Sampler Scarflet ---Part 2

At the beginning I thought to make this a sampler of hook-knit stitches, but then I thought that some of you might not be interested in learning hook-knitting and yet would like to make this scarflet, so I decided to combine hook-knitted stitches with compatible crocheted stitches to give an opportunity to those crocheters that would like to stick to the usual use of their hooks. So, to make this scarflet in crochet only, you will continue in the crochet stitch, skipping the hook-knit section, until you reach the next crochet stitch, and thus you will be able to complete the scarflet. If you would like to make them both ways, go ahead! Anyone who loves freeform crochet and textured projects will love this one.

Sampler Scarflet Part 1

This is a wonderful opportunity for you to practice your new hook-knitted skills by making new
stitches and combining them with the kind of crochet you are used to. It is a sampler scarflet that is not only fun but will open for you new possibilities when it comes to how you make your hook work for you!
By the way, these stitches can be used for other things also, for example, this first one would look lovely in a shawl.
