Eglantine

I love the almost wild sweet briar roses, especially, the climbing ones with rosy-red or just deep rose blooms. Eglantine is one of those. Even thou Eglantine's blooms are most of the time pink, the rose hips are a vivid color, so I decided to name this short scarf after that lovely rose.

Note- Side #2 is 1 row shorter than Side #1 at the Edge, the reason is because of the gaping hole of the buttonhole, otherwise, the tie would look longer on one side than on the other.
We correct that by making one side shorter.

Thread sewing needle with red thread and sew button in place opposite to buttonhole. Fasten off, secure at back.

Done!

Sapphire Lace Scarflet

The classic, go-with-anything quality of navy blue has made it an enduring color in women's closets for generations!
The convenience of the color has been softened by the presence of lace edges to create a relatively simple to make, feminine scarflet that wears easy and well. For your convenience, I used a readily available and affordable yarn.

Materials-
Red Heart worsted weight yarn, Soft Navy (1 skein)
Crochet hook size H
Blunt needle (to weave in tails)
Scissors

Side #1-
With Soft Navy and H hook, ch 26.

Ch 3, turn. (10 dc and 4 ch-4 spaces)
Row 3- 3 dc in same stitch as ch 3, *skip all the way to the next ch-4 space, skip first ch of ch-4 space and work 7 dc in next ch, skip next 2 ch, rep from * across, end row by working 4 dc in top of turning ch. Ch 7, turn. (5 shells)

Row 5- Skip first 2 ch of ch-4 space, work 7 dc in next ch, skip last ch of ch-4 sp, *skip all the way to the 3rd ch of next ch-4 space, make 7 dc in that ch, skip next ch, rep from * across, 1 dc in top of turning ch. Ch 5, turn. (4 shells plus 2 dc)

Rows 21 to 35- Alternate 1 dc row and 1 tr row. (23 sts) Fasten off Soft Navy and weave in tail.

Side #2-
Note- This side of the scarflet will be 1 row shorter than the opposite side, because of the gaping hole of the keyhole, if you make it the same length as the other side,
it will appear to be longer, and the ends won't match. If you make it one row shorter, the ends match perfectly.

Fasten off and weave in tail. Repeat on opposite narrow edge of scarfie. Fasten off and weave in tail.

Snail Frog Closure-
With Bright Yellow and H hook, leaving a long tail at the start, ch 2.
Row 1- 1 sc in second ch from hook. Turn. (NO ch 1)
Row 2- Take a close look at the side of your stitches, there is a tiny loop on the side, insert hook into that loop and pull up yarn
through it, now you have two loops on hook, yo, and pull yarn through all loops on hook. Turn. (NO ch 1)
Row 3- Now you will see that 2 loops have formed on the side of your stitches, insert hook through BOTH of those loops and pull up yarn,
yo, and pull yarn through all loops on hook. Turn. (NO ch 1)
Row 4- Rep row 3.
Rows 5 to 32- Rep row 3. Fasten off, leaving long tail to sew with.

Note 1- Notice that little loops form at the edge of your rope as you crochet, you will be using those little loops to sew up your frog closure.

Forming the Snail-

Thread blunt needle with leftover tail. Turn the end of the cord into a circle, and using the loops on the edges, stitch your circle, continue to
turn the rope around itself and to sew, until you have only 3 inches of rope left. (Use a measuring tape to make sure.) Fasten off and secure yarn
at back of the circle formed. (this is the snail's shell.) You can now snip the leftover yarn or leave to use it to attach your frog closure to the scarfie, that is what I will do.
Now, Turn the leftover rope around towards the "shell" you just formed. This is the rest of the snail and also the buttonhole loop of your frog closure. Using the tail you left at the beginning
of your rope, sew the buttonhole loop to the "shell", secure at back of rope. Now, take a good look at your snail. If the "shell" is too much to the side, simply, turn the circle a bit, towards the top of the buttonhole loop and secure in place by sewing the side loops together. Secure at back. If you consider that the buttonhole loop is too large for the button you have selected, simply sew a couple of side loops together ont he inside of the buttonhole loop and then bring the yarn to the back of the rope. Fasten off. Secure at back.

How to sew to scarfie:
Match scarfie's ends. Pin Snail Frog in place and sew. Fasten off, secure well, so it will not come off with use! Sew matching button. Fasten off.

Note 2- I made mine in the opposite direction in which usually people make buttonholes. You can make your frog in the opposite direction to mine. Just start twisting your circle on the opposite side of the rope!

Done!

I used Red Heart Candy Print for this collar. I love the way this yarn turns almost anything you make into a swirl of delicious pink!

Materials-1 skein Red Heart worsted weight variegated yarn Candy Print
Red heart worsted weight Pretty ‘N Pink (about half of a skein or less)
Crochet hook sizes H and G
