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 #44 May 23, 2011

My heart goes out to the families of those who lost homes and loved ones in Joplin, Missouri. I'm very worried as more severe thunderstorms are headed that way today and I have family in Springfield and Rolla, Missouri.

I used Vanna's Choice color "Sapphire" to crochet today's scarf (beautiful color). The pattern goes something like this:

Beginning chain 225.

Row 1: Hdc in each chain across; ch 3, turn
Row 2: Skip 1st hdc, hdc in next hdc, *ch 1, sk next hdc, hdc in next hdc; rep from * across; ch 2, turn
Row 3: Hdc in each hdc and ch-1 sp across; ch 3, turn
Rows 4+: Repeat Row 2 and Row 3 until desired width.
