I'm mesmerised by the patterns in my crocheted scarves

Here I am, making woolly gifts for Christmas, I've just finished a couple of crocheted scarves, the purple one in Honeycomb stitch and the red one in Double Treble stitch, (sounds hard but very quick to learn). What I really like is the repetition of the patterns that these stitches make.........



 

 

 

 

the rolled up scarf showing the cream edging, I used cream because of the cream flecks within the wool itself

 

this one measures 2.6 metres long

 

 

 

  

 

 

this rolled up scarf measures 2.2 metres long, plenty for a double wrap around that cold neck

'how to' crochet basic wristwarmers without a pattern

Do you crochet just a little & know how to create a chain & a double crochet stitch? Want some wristwarmers? Have you got a ball of double knitting wool & a size 4.5 or 5 hook but no pattern?

its very basic, this is just a tube with just double crochet all the way, the change in appearance is when in creating the thumb hole I just turned the work and went backwards and forwards until I again crocheted into the other side to continue the tube. 

after finishing the tube & to define and strengthen the thumbhole I added a couple of rows of double crochet, crocheting directly into the top row around the hole.
