Crochet Ribbed Scarf. It’s like knitting, only better! December 1, 2010 by admin Knitted scarves are beautifully and soft, but they take FOREVER to make (to a crocheter anyway) Crochet scarves are often kinda ugly and kinda stiff; crochet is more dense than knitting, and doesnt have the nice soft drape.

Crochet Ribbed Scarf. It’s like knitting, only better!

That is, Until now! I experimented with a lot of stitches to find one that would LOOK nice (on BOTH sides of the piece, who wants a one-sided scarf?) , would FEEL nice (not too dense, and with smooth stitches that glide across skin as knitting does), AND that wouldn’t take too long to make. There were a few stitches that fit one or two of those categories; there is a single crochet ribbing technique that has a nice look and feel, but single crocheting an entire scarf takes awhile. What I finally settled on is this beautiful variation of a half double crochet stitch. What this half double crochet variation does is allow the top of the crochet stitch, which looks like a line of knitting, to appear on the work: Here’s how it’s done: EASY.

The one that lies between or behind the "v" looking part of the chain. {I really hope that this is making sense..} This helps to make the hdc's that are worked into the chain move forward and back. I have done this throughout the scarf so that as it turns and flips when worn there is no obvious front or back. I hope this next picture is clear. DirectionsScarfWith K hook.

Spraymålade burkar – Spray painted cans & jars. När Karin & Freja på Pysselbolaget skapade sin lyxiga småförvaring härom dagen fick jag inspiration att göra något fint av mina gamla smink- och syltburkar.

Spraymålade burkar – Spray painted cans & jars

Du behöver: Gamla burkar, leksaksfigurer (t ex lego, plastdjur eller KinderEgg-prylar), superlim och sprayfärg. Gör så här: Rengör burkarna (plast- eller glasburkar spelar ingen roll), ta bort gamla etiketter och limma fast dina figurer på locken med superlim. När limmet torkat är det bara att börja spraymåla. Läs instruktionerna på sprayburken. Vanlig torktid är ca 10 min om man sprayar ett relativt tunt lager. When Karin & Freja at Pysselbolaget created their luxurious small storage the other day I got the inspiration to make something pretty out of my old cosmetic containers and jam jars. You will need: Empty cans or jars, toy figurines (such as Lego, plastic animals or KinderEgg-stuff), super glue and spray paint.

Do like this: Clean the jars (plastic or glass doesn’t matter) and remove old labels.
