It’s awfully warm under all this yarn

It’s officially summer, so how have I been spending my multitasking time? Crocheting scarves, of course.

This first one is for me. It’s just cheap acrylic yarn, but it’s Wings red and should be perfect for game days. The pattern is simple - nothing more complex than an occasional double crochet - and except for the first chain, no counting higher than five. The weave crunches into a three-dimensional diamond pattern after a few repetitions (though that could be the result of my overly-tight stitches). If you want to give this pattern a try, you can find it free for personal use here on CrochetMe.com.

my crocheted red scarf

I’m working on a second scarf in soft blue and white cotton; it’ll be a birthday gift for my sister-in-law. That one should look great with jeans on chilly evenings in late summer and fall.
