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...
