Mermaid Tears Scarf

By -
Hello Lovelies!
I'm back and ready to give y'all a free pattern today! 
This pattern can be easily adapted to create an elegant shawl! For the moment I'm calling my result a "Stole" but technically it's just a wide scarf. Either way, I'm totally loving how it turned out! It features an open lattice pattern, which works up very quickly and requires minimal crochet know how... So it's a perfect project for beginners! 
Le Finished Scarf! I love the Fishnet feel!


Let's get started shall we?

Things you'll need:
H Crochet hook 
1 skein of your choice of worsted or aran weight yarn, (I used red heart super-saver in the shade of JADE)
Tapestry needle
A close up of the lattice work

R1: Chain 40, Single crochet into the 8th chain from the hook, chain 5 and skip 3 stitches, Single crochet into the 4th stitch... repeat this pattern until you reach the end of your row. Chain 5 and turn your work!

R2: Single crochet into the big loop that you just made (the chain 5 loop). Chain 5 and single crochet into the next loop! Repeat until the end of the row. Chain 5 and turn!

That's it! You'll keep repeating row 2 until you reach the desired length, then weave in all the loose ends. 


Suppose you wanted to make a shawl or a stole with this same pattern? You absolutely could! Just switch the size of your crochet hook! I tested this pattern out with varying hook sizes, K works best for shawls.

Psst! My scarf was 40" long, if you're making a shawl you'll want to be sure to allow some extra room for the drape! 

Happy Crafting!!!!

Shake Your Pom-Poms Hat!

Hello to all my lovely readers! As you know I'm an avid knitter, actually some might call it a slight obsession that I have with yarn. Well thanks to Ravelry I'm never at a loss for what creation comes next. I love quick and easy projects and that's what I found with this hat from IS + WAS. It's anthropologie inspired diy which makes it even more fantastic! Why pay a big price for something you can make yourself? The answer is simple, you wouldn't!!! You would buy 1-2 skeins of your favorite chunky yarn and make this puppy up!!! (pssst... in case you're wondering I used Oklahoma City Green by Lion Brand's Hometown solids collection) Check it out!!! Here's what I came up with! I did make a slight change to the pattern by doing a 2x2 ribbing for the first 2 rows to give it a nice ribbed edge. Pretty awesome, huh? So head on over to IS + WAS' blog and get the free pattern! HERE is the link, in case you're wondering! Happy Craft...

Hello Crafty Followers! It has truly been too long since I've posted about my crafty endeavors. Since my last post I've been to Philadelphia for the wedding of my best friend. While I was nervous about flying, it was an adventure that proved to be a delight! I saw some incredible things and was introduced to the most amazing store... ahum... LUSH! "Louis this could be the start of a beautiful friendship" perfectly describes my feelings toward the trendy vegan/ environmentally friendly haven! Anyway, moving right along from my discovery of the witchcraft that is the FUNbar and Twilight bath bomb! I also met some pretty amazing people and bonded over Bacon, because who doesn't love bacon (... no offense to my vegetarian followers). To sum up a story that could one day be turned into a romantic comedy by Hallmark... I shall suffice to say that I had a wonderful time! You wanna know more? You'll have to wait twenty years and buy my memoirs! LOL! Anyway... Let...
