A Crocheted Infinity Scarf

 Moving on from teaching myself to crochet pumpkins which you can find HERE 
(if you haven't seen them already), I set about trying to find myself something
a bit bigger to make, which would still be good for beginners.


I found THIS infinity scarf on YouTube, designed by Melanie Ham.

I knew that crochet stitch names differ between the U.K. and the U.S but this
pattern used only one type of stitch, so it was manageable for me.

After calculating how much yarn I needed, I bought it online 
from The CheapShop in Tiptree, Essex.

I used 2 x 50g balls and chose the colour 'Krypton' from
the Batik Elements Double Knit range made by Stylecraft.
I also used crochet hook size 5mm.

Melanie's instructions are very clear and easy to follow, and
it was really useful to be able to pause the video as and when you need to.

I'm pleased to say it didn't take me too long to complete, so I started making
another one straightaway, using the 'Platinum' shade which I bought at the
same time. I really love the colour combinations of this yarn.

I am definitely enjoying this new hobby in Lockdown 2.0, and will be
looking for more projects to make.

Thank you for visiting my blog today.
