HandMade: The Crochet Crossed Shawl.

Hello there and Happy Thursday! Here is my completed project from last weeks', 'What's on my hook?' It's another experimental project, big surprise! Definitely want to experiment more with this item and try different stitches and methods with this pattern. It was a bit tricky trying to figure out how to go about creating this shawl, but after a few tries, here it is! It is super comfy and I don't have to fidget around with it. Even with the slit in the pattern I have the option of leaving it a bit open or tying it together. I love pieces that I can utilize in numerous ways!

The crochet technique I used, was the half double crochet, double crochet single crochet and an open stitch method.

The Yarn I used:  Heather Grey//Caron Simply Soft

The Hook I used: H/8-5.00 MM   
The Pattern I used: Experimental: My Own!   

DIY: 3 Way Twisted Crochet Infinity Scarf.

Hello there and Happy Tuesday! Here is a  free pattern I made for this infinity scarf/snood/shrug item that can be worn multiple ways. It's a fairly easy pattern to follow and so much fun to wear. I loved the idea of creating an item that can be utilized and transformed depending on your mood. So I whipped this one up to share, please enjoy!

The Ingredients: 
>> 1 yarn selection (Homespun Yarn)
>> jumbo hook
>> crafting scissors

Crochet technique with abbreviations:

>>Chain=[CH]

>>Half Double Crochet [HDC]

>>Slip Stitch= [SS]

>>Stitches and Stitch= [STS] & [ST]

The Pattern:
>>Start your chain by CH 81
>>Connect the last ST to the first ST
*The key to connect the first ST to the last ST, is ensuring that there will be a twist.
When you connect, make sure it is the opposite of the direction that your STS will be in.
Next.

>>*When you get towards the end, you will notice that it will begin to turn and you will have to flip it around so that there will be a twist.

>>You will continue this method of HDC in all of the STS. Until Row 9.
>>There will 10 Rows of HDC. 
At the end you will SS, weave the ends in and cut.
