I’ve been whipping up some super cute, super easy curly-twirly scarves. They curl back on themselves around and around, and are just adorable. So far I’ve only crocheted them, but I’m going to work on the knitting pattern for them this weekend. For now, here’s the crochet pattern:
340 yds. worsted weight or light bulky weight yarn
crochet hook size H
crochet hook size I
gauge isn’t all that important since it’s a scarf
Scarf:
With smaller hook, ch 141.
Rnd 1: Sc in 2nd ch from hook and in each ch across to last ch, 3 sc in last ch; working across opposite side of foundation chain, sc in each ch across, working 2 sc in last ch; join with sl st in first sc. Turn. (282 sc)
Rnd 2: Change to larger hook; ch 2, turn; hdc in first st, hdc in next st, *2 hdc in next st, hdc in next st; repeat from * around; join with sl st in top of turning ch. Turn. (423 sts.)
Rnd 3: Change to larger hook ~ repeat Rnd 2 (635 sts).
Rnd 4: Ch 2, hdc in first hdc, hdc in next 2 hdc, *2 hdc in next hdc, hdc in next 2 hdc; repeat from * around; join with sl st in top of turning ch ~ 847 sts.
Fasten off. Weave in ends.
It takes me about an hour to make one of these scarves. They’re quick, easy, and exceptionally cute!
Once I’ve figured out the knitting pattern I’ll post it. I’ll try to get some pictures to post, too. I’m fighting a fever and migraine today, so I probably won’t get around to that until tomorrow at the earliest. I’m going to go rest now! 
January 5, 2008 ~ I’m finding that the lighter weight worsted yarns work best with this project. The yarn that has given me the best curl so far has been Bernat Soy. I used a G hook for the foundation chain and first 2 rounds, then switched to an H hook for the last 2 rounds.
