Creek Bend Scarf

by 1 Comment

It’s always fun to add a complimentary design to one I’ve already made.  I think it’s fun to have some matching sets don’t you?  Since I designed the Creek Bend Beanie using the stash given to me by Michael’s, I thought it was fun to once again go back to the box and find another great skein.  I decided to use another color for the Creek Bend Scarf.  What do you think?  I really love this colorway!

Please Favorite or Queue in Ravelry!

Supplies:

  1. Loops and Threads Barcelona, #5 Bulky Weight, 100% Acyrlic, 328 yards/200g, Colorway: Opulance  I used basically the entire skein of yarn.
  2. Hook Size:  K/6.5mm
  3. Tapestry Needle for Weaving in the ends.

Abbreviations:

ch – chain
flo – front loop only
rem – remaining
sc – single crochet
sp(s) – space(s)

Gauge:  Not important for this project.

Finished Measurement:  59″ x 6 1/2″

Notes: 

  • Ch 1 in the first st is not considered the first sc in the pattern.
  • Ch 3 is considered the first st in the row.  You can also use the alternative to the chain 3 if you want to try out a new technique.  I think you’ll love it.

Special Stitch:
Special Single Cluster Crochet: (sscc) Insert hook into st, YO, pull up a loop, YO, pull through one loop, insert hook in front loop only in round below, YO, pull up a loop, YO pull through 2 loops, insert hook back in same sp, YO, pull up a loop, YO, pull through all 3 remaining loops.  You can watch the video tutorial for the beanie to get an idea how this stitch works by clicking HERE.

Row 1:  Ch 21, sc in 2nd ch from hook, sc in next ch and each rem ch across, turn. (20 sc)

Row 2:  Ch 3, (See Pattern Notes), dc in next st and each rem st across, turn. (20 dc)

Row 3:  Ch 1, sc in first st, sc in flo in next st and each rem st across until the last st, sc in top of ch 3, turn. (20 sc).

Row 4:  Ch 1, sc in first st, *sscc (See Special Stitches) in next st, ch 1, skip next st, repeat from * across until last st, sc in last st, turn. 9 sscc, 2 sc, 9 ch-1 sps)

Row 5:  Ch 1, sc in first st, sc in next ch-1 sp, *sc in next st, sc in next ch-1 sp, repeat from * across, turn. (20 sc)

Row 6:  Ch 1, sc in first st, sc in next st and each rem st across, turn. (20 sc)

Repeat Rows 3-6 until you have reached your desired length.

Adding fringe is optional

Moongaze Poncho

by 7 Comments

I love the different ways you can make a poncho. I’d never made one using 2 rectangles sewn together, so I decided to give it a try to design the Moongaze Poncho. So, if you haven’t either, it okay because you’ll be fine with this pattern.

I chose an easy stitch pattern that gives you some texture, added warmth and easy to remember. You’ll find it easy to memorize and can just keep up with the measurements to get your desired look.

Please Favorite or Queue in Ravelry!

Supplies:

  1. Premier Everyday Heathers, Worsted Weight #4, 180 yds/113g, 100% acrylic, colorway: Oat Heather
  2. Hook – I/5.50mm
  3. Tapestry Needle for weaving in the ends

Abbreviations:

ch – chain
dc – double crochet
rem – remaining
sc – single crochet
sl st – slip stitch
sp(es) – space(es)
st(s) – stitch(es)

Gauge:  14 sc/dc sts and 14 rows = 4”

Pattern Notes:

  • Ch 1 at beginning of pattern does not count as first st unless otherwise stated.
  • Ch 3 at beginning of pattern counts as double crochet unless otherwise stated.
  • You can use the alternative to the ch 3 stitch at the beginning of the pattern. I recommend at least watching the video and trying it.  It’s a game changer for a nice, clean edge.
