Row A Day Blanket

I saw this new trend on Pinterest that you crochet one row a day based off what temperature it is outside. I think that would be a fun thing for me to do and every month I would post an update. I am going to start today and make the chart for each color and temperature. I will also be doing a black row on holiday 

 

Temp:           Color:

80+           red

65-79           orange

50-64           yellow

35-49         green

20-34           Icy blue

5-19          blue

4-            purple

The Rainbow Scarf

Center:the finished product scarf, Upper left: front side of scarf, Lower left: close up of end fringes, Upper right: end fringes, Lower right: back side of scarf.





 

 

I recently helped my best friend, Crystal, celebrate her 20th birthday. For years she had been wanting a rainbow scarf. I figured what a better present. A homemade scarf. This project took me about two weeks but for a more experienced crocheter or someone with more time it would probably take 1-2 days.

************************************************************************************

 

For this project I used the Tunisian stitch or Afghan stitch as I have heard some people call it.

 

I used Red Heart brand colors:

 

A:Cherry Red

B:Pumpkin

C:Bright Yellow

D:Spring Green

E:Soft Navy

F:Claret

 

You should be sure to know these abbreviations:

CH:chain

DC: double crochet

 

I used a size H hook, but you can use any size you like. If I were to redo the scarf I would probably go up to a size I to make it a little less tight.

STEPS

Step 1: Using color 1, CH as many as you would like it to be thick. I chained 20.

Step 2:As if you are going to DC in the next row. you should yarn over and insert hook into second space from the hook.

Step 3:complete the first step of the DC leaving two loops still on the hook

Step 4: repeat steps 2&3 for very CH stitch every time leaving a loop still on the hook

Step 5: you should now have many loops on your hook. now yarn over and pull through the first loop

Step 6: yarn over again and pull through the first two loops repeat for the rest of the row.

Step 7:Yarn over and put hook into the loop in the space

Step 8: repeat step 7 for the rest of the row

Step 9: repeat steps 6-8 for as long as you want the section



 

 when you switch colors connect it between step 6&7.

My First Post.

Welcome to my page,

       First I think it is important to know who I am. My name is Savannah. I am currently a freshman in college, double majoring in History and Sociology. In my spare time I love going bike riding, spending time with my beautiful nieces and nephews, cuddling my puppies and of course crocheting. In the summers and during winter break I have two jobs. I work at the local casino as a restaurant host and I help my grandma run our family business.
      When I was sixteen my grandma made me a crocheted blanket. It was just a simple, pink, granny square blanket but I loved it. It was one of the first things I packed as I was getting ready for college and I bring it with every time Im not sleeping in my own bed. Its as if it was my baby blanket.
       After I got it my mom told me she knew how to crochet and since it seemed like I really liked it, she would teach me some tricks. She only taught me the simple stuff like chaining, single stitch and double stitch. After that I started going on sites like Pinterest and Youtube, and searching for free patterns on Yahoo search engines.
       Now that I have been practicing and finding the things I like to make I thought " Hey I should make a blog like all these people do" So I did. I have been thinking a lot on what I want this blog to be about. For some posts that I make will be patterns that I come up with. Others will be patterns I find online. For those post I will be saying what I think about the post what I would change yet still posting what the pattern is. To avoid copyright stuff I will include the link of where I got them.
