white scarf


I haven't done a lot of crocheting lately. However, one day at church a lady had a scarf on that was made with fun fur or boa yarn. I commented on it and she said a friend made it for her. Somehow that got me started again. I usually do quilting stuff while watching tv downstairs. But I've started switching to crochet for the hour before I go to sleep.
This is the first one that I've done in a while.
For those wondering how I made this...
I used one strand of boa yarn and one strand of Worsted Weight White yarn, crocheting them together.The bad thing is that I am not sure about some of the details. I think I used an "I" hook. The row was 8 stitches across, and I used double crochet stitch.So I probably chained 10 and then dc in the 4th chain and each across.I use the chain 3 as the first dc, so the last dc is put in the chain space at the end of the row.I hope that makes sense. I don't have pics up of them yet, but later I used 2 strands of fun fur with the same "pattern" and I thought it worked up quite nice. When I take more pics, I'll try to take some pics of them.
The one thing I've noticed this year (at least in NY) is that scarves are seeming to be longer than last year. Probably some wider too, but I don't like them wider so don't... LOL.Oh btw, the white scarf used 2 skeins of the boa yarn.
