Blue & Green Triple Stitch Crochet Scarf (EDITED)

Ignore the fact that this picture was taken on top of my washing machine!  It was the closest spot with a light colored background.

This is my standard scarf pattern, it's a foundation chain with 5 rows of triple stitch.  The yarn is blue & green variegated with some transition colors including a yellowish green and teal.  It's very pretty and I have a little left so I'll have to find another project for it.  It's Red Heart Kids yarn, which is softer than their regular yarn and it was very easy to work with.  I can't remember the name of it for anything, but it's a one-word title and is ocean or water related.  I'll eventually remember, and then I'll post it on here.  (EDIT:  The color is called Beach).


This is the entire scarf.  It's just over 60" long, the fringes on the ends are 9" but are doubled so they only extend about 4".



This is a close-up of the stitches.  The colors in this yarn are absolutely beautiful.  It's a gift for my friend Virginia, I asked her for her two favorite colors and she said green & blue.  All she knows is that I'm crocheting something for her, but not what it is.  She doesn't have internet access so I think I'm safe posting it on here before I actually give it to her.

It was an easy project, it only takes me a couple of hours start to finish on these.  I've made several of them  and they are quick.  I really enjoyed making this one.

Thank you! This one is for a very special friend of mine, so I wanted it to be as special as I could make it. I'm so glad that you like it.
