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 #97 October 10, 2011

Well, I'm back from my vacation in San Diego. What a beautiful and wonderful week we had!!! I would say the highlights were the whale watching trip, the wild animal park, and our trip to L.A. and Hollywood. Fun!!!

Today's scarf is crocheted using Lion Brand Wool Ease worsted, color "blue mist". The pattern is as follows:

Beginning chain of 250.

Row 1: 1 dc in each ch across, ch 2, turn
Row 2: Dc in next 2 dc, cross-stitch across to last 3 dc; dc in each of last 3 dc; ch 1; turn
Row 3: Sc in each st across; ch 2; turn

Repeat rows 2 and 3, and end with a row of double crochet.

This is my second knitted hat, with a cast on of 88 and done in the round with all knit stitches.
