Some X-mas gifts done!

Finally got some of my gifts done for
Christmas! Here are the pictures I took.
Had to get new batteries for the camera.

The yellow and white scarf is for my
grandaughter, the maroon scarf and
hat are for my daughter and the hooded
scarf for my other grandaughter. I think it needs
a nice pin on it.

Broke my Toe

I broke my toe on Veterans Day tripping
over a toy in my grandaughter's room.
OUCH! So trying to sit here and do any-
thing is beyond impossible. The blood just
seems to rush to it in the down position.
So I won't be posting for a bit, till it gets
better. Hopefully my Blog partner will do some-
thing while I am gone. So it is off to elevate my foot.

Neatest Crochet Pattern
For A "Changes Every Time"
Crocheted Hooded Scarf


Crochet Hooded Scarf

This pattern is unique in that nothing is 'required' except for the measurements and that will insure the hooded scarf will fit anyone. The crocheter has the choice of hook size, yarn type, stitches, gauge and closure method (if any). This pattern also does not care if you are right or left handed. As long as the measurements are followed, size will fit the individual regardless of the type of yarn used (baby, sport weight, worsted weight, bulky, etc) or the hook size. Using different yarns and hooks will give an entirely different look each time the item is made.
The pattern for a Ladies small was made using Caron Simply Soft 100% Acrylic Worsted Weight Yarn #9703 Bone and used approximately 12 ounces.
Suggested Stitches: Single Crochet (SC);
Half Double Crochet (HDC);
Double Crochet (DC);
Triple Crochet (TC);
Suggested Closures for the front of the scarf: None, Ties, Buttons, Zipper, Velcro, Hook & Eye; Snaps.
Pattern Choice:
SC Pattern: SC in each stitch across, chain 1, turn
HDC Pattern: HDC in each stitch across, chain 1, turn
DC Pattern: DC in each stitch across, chain 2, turn
TC Pattern: TC in each stitch across, chain 3, turn
