TagsSparkly Ocean Crochet Infinity Scarf
Sparkles and the beach-these are two of the best things in life, and they are combined here in the Sparkly Ocean Crochet Infinity Scarf. This easy crochet scarf has a beautiful shine from the unique variegated blue yarn, with just the right touch of bling. The crochet lace pattern adds to the soft and flirty appeal of this design, and you could wear this in any weather. If you loop it twice, you can get some wonderful bunched warmth, but you could also leave it long and let it accentuate the rest of your outfit.
The Courtney Crochet Scarf With Fringe
"Soft, flowy, warm and gorgeous are the best descriptors for the Courtney Crochet Scarf with Fringe. At first glance you may think you'll be working star stitches to make the scarf. And while you'd be really close, this stitch isn’t quite as full as a star stitch. (Which also means it is less of a yarn eater!) You'll love working this quick stitch and making a scarf that looks lovely and would make a great gift. Although it may look complicated, it is really simple."
The Joy Wrap
This pattern was designer by a guest designer through Joy of Motion Crochet. This is one size fits most. My wrap measures 65” x 13.5” unblocked. You can adjust the length by adding multiples of 6 to the starting chain. This pattern took me about 5 hours to make in total so it is a great option to gift or make a couple of for a special occasion such as a wedding - I think this would be stunning in white, cream or ivory for a bride and the accent colour for bridesmaids gifts! Because of its size, and despite it being in #3 weight yarn, it could also double up as a great scarf in winter. It is one of those pieces that you will always find a way of wearing despite the weather.

Kaylee Sideways Shawl Free Crochet Pattern
"Today's free crochet pattern is the Kaylee Sideways Shawl which features a very easy stitch design. The stitch used for this shawl only uses single and double crochet and chain stitches to create a mesh effect running all the way through the shawl. When i first started this shawl i did think this might take a while to do just because of the single crochet stitches but actually i made it in no time at all and it only used 4 skeins of cascade 220 in aran which is really good! Also when crocheting this shawl i only crocheted 66 inches in length because i could just tell due to the stitches that it was going to stretch quite a bit when blocking and boy did it, it went from 66 inches to 75 inches in length which is a lot of growth! So just bear that in mind when crocheting this shawl it is a grower, you really don't want it too long."
