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 #96 September 29, 2011

This will be my last post until I return from San Diego on October 9th. I'm leaving tomorrow to visit my daughter and son-in-law (and my grand-dog Bijou). I'm so excited!! My mom and sister Kellye are flying from Tennessee to San Diego and we are all arriving around the same time. It should be a very fun week!

This is Bijou:

Today's scarf is crocheted using Deborah Norville Everyday Soft Worsted, color "Pine Green". The pattern is the seed stitch, as demonstrated in Teresa Richardson's video on YouTube at this link. I adapted the pattern to start with a beginning chain of 25, resulting in 12 seed stitches on each row. The scarf is 7" wide. The hat is my go-to pattern, Teresa's beanie pattern. On the hat, I added an additional increase round (with the final increase round of 70 stitches). I don't know what I would do if it wasn't for Teresa. :)
