Reeva Scarf




I love this scarf so much, my pictures don't do much justice on how pretty this scarf is. Adding to its beauty is the Lion Brand Mandala Yarn, this yarn sure is made for scarves. 

This is so easy to make, anyone can make this one. I always try to make all my patterns easy, I want to use simple and basic stitches that any beginner can make. It really doesn't require a mad scientist to make beautiful crochet creations. Most of the time the basic stitches, when combined together, would create a very beautiful pattern. Give this scarf a try and won't regret it.  

Materials:
  • Lion Brand Mandala ( Genie)
  • I/5.5mm Crochet Hook
  • Tapestry Needle
  • Scissors
  • Pompom Maker (optional)



Stitches Used:
  • CH(s) – Chain(s)
  • SC – Single Crochet
  • TC – Triple/Treble Crochet


Notes:
  • Foundation CHs are multiples of 2 plus 1 CH plus returning CH. (28+1+1)
  • ALWAYS end the row with a SC.



Instructions
Row1.  CH 30, SC in the 2nd CH from the hook and in all the stitches across. CH 1 and turn (29 SC)

Row2.   SC in the first stitch, * TC in the next stitch, and SC in the next.*  Repeat until the end, ending with SC into the last stitch.  CH 1 and turn. (14 TC, 15 SC)

Row3. SC in the first 2 stitches, * TC in the next stitch, and SC in the next.*  Repeat until the end ending with SC into the last 2 stitches. CH 1 and turn.  (13 TC and 16 SC)

Repeat Row 2 and 3 alternately until you reach your desired length. I only used up one ball of Mandala yarn and the Scarf measures 8 x 60 inches. 


Fasten off and weave in all ends.

Amanda Beanie



Who knew that naming your work was such a task? I finished this hat more than a month ago but nothing came to my mind in terms of naming it. I could not find the most suitable name for this one. Amanda is a name I loved since I was young, and I think it suits well with this beanie. It is simple, yet beautiful.

Sometimes simple stitches make the most beautiful stitch pattern, this beanie is the example of that.  This is made entirely of Single Crochets and Half Double Crochet.

Materials:
  • Acrylic Yarn Medium #4 (RH Ombre & RH with Love)

  • Scissors
  • Pompom Maker (optional)



Stitches Used:
  • CH(s) – Chain(s)
  • SC – Single Crochet
  • HDC – Half Double Crochet


Notes:
  • You can make this hat in one color or in 2 colors, change color in every round, except for the last 3 rounds.
  • Size changes are indicated along the pattern. Number of stitches are written inside the parenthesis as follows - (CHILD, TEENAGER, ADULT) 
  • The hat is worked in rounds.
  • Do not join at the first stitch at the end of each round just continue to work in rounds.
  • All SC is done in the 3rd loop of the HDC of the previous round.  Except for the last 3 rounds.
