For the increase rows we will be working 2 stitches (the chain 3 and 1 dc) in the first st of each row. You can easily find this yarn in a variety of stores, including a lot of local WalMart stores. It’s affordable, has a great amount of yardage per skein and is pretty.

I have found that I really love using the Super Saver Ombre yarn for baby blankets. The colors are absolutely gorgeous! Round 3:Slip st in first ch-3 space, ch 4 (counts as dc, ch-1), *dc in next ch-3 space, ch 1; repeat from * to corner, work 3 dc in corner ch-3 space, repeat for each side of blanket, ending with a slip st in 3rd ch of turning ch.Step 1: Wrap your yarn around the item 50 times. Cut the end at the bottom edge.Cut a second piece of yarn about 10 inches long and tie it securely (I double knotted mine) around the top edge of the yarn strands.Cut the bottom edge of all the yarn strands. Believe it or not my kids don’t have many homemade crochet or knit things because I usually give away things (or else I design something for girls and I have a house full of boys!). But that’s okay. I’m planning on changing that soon and making each of my boys new hats and mittens for the upcoming winter…hopefully I’ll get on the ball about that. 😉 You can substitute any yarn and hook for this stitch pattern – just remember when you substitute if your gauge is different, the finished size of your project will also be different. Abbreviations While I’m thinking of fall and winter projects I hope you enjoy this free crochet pattern! About the Yarn

This has been one of those great projects that I can work on while watching tv or riding in the car because you repeat the same row over and over for the body of the blanket. A few times I just kept it in the car so when my husband was driving I could work on it! I do that pretty often – anyone else have a car project?Round 5:Ch 3, *slip st in next dc, ch 3; repeat from * to corner, ch 3, slip st in first dc of corner, ch 5, slip st in 3rd ch from hook, ch 2, skip next dc, slip st in next dc, repeat for each side of blanket, ending with slip st in first st. This month my contribution to our Scarf Club is the Ocean Breeze Scarf. The Ocean Breeze Scarf is crocheted with 1 ball of Red Heart Super Saver Ombre yarn (10 oz/283 g; 482 yds/440 m) and a 6.0 mm (J) Tambooti Furls Crochet Hook. You can read my Crochet Yarn Review HERE. Red Heart sent me free samples of the Red Heart Super Saver Ombre to try and I really love it – both the smooth color transitions andthebeautiful sheen of the yarn. The yarn is not scratchy, it does not pile and it holds its stitch definition perfectly. You can substitute any Red Heart Super Saver yarn for the yarn I used in this pattern. You can easily make this scarf as large, or as small as you’d like. If you do not want the tassels you can easily omit them as well! The finished scarf is very long but lightweight. The Ocean Breeze Scarf is easy to make and easy to wear. Have fun crocheting this one! The free pattern is available below the links to Amy and Joanita’s Scarves. ♥ Rhondda Here are your MayScarf of the Month Club Scarves! Step 2: Take your yarn end from the yarn ball and tie it approximately 1 to 1.5 inches from the top tie in Step 1.
