Our senior mobile home community's crafters (all 5 of us) have already begun making scarves, fingerless gloves, and caps, to build up our stash for when the nights begin to deliver our bone-chilling desert cold and winds.
In case you don't remember, or are new to this blog, I'm posting a pair of links.
One is to a simple scarf for the homeless. It is a good way to use up small amounts of yarn, too. This pattern makes a loosely crocheted scarf that is long enough to toss over the head and ears, or wrap around the neck at least one time.
The other link is a tip for keeping track of how many rows you have done on the scarf. Because the pattern is so simple, the rows can feel like it's taking forever and I hated counting them over and over to see how far I had come.
I hope you find these useful. I have already made 3 scarves in the past two weeks. One is a combo of brown and rust; another is brown and hunter green; and the other is all different shades of reds and rusts and even a smidgeon of orange (in varying size stripes, depending on how much scrap yarn I had of each).
This pattern is great for quick and easy holiday gifts, too - for these, you'd probably add some fringe or a scalloped edge at top and bottom.
Enjoy.
