Tween Circular Scarf

This scarf was inspired by my niece who gave clear directions for her scarf.  It had to be a round scarf and it had to be pink. After a lot of contemplation (and a boatload of frogging) this was the result.


You will need

1 skein Baby Bee Sweet Delight Chunky #5 yarn, 3.5 oz/109 yd

6.5mm hook

Yarn needle

Stitch marker

Scissors


Notes

This scarf is designed for the tween age group, with a foundation chain length of 48".  


Pattern is worked in 3 stitch repeat, in the round as a spiral, so feel free to adjust to desired dimensions for age of recipient or your gauge.


The scarf took practically the entire skein, so you may wish to purchase an extra skein depending on your tension (or make a hat/ear muffs with the leftovers).  Current width is 3.5", adjust as desired.

Cheshire Cat Pocket Wrap

Image
     The name for this pocket wrap comes at the suggestion of Heather, a crafting friend, who said the colours reminded her of the Cheshire Cat.  As for the design, I love making scarves lengthwise and exploring the different texture options that result.  But I always struggle with getting pockets to sit right, so I thought, why not try to build the pockets into the design as much as possible?  That cut down my stitching and it seems to make the pockets sit nicely as well. You will need Approximately 23 oz of #6 super chunky yarn (700 yds).  I used about 2 ⅓ of the Caron Chunky Cakes (Elderberry Jelly). 8 mm crochet hook Yarn needle Stitch markers Scissors Finished size Approximately 15×66". Gauge  Not critical for this project.  Adjust foundation chain in 2+1 pattern as needed for desired size.
