Chunky Circle Scarf

Hi Everyone!

I have been dying to make a crochet infinity scarf for ages now! Well, I found this handy-dandy pattern for the Chucky Circle Scarf by People’s Web blog. The pattern is really easy to work up and I was able to get this made in 2 days. I have so much Caron Simply Soft yarn at home, so this was super convenient to make (no runs to the store in this crazy cold… BRRRR!).

And yes, I am RAVING about this pattern. I love how quickly it worked up, and I also love how simple it was to create! If you know how to single crochet and double crochet, you pretty much have this pattern down! Also, when complete, it is very warm! I sit in front of the front door of my job and I always catch that nasty cold breeze. I wore the scarf today and it kept me nice and toasty! LOVE!

The texture this creates is absolutely beautiful! When complete, it makes these nifty little starbursts, and the scarf ends up with a nice little ripple.

**However, the only word of caution for this pattern is to watch the gauge. The pattern does warn you that she crochets loosely. I didn’t realize how loosely until I began working on mine. I’m not sure if the problem was that I crochet too tightly! Anyways, when I realized the length was too short, I had to frog it halfway through. Whoops! I ended up using a hook that was a size bigger than recommended in the pattern, 10.5 mm hook. Even then, I had to extend the amount of ch st required for the foundation to make mine long enough.

Regardless of having to start over, I am happy that I worked on this and got it finished so quickly! Try it out!
