How to crochet an easy scarf with one skein of yarn: Window grids scarf

 

I was looking for new crochet stitches on Pinterest and found this and thought the stitch from the left bottom corner could be a nice scarf, so I did some test and I got this pattern. I like so much the end result reminds me of "window grids".

I made two version: the infinity scarf with DK yarn and the regular one with worsted weight yarn. But you can switch them. The starting chain length is the wide of the scarf, so I did the diagrams based on the weigth of the yarn to get the same wide of both (7"). For the length depends of the person, the infinity scarf measures 42" and the other one 64" without the fringes. 

Materials

  • 1 skein of yarn 
    • I used almost one skein of Red Heart® Super Saver® Flecks Yarn in Aran Color for the regular scarf plus some yards of Red Heart® Super Saver® in Cafe color for the fringes and one skein of Ice Yarn Dancing Baby Pink Shades Grey for the infinity scarf
  • Crochet hook
    • 5mm for the regular scarf using worsted weight yarn

Rio Celeste crochet blanket free pattern

 The pattern consists in 6 different granny squares that use simple filet crochet to create a fun blanket. The name of the blanket is inspired in Rio Celeste, a river in Costa Rica. It is notable for its distinctive turquoise coloration. Notes: Every round is started with standing or chainless double crochet, you can learn how to make it here. If you prefer you can replace it with ch 2 and will turn as pretty. The secret is in starting the rounds in the corner to make the join less noticeable. This pattern includes a 5 x 6 layout based in 5 colors but there is an additional 6 x 6 layout with focus in the granny squares types in the pdf version on Lovecrafts ,   Ravelry  and Etsy . It has no color on it so you can print it and color it as you want or use it to plan your blanket. The squares were joined using the mattress stitch sewing. Materials: Size 3/light weight yarn. I used 1080 yards (990 meters) in total of Star by Oren Bayan 196 yards / 180 meters (60 gra...

How to crochet a striped granny square with no holes

The pattern for a solid granny square with no holes is pretty simple, so before that I’ll teach you some tips on how to change the colors so you can get a pretty striped granny square. No holes, almost imperceptible start of the rows, no obvious color changes. Materials: Your favorite yarn in various colors. I used DK/Light worsted acrylic yarn The crochet hook you normally use for your chosen yarn. In my case 4.00 mm crochet hook  Stitch markers  Scissors  Tapestry needle Starting your rounds/rows Instead of 3 chains, start your rounds/rows with “chainless double crochet” or “2 stacked single crochet”.  Chainless double crochet:  Step 1: pull up the loop on the hook to the height of a normal double crochet. Then, while holding the loop in your hook with your thumb finger, move your hook to the back so now the loop will be “over” the hook, something similar to a regular yarn over. Step 2: Still holding the loop with your thumb, insert your hook in the first stit...

Fairy Garden blanket - Free crochet pattern

  In June, I started playing with some leftover yarn I had in my stash and made some of these granny squares. After a few months, I decided to crochet a blanket for my goddaughter. However, as the baby's due date approached, I hadn't finished all the granny squares. So, I ended up giving her my Sofia blanket, which looks just as beautiful with a matching sweater and hat. Later, in December, I picked up this project again with the idea of using only what I had at home. That meant I had to adjust my plans and colors as I went along. Earlier this year I decided to share the pattern for free here. So let's get started. This pattern requires at least 4 colors to highlight the flower design but you can add as many as you want. For my Fairy garden blanket I used 6 main colors for the flowers, cream for the joining and border and a mix of leftovers for the rows 5 and 6 in the granny squares. Estimated quantities required if you use 4 colors: Flowers: 140 grams Row 5 (leaves): 90 g...
