Ribbed Striped Scarf



Ribbed Striped Scarf

I had some left over DK wool after designing my Adult ribbed bobble hat so I thought I would make a scarf to match.  I wanted to have long stripes for easy colour work and to give it a long, flowing feel.  This scarf can be easily adapted to suit you as you can make it as long or short as you wish.  I have just put how many stitches I used but it can easily be shortened to make a great kids scarf or longer if you like to be able to repel down a second story window using it!  The use of the textured ribbing and front and back loop crochet makes it a very soft and squishy scarf.  I haven't made it too wide because I sometimes find very wide scarves too bulky with my fitted jackets.  

This is a great project that you can just get going and not think too much about.  It is also good for a beginner who wants to try using more textured stitches in their work and wants a project that they can work up quickly and wear anytime.

Texture detail


NOTE: The ribbed edging to this scarf means you keep to the same stitch for these rows so in the previous row you did a raised treble front you will also do it in the current row.  This will mean your stitches line up.  If you alternate between rows it will have a very different effect.

College Stripe Blanket (US terms) Printable PDF available from Ravelry following this link! <a href="http://www.ravelry.com/purchase/corrie-blackmore-designs/654690">buy now</a> I adore living in the UK but sometimes I get a bit nostalgic for America and this blanket is what I dreamed up as my perfect blanket to take to a Friday night or Saturday afternoon football game.   I chose red, white and blue because it reminds me of Fresno State football games and the massive tailgating parties that I remember from childhood.  Of course, this blanket can be adapted to any school colours.  This time I decided to do a simple college stripe pattern that can be adapted to different school colours and is the correct side to fit a twin bed (that is known as a single in the UK) to adorn my son’s bed. *At the bottom of this pattern I have listed other colour options in Paintbox yarns to support different school teams.   This pattern is suitable for beginners , involves almost no

It  is soft, stretchy and warm.  This hat actually fits a small adult but is designed to be comfortable for the head of a child from about 5 upwards.  This is a good pattern for someone who is moving on from being a beginner to gaining some extra techniques making their work more refined.  I’ve called it a Wally striped hat because I do find it reminiscent of the Wally character in the famous books (Waldo if you are in the US). I prefer having a foundation treble crochet to making a foundation chain for this hat because you
