Sapphire Lace Scarflet

Best Blog Tips











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.
Row 1- 1 sc in second ch from hook, skip 4 ch, work 7 dc in next ch, *skip 4 ch, work 7 dc in next ch, rep from * across, end row with 1 sc in last ch. Ch 5, turn. (4 seven-dc shells plus 2 sc.)
Row 2- Skip first 2 dc of first shell, 1 dc in next dc of shell, ch 1, skip next dc, 1 dc in next dc, ch 4, skip last 2 dc of shell and also skip the first 2 dc of next shell, *1 dc in next dc, ch 1, skip next dc, 1 dc in next dc, skip last 2 dc of current shell, ch 4, skip first 2 dc of next shell, work 1 dc in next dc, ch 1, skip next dc, 1 dc in next dc, rep from * across, end row as follows, ch 2, 1 dc in top of turning ch. 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)

Ch 3, turn. (8 dc and 4 ch-4 spaces)
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)

skip next ch, 1 tr in top of turning ch, (23 tr) Ch 3, turn.
Row 15- 1 dc in each tr across. Ch 4, turn. (23 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.

Row 22- 1 tr in each dc across. Fasten off Cherry Red, leaving long tail to sew with.

Note- You will be making one side shorter than the other by two rows, because the keyhole tends to make one side longer than the other if you try to match them by rows.
This way, they will look the same length.

Weave in all other ends.

This is not exactly the same scarflet but a play on colors and stitches to make a nice opposite.
If in your future list of gifts you have two sisters, these two scarflets would be a nice thing to give them. They are a lovely match without an exact "sameness." Often, not even identical twins like to dress alike!

This is the Boxy Neck Warmer revisited with a different ending to it for fun. As with the previous pattern, I have simplified the pattern to make it easier to make. It is a wide scarflet that can be enlarged a bit to be used even as a shoulder warmer.
asy as they come and nice to boot! If you are making little gifts to delight your friends for the Holidays, this one might qualify for your list! An added bonus is the little frog closure which you can easily learn to make and which will be very useful for many other things, such as purses, shoulder swraps, cardigans, you name it!

This is a relatively easy scarflet to make. It is basically made in two shades of two colors. One side is made in dark green and light red, the opposite side is made in a darker red and a lighter green. The gathering strap is made in a variegated to give it a little more punch.

Moni's Edging

Best Blog Tips

I love these types of mile-a-minute edgings which work upwards, because they are easier to measure and adjust to fit a project than the ones that work up horizontally. It's terrible to make all your edging in a particular length only to find out later that it is either too short or too long!

With this kind of edging that won't happen since you work the base of the edging upwards until you have the exact width you need, then you turn the corner and work the decorative ends, that way, it is sure to fit!

This lovely and easy edging could be used for many different projects, from a shawl to an afghan.

Base-
With chosen color of worsted wight yarn and crochet hook size H (I used Red Heart's Shocking Pink), ch 5.
Row 1- Ch 5. 2 dc in 4th ch from hk, ch 2, 3 dc in next ch. Ch 5, turn.
Row 2- 3 dc, ch 2, 3 dc in ch-2 sp, ch 5, turn.
Row 3- 3 dc, ch 2, 3 dc in ch-2 sp, ch 3, turn.
Rep rows 2 and 3 alternately, until you have the length you need to sew the edging to your project (widthwise.)
When you reach that measurement, work the decorative end as follows:

Decorative End:
Row 1-
Work base row 3 once. Ch 3.
Row 2- Make 8 dc in 1st ch-5 space, 2 dc, ch 2, 2 dc in next ch-5 sp, *work 8 dc in next ch-5 sp, 2 dc, ch 2, 2 dc in next ch-5 sp, rep from * across. Ch 3, turn.



Row 3- 1 dc in each of first 2 dc of 8-dc shell, ch 6, skip 2 dc, 1 dc in each of last 3 dc of 8-dc shell, ch 2, 1 sc in ch-2 sp of next shell, ch 2, *1 dc in each of first 3 dc of 8-dc shell, ch 6, skip 2 dc, 1 dc in each of last 3 dc of 8-dc shell, ch 2, 1 sc in ch-2 sp of next shell, ch 2, rep from * across. Ch 3, turn.

Vivaciously Colorful Rickrack Scarflet

Uneven use of color makes for an interesting pattern every time. This pattern uses some of the shades of the variegated yarn to play with color and produce a fun and colorful scarflet.

From Stress to Joy

NOTE: I received a request from one of my subscribers to add a Print Friendly button. So I did, because I thought it would be convenient for all of you. The Print Friendly button works, (I've tested it) but, I am NOT a geek, and all I could do was to copy the HTML code in my blogs at the spot where I was insctructed to place it. If for some reason, when you try to use the Print Friendly button, the pattern does not appear right on your screen, or if does not print right, I cannot troubleshoot that! That sort of thing has happened to me in other sites. I can suggest one thing though, which is what i do: Get out of the printing window, highlight everything you want to print on the blog's common screen with your mouse, hit Crl plus C, to copy, and drop the contents on any word processing software you have (Word for Windows or the free softwares Scribus or OpenOffice will do just fine) and then print it as you usually print things on your computer.
