Hello everyone, after making the Velvet Stockings over Christmas, I just new I had to use the Bernat Velvet yarn to make something to wear.  It is so soft and cuddly, I knew that having it wrapped around my neck would feel divine and so the Velvet Ridges Scarf idea was born...




This is a premium pdf pattern and can be purchased from any of my online stores...

Keep warm this winter, in a snuggly, crochet, scarf. Free patterns selected by Lullaby Loge...

The weather recently has been very cold and misty in the mornings and  I have been so glad to have had a nice cosy scarf on, to keep the frosty air out.  So I thought it would be a good time to do another crochet roundup.  We all need a nice snuggly scarf to keep us warm at this time of year and I have found some wonderful patterns to share with you.



My first choice is by Amanda at Loops And Love Crochet.  She uses Caron Cakes yarn to create this lovely colour block effect.  The two ends of the scarf are sewn together, turning one long strip into an infinity scarf.  This is a fantastic pattern for newbie crocheters, especially as the yarn does all the work for you.  

Criss Cross Stitch Infinity Scarf




This would be a great scarf to make for that man in your life.  I love the mustard and grey combination used here and the interesting texture.  You can find the pattern at Crochet Cloudberry.

Alpine Scarf




Head on over to Knitting With chopsticks, for this beauty.  Crocheted on the bias and designed extra wide, this wrap can be worn both as scarf and a shawl.  I love the wintry colours in this one.

Poudreuse Crochet Wrap




Edyth Blayn's velvet scarf looks so cuddly and squishy and also comes with matching ear warmers.  If you haven't tried velvet yarn yet, I really would recommend it.  It's a little tricky to work with but the end results speak for themselves.  

Velvety & Plush Earwarmer & Scarf




This next design uses the Jasmine stitch in chunky yarn, to create this super squishy, gorgeously cosy scarf.  The pattern is available at Fluffy Stitches.

Crochet Jasmine Scarf




My final selection is by Sincerely Pam and is crocheted in super chunky yarn, making this a quick and easy make.  The simplicity of the design is finished off perfectly with some pretty tassels.  I do love a tassel!

Faerie Cake Shawl - The perfect project for beginner knitters...

It's that time of year again, when we all want to wrap up cosy and warm and what better way to keep snuggly than with my Faerie Cake Shawl.  This project is great for beginner knitters as it uses only garter stitch with simple increases and decreases to shape the scarf and the colour changing nature of the yarn gives a lovely striped effect without all those ends to weave in.


This pattern was previously only available in my store and has now been updated and improved.  I wanted to share this pattern with you all, I hope you will like it.  Use #lullabylodge to share your makes, I love to see what you have all been up to.

Materials
  2 balls Caron Cakes or similar yarn 


Ability  
Beginner

Size
Approximately 145 cm (75 inches) measured across the long edge.

Gauge
Not essential for this project

Abbreviations
k - knit
k2tog - knit 2 together
yo - yarn over
st(s) - stitch(s)

Other notes: The shawl is worked in garter stitch (knit every row), back and forth on circular needles and continued in pattern until you reach your desired size.  It is recommended to make the tassels first to ensure you have enough yarn.  If you don’t want to add the tassels, this project may be made with just 1 ball.  I used Caron Cakes yarn, in the colour Faerie Cake.


With 5 mm circular needles cast on 5 st’s and k 2 rows.  I like to use Knit Pro Symfonie needles.  The wood is so light and smooth to use.  If your hands ache or tire easily when knitting you should give them a go...

Row 1 k2, yo, k1, yo k to end

Row 2 knit

Row 3 k2, yo, k to the last 2 st’s, k 2tog

Row 4 knit

These 4 rows form pattern.  Continue in pattern until you reach desired size, making sure to leave enough yarn to cast off.  Cast off and weave in ends.

Sew tassels to long ends of shawl.


I used 1 full ball for the knitted part and a partial ball for the tassels, this creates a "shawlett" style that may be worn across the shoulders in the traditional way or back to front bandanna style.


You can continue until you run out of yarn if you would like a larger shawl.  An ad free, pdf copy of this pattern may be purchased in my Etsy Store.

Infinity Scarf - Our Happy CAL Place, weekly crochet along group on Ravelry...

Hello everyone, this week at Our Happy CAL Place we have been making this Infinity Scarf, pattern by Brenda Grobler.  If you like a good crochet along then be sure to check this group out.  They feature both weekly and monthly crochet alongs and there is always something for everyone.


This was a nice quick and easy project, the pattern was well laid out and easy to understand.  I made a few alterations, making my scarf half the length stated in the pattern.  I will be donating this scarf to our local church to use in the shoe box appeal and I didn't want it to take up the whole box.  The original pattern has the scarf wrapping around twice.  I also added a twist before sewing mine together.

Here is my interpretation of Brenda Grobler's 

Infinity Scarf



The design uses the Iris stitch pattern which I love...


My version wraps around the neck once with a twist in the front.


I used Stylecraft Jeanie yarn with a 5mm hook, it's my first time using this yarn and I really love it.    I'm very pleased with how it turned out and would like to make this again in the full size.  I hope the recipient will like it.

Pin it for later...
