Global Warming with Crochet

A chronicle of the scarves and hats I have crocheted along with links to the patterns or other resources I used. These scarves and hats will go to the wonderful charities I support. This blog is dedicated to my grandmother, Bess Allison (Mama Bess), who taught me to crochet, and to my father, Bill Bishop, both of whom have passed on. I also dedicate this site to my mother, Jeanette Bishop, who has always been such an inspiration to me in so many ways. I love you all so much.

Scarf #3 March 20, 2011

Today's scarf is from a free pattern provided by the Red Heart Website "Knit and Crochet Special Olympics Scarves". The yarn I used is Red Heart's "Orchid". This is a very simple pattern which worked up very quickly. This particular scarf is only 4 1/2" wide and 50" long, so it would be suitable for a child.
I usually try to make scarves at least 5" wide and 60" long for adults.
