf (make sure it's not twisted)



Using the darning needle, sew both ends together



After you've completed sewing both ends together, tie off and cut off excess yarn.

Now, to wear just continously wrap around your neck; all done!!

Thoughts, and a twirly scarf!

Happy Tuesday! My crafts or I should say crocheting at this point is starting to come along, apologies for not posting consistently just yet. I'm so new to crafting and the blogosphere; I've decided at this point to post at my own pace which for right now will be around twice a week. I can't wait to see this blog when it reaches its full potential; I've been browsing around DIY related blogs, and I'm absolutely amazed by the creativity not only of the projects that make their way on there but the presentation of the blogs themselves. For now as I am a NOVICE at all that is crafty and computer related, I'm using the blogger template, but up there on my priorities list is to learn to write code and create a much more ascetically pleasing blog for you all! In the meantime, here's a pretty twirly scarf to work on, it makes a great accessory for fall!


What you need:
K Crochet Hook
2 balls of yarn
scissors or darning needle

Create a slipknot
Chain 110
Row 1: Double crochet in 4th chain from the hook, *double crochet in next chain, 2 double crochet in next chain; repeat from *across
Row 2: Chain 3, turn double crochet in first double crochet, *double crochet in each of next 2 sitches, 2 double crochet in next stitch; repeat from * across
Row 3: chain 3, turn double crochet in first double crochet, *double crochet in each of next 3 stitches, 2 double crochet in next stitch; repeat from * across.
Row 4: chain 3, turn, double crochet in first double crochet, *double crochet in each of next 4 stitches, 2 double crochet in next stitch; repeat from * across.
Fasten off

TIP: the only confusing part about this pattern is the 2 double crochet, this direction actually calls for you to double crochet twice in the same chain, see youtube video below for tutorial on 2 double crochet.
