Crocheted Striped Scarf

Striped Scarf Pattern

I made this scarf for a friend of mine for Christmas. Yes, I’m posting this before I give it away. Hopefully, the recipient won’t be viewing this page before they receive it.

It’s crocheted in 4 ply worsted weight yarn. Here’s the basic pattern all done in HDC (Half double crochet).

Crochet a foundation chain as long as you want the width to be. Since this scarf was for a man, I chained 26. For a woman, I think I’d chain around 18 or so.

Hook size: I

Rows 1-6 Color 1

*Rows 7-18 Color 2
Row 19-20 Color 1
Rows 21-22 Color 2
Rows 23-24 Color 1
Rows 25-26 Color 2
Rows 27-28 Color 1*

Repeat rows 7-28 until you get the length you want, then crochet 6 rows of Color 1.

Crocheted Soap Saver

Crocheted Soap Saver Pattern

We have a lot of soap bits hanging around at my home. For some reason, my family thinks that once a bar of soap breaks in half, it’s time to throw it out. Being a born and bred New Englander, I firmly believe in the old addage “Waste Not, Want Not”. Throwing out broken soap is a big waste!

I designed this soap saver to mimic a facecloth, but with soap in it. I designed it using the idea of a sandwich bag in mind. No, not a Ziploc style baggie, but the kind with the fold over top.

I used Lion Brand cotton yarn with hook size F.

Start this soap saver by chaining 21.

Row 1: SC in 2nd chain, SC in each CH for a total of 20 SC. CH 1. Turn.
Rows 2-49: SC in each CH for a total of 20 SC. CH 1. Turn.
Row 50: SC in each CH for a total of 20 SC. Finish off and tuck in ends.

You are going to fold this twice. The first fold is at the 20th row. Fold the fabric up and on top. The second fold is at the 40th row. Fold this one underneath.

Whip the sides together and tuck in ends. The finished soap saver measures roughly 4 inches by 5 inches. I tend to crochet tightly so your measurements maybe different. You can make the soap saver wider by adding more chain stitches in the beginning chain or lengthen it by adding more rows.

Row 1: Chain 9. DC in 3rd Chain, DC in next CH. CH 2. Skip 2 CH. DC in next 3 CH. CH 2 and turn.
Rows 2 – 26: DC in the top of next two DC. CH 2. Skip 2 CH. DC in next 3 CH. CH 2 and turn.

Edging

You will be working down the side of the bookmark across the rows to begin with then across the bottom, up the opposite side and across the top.

CH 1 and do not turn. SC in last DC on Row 25. CH4 and work Triple Cluster in fourth CH from hook. *Skip first row, SC in next row, CH 4, Triple Cluster in forth chain from hook.* Repeat edging all around bookmark and finish off.

Tip: You can shorten or lengthen the bookmark as you wish by adding or subtracting rows. Be sure you have an even number of rows so the edging works out properly.
