The holidays are fast approaching, Thanksgiving is 3 weeks away, and YarnKat is 1 year old. I am thankful for your support of my blog and website. In order to show my thanks I am giving you a FREE CROCHET PATTERN that can be made in 1 day or 2 days. This pattern is a crochet scarf. For 1 week only, the pattern will be free, after that it will be $4.00 in my pattern shop.
I call this my Rolling Along Infinity Scarf. The scarf is an easy pattern for the novice crocheter, the more experienced will find it can be crocheted it in a short time. The sample shown is in Premier Yarns Sweet Roll Cake, in colorway Pink Swirl. It is an acrylic yarn, worsted weight #4, with 245 yards. It is machine washable, and the recommended hook size is US I-9 (5.5mm).
Other yarn choices: Vanna’s Choice (2 skeins), Red Heart Unforgettable (1 skein), Bernat Pop Cake Yarn (1 skein), Plymouth Yarn Company’s Encore (1 to 2 skeins), even Red Heart Super Saver Soft or With Love and Hobby Lobby’s I Love This Yarn. These are all economical choices, each being less than $8 per skein
The crochet hook we will be using is US J-10 (6mm). In choosing this hook, there will be more loft, more flow to the scarf. It will not look so stiff because the larger hook eases the tension of the yarn.
