Spiral Scarf
Crochet
They're currently trendy, and I love that it's a little whimsy: it's a scarf that's more for accessorising than for practical warmth. So I put one of my many $1 balls of yarn to good use, because I refuse to pay what the stores are asking!
Material
Yarn: 8 ply, about 180 metres. Check your ball band for how many metres it contains to determine how many balls you will need for his project. (I used just over 1 x 50g ball of Cleckheaton Studio mohair 8ply)
Hook: 8mm
Directions
1. Chain your desired length (I made it 150cm).
2. In the second chain (loop) from the hook, 1 x double crochet. Then next chain 1 x double crochet. Repeat until at end of chain.
3. Chain 2. In back of loop, 1 x double crochet. In the back of next loop, 1 x double crochet. In the back of third loop, 2 x double crochet. Continue 1, 1, 2 until reach the end. (Notice on current verso pattern of line along the scarf).
3. Chain 2. In back of loop, 1 x treble crochet. In next back of loop 2 x treble crochet. Repeat1 then 2 then 1 then 2 etc until reach the end.
4. Chain 2. In top two threads (the loop), 1 x treble crochet. In next loop, 1 x treble crochet. Continue 1 x treble crochet in each loop until reach the end.
5. Tie off. Wear it. Watch it spiral around!
Just not whimsical enough? Add a crocheted flower or two to an end.
Simple Flower
Crochet
Material
Yarn: a good few metres in the colour you want your flower to be!
Hook: 8mm (smaller for little flowers, bigger for larger flowers though may need to add a second strand of yarn or you'll have a holey flower!)
Directions
1. Chain 2.
2. In first chain (not the one with the hook in!), 1 x double, 1x treble, 1 x double treble, 1 x treble, 1 x double, 1 x slip stitch. (6 stiches in the one loop).
3. Repeat the 6 stiches for as many petals as you want/can fit in the same loop.
4. Tie off.
5. Sew onto garment. You could add a self cover button (or any button) to jazz it up too.
