SCARF/WRAP~

I was  using three colors to create my own pattern.  Half dbl croc. completely around entire piece.  at each end, croc. a short part that comes out a few inches.  Sew on two buttons.  As you can see, it can be worn 2 ways.
FANCY INFINITY LOOP SCARF --a few rows 1/2 dbl croc and tie on fringes  (HAT IS KNITTED ON med.  LOOM WITH PURPLE CROC IN CENTER/TOP.

SKINNY SCARF~  A few rows of 1/2db croc and fringes.  If your yarn isn't soft, wash in cold water and dryer for 8-10 on Med heat.

HOLIDAY  INFINITY SCARF~
If you look at my previous post,  this chain is used as "garland."  Wrap the chain around your arm, keeping elbow bent.  When done, tie it together at 3-4 areas to secure.  Very "festive" for Christmas time!  Please see future posts for some seasonal inspiration.

GARLAND
I crocheted a loose chain with 2 colors (green and red) tied together.  It is about 14 Ft. long. (tree is a 6ft.)
This Croc. chain can also be rolled around your arm to make an Infinity scarf.  I will show it in next post.

WREATH ORNAMENTS (OR GIFT TAGS)

Croc. a foundation row like above.  Left- 2 rows Croc.  Take red yarn in a yarn needle and sew in and out a few times to make "berries."  Tie on a bow.
2nd on Left- 1 row and take yarn on needle and swirl it around the inside and outside of wreath.  Make "berries."

LEFTOVER YARN PROJECT (NEW) POMPOMS

Cut strips of yarn and tie them together in the center with a piece of yarn, or a "twist tie."  What will this be??
A POMPOM  to cheer on your favorite team, a pin to wear to your games (glue a pin on back, you can get them @ craft stores),  tie to your shoelaces, a small toy or gift for nursing homes; glue "eyes" on it and make a little critter friend!
SAVE ALL SCRAPS OF YARN because you will need them for projects!
IDEAS:  Fringes on scarves, scrappy scarf (see my blog post), "hair" for a doll.  Some will be long enough to crochet into a bracelet or ring.  You can string yarn through homemade books made from greeting cards.  Make a fringe "banner"  for your next party.  They can be made into "wall art."
