Crochet Scarf

Very very simple Scarf pattern that can be adjusted any way you like

Photobucket

Scarf above was made out of a hobbly lobby brand yarn that was extremly fuzzy, and a bulky weight, I used a P hook I believe.

To start
Chain however many it takes to make the width of the scarf

Row 1
HDC into each chain

Row 2 - End
HDC into each stitch

Continue rows until the scarf reaches the length you wish and tie off

You can add fringe to the ends, or any edging you like.

Small about me I guess

I love to crochet. I have done so many scarfs and hats now, I dont think my family will ever run out. Only thing I want to find more things for is for my son, there are so many girly things to make, but it seems like the boys get the short end of the stick sometimes. Ive made my daughter a poncho, 2 hats, scarf and so on, so far my son has gotten a frog, and a hat. Im going to have to make up more stuffed animal things to make up for the fashion end not being there for him I guess. Im not that experienced yet with crochet, but I am working my way up there, my next big project will most likely be sweaters, after I have gotten more comfortable with different stitches I am still learning.

Crochet Baby blanket

Photobucket

Simple baby blanket pattern

You can use any size hook, or yarn for this. In the blanket above I was using a P hook and two strands of medium sport weight yarn held together.

To start
Chain as many as it takes to make the length of the blanket

Row 1
SC into each chain, Turn

Row 2
SC into each stitch, chain 2, Turn

Row 3
HDC into each stitch, chain 3, Turn

Row 4 - 20 (the number of rows can be changed to fit how wide you want the blanket)
DC into each stitch, Chain 3, Turn

Row 21
DC into each Stitch, Chain 2, Turn

Row 22
HDC into each stitch, Turn

Row 23
SC into each stitch, turn

Row 24 SC into each stitch, tie off at end of last stitch, weave in all ends


The edging can be any or none, I choose a simple edging that I liked, any would do, fringe, tassels, scalloped, any thing you find nice or just leave plain.


Crochet Beanie

This is a simple pattern for a beanie, it can be adjusted to fit anyone by decreasing the amount of increase rows.

I used a J hook, and sports weight yarn for this hat

Photobucket

To start chain 5, sl stitch into first chain (it is a good idea to use a stitch marker of a contrasting color to show starting stitch)

Row 1
10 HDC into center of the ring, sl stitch into 2 chain of the chain 3, chain 3

Row 2
HDC into same stitch as chain 3, 2 HDC into each remaining HDC, slip stitch into 2nd chain of chain 3, chain 3

Row 3
HDC into same stitch as chain 3, *HDC into next stitch, 2 HDC into next stitch* repeat from * to * around, sl stitch into 2nd chain of chain 3, chain 3

Row 4
HDC into same stitch as chain 3, *HDC into next stitch, HDC into next stitch, 2 HDC into next stitch*, repeat from * to * around, sl stitch into chain 2 of chain 3, chain 3

Row 5
HDC into same stitch as chain 3, *HDC into next stitch, HDC into next stitch, HDC into next stitch, 2 HDC into next stitch* repeat from * to * around, slip stitch into 2nd chain of chain 3, chain 3

this is where you make your beanie smaller or larger, if making larger, continue making increase rounds the next row would go 3 HDC before doing 2 HDC into same stitch, the following row would do 4 HDC before doing 2 HDC into same stitch, and so on. If doing a small hat then stop the increase rows.

Row 6 - 12
HDC into next stitch, HDC into each stitch, join with sl stitch into chain 2 of the chain 3.

When finished with row 12 you can either tie off and weave in the ends, or do the edging I have above and do not tie off.

Edging
Chain 3, SC into next stitch, repeat around, join with sl stitch at the bottom of the first chain 3. Tie off and weave in ends.

Weave in any ends that are left.

Crochet Shawl Pattern

This is my first attempt at writing a pattern for crochet. It is a very simple easy pattern.

I am using two strands held together, bother are a light sports weight. You can adjust this pattern to go with any kind of yarn I think by just adding or decreasing rows. If you are using a bulky or super bulky weight yarn, one strand would do fine. I am using a P/11.50 mm crochet hook.

To start chain 4, then sl stitch in the first ch to form a ring

Row 1
*SC into the center of the ring, DC into the center of the ring* repeat 2 times, then finish with a SC and chain 3, CH will be the first DC in the next row
Row 2
SC into same stitch as the CH, *DC in next stitch, SC in following stitch* Repeat until last stitch, DC in the chain 3 space and SC in same space, chain 3 turn.

Repeat row 2 until shawl has reached the size you are looking for.

You can add fringe or tassels, or any edging that you like to finish the shawl, or nothing at all.

I will post pic once mine is complete.
If I have made any mistakes, let me know, very first time at trying to write a pattern.
