Helen's Scarf ~ 100 %



Made from two color: Cranberry & Heather Pink...I don't remember the brand of yarn, but probably lion-brand in worsted weight.

this scarf could have been made from two full skeins...I only had partials left over from various other projects, so it's hard for me to tell how much yarn is used.

the stripes are a bit different since i mistaked it...it's basically a harry potter crochet pattern with a bit tweaked. It's because I was running out of the darker color, so I had to switch it up mid stripes to the opposite way...it still turned out ok!

The basic HP Crochet scarf is as follows:

Chain 26.

*Work 6 DC rows of Main Color.
Work 1 DC row of Second Color.
Work 2 DC rows of Main Color.
Work 1 DC row of Second Color.*

Repeat ** 14 times.

Work 6 DC rows of Main Color

Weave in ends, add fringe in Main Color.


( I didn't write the pattern, it was a pattern i found on another person's LJ...i didn't keep track of where i found it, thus can't give proper credit.

Finally weaved in all the ends last night. I had a few left, and had to push thru the pain...i hate weaving in the ends. Perhaps next time, I won't leave so many out!

this is my first crochet scarf, it was so easy as compared to knitting...by easy i mean quick. It's a very quick for me to crochet. I whip these babies out in no time!

I think i'll pack another package to be sent to the US...

p.s. Pattern as follows...it's actually a lot harder to write out than to just see it, and work it.
