In an attempt to be both frugal and environmentally friendly, I don't print out patterns. My entire Domestic Goddessness is kept on my laptop. The downside being, I can't do pattern work without bringing my laptop with me.
Diva was playing with the neighbor kids, running, jumping, playing ball... PLAYING BALL !!! I didn't want to run the odds of one of the balls smashing in to my "keeper of all things me"
I had a ball of Red Heart Super Saver in Zebra that has been sitting around wanting to be made in to anything. I decided to go with a scarf since it was on my to-do list for this Yule. After many failed attempts to knit it in to a pattern that worked with the yarn, I decided to start hooking.
Get your minds out of the gutter, it's crowded enough down there!
~~The "It Doesn't Get Any Easier Than This" scarf pattern~~
I am not taking full credit for this. This pattern is so easy I am sure it's been done millions of times.
yarn: any 4ply weight will do
hook: H (smaller will be tighter, larger and you will have gaps - pretty but not very good for keeping warm)
If you want long 'stripes', chain 200 (or however long you need for desired length)
If you want short 'stripes', chain 25
No matter if you want vertical or horizontal, the pattern is the same...
Row 1: SC in 2nd from hook, sc and every chain to end, ch1 and turn
Row 2+: SC in every chain, going through both loops at once, ch1 and turn
Make it as wide/long as you want.
