Scarves... brrrrr!

Can you ever have too many scarves?  I think, no.  Kelsey asked the other day if I could make her a scarf.  I hadn't picked up the crochet hook in a while, but, once I did... couldn't put it down.  She now has a new scarf and so do I!  

I determined 9 chains as a width is perfect.  Start with the simple chain stitch to determine the width you want, then decide how lose or tight you would like your scarf.  I love using youtube as a teacher, although trust yourself.  A problem I have often had is a scarf that is not consistently the same width: thick to thin to thick??  Now I make my end stitch and add 2 extra chains on the end.. counting your width occasionally helps too.  Crochet your heart out... or until you run out of yarn.  This is a clear, easy video to help you get started.  Have fun.. and remember, you can always rip it out so experiment!
