Crochet Scarves

I have made several crocheted scarves. They are fairly easy, it starts with a foundation chain (which is pretty standard for crochet) and then the next rows are triple stitch. I like the triple stitch, it goes fast and it's a nice size for this project. I usually make 5 rows because that way the scarf is wide enough. Length varies, depending on the person - Otter likes hers to be really long so she can wrap them around herself 2 or 3 times. She calls those her Dr. Who scarves. Why they are called that will be obvious to any Who fans!

This is one of Otter's Dr. Who scarves. It's a chenille yarn which is lovely and very warm. But it is probably my least-favorite to work with. It's a very warm scarf, it was just not fun to make it. The yarn is stiff but mostly the problem I had with it was the gauge. It was big enough that it was hard to find the correct placement for the crochet hook in each stitch. But it turned out great and I'll probably use it again. Just not anytime soon! The scarf wasn't quite finished here, it didn't have the fringe on it yet. But it was a cold, icy day and Otter wanted to wear it so it didn't get the fringe added until later on.

This is a closer picture of it, the camera was in the process of breaking so the picture isn't too clear.

This is one I made for my Secret Sister in my Sunday School class a couple of years ago. With this yarn, the stitches are more open but they are also more visible than the chenille yarn.

This is one I made for a friend of Froggy's. It turned out well, but the yarn was very problematic. The color is Lipstick, and it looked great. But the yarn knotted up a lot and just was not easy to work with.

This is Froggy's. She's an Aggie Mom, so it's Texas A & M colors. Even though I'm a loyal Texas Longhorn fan, I have to admit that this color combination works well.

I've made other scarves, but I don't have pictures of them. I have a tendency to forget to take pictures. I need to start getting pictures! I made a bright red one for Sweetie (Otter's Oklahoma grandmother), a lavender one for KN#3 (Froggy's daughter), a couple of others for Otter and myself and I've also made several which were donated.
