one hour scarf

in need of a handmade gift, and very time poor... I whipped this up

one hour scarf

so quick and so easy... well under an hour to complete (including the wrapping)

scarf measures 145cm in length and is 12cm wide

worked in four different reclaimed yarns

using 10mm hook and all four strands at once, chain 80

row 1 - dc into 3rd ch from hk... dc in every ch to end... ch2, turn

row 2 - dc into every stitch to end, ch2 turn

row 3 - dc into every stitch to end, ch2 turn

final row - dc into every stitch to end, fasten off

Awesome! I love this! I was thinking of making some long skinny scarves to complement my tux for fancy singing gigs. This will do it just fine.

OLove it - I can not crochet - but knitted a blanket for my daughter on 15mm needles and four strands of 8ply - she loves it!

I'm not that great with crocheting, but I love knitting. I will definitely pick up some giant knitting needles to try this.

Looks Great! I can't wait to try it out! How many skeins of yarn does each scarf require?

Thanks!

Amy :-)

amy - I was working from my stash of recycled yarns, and unfortunately I didn't take note of the yardage :(
