Red Chunk Cord Scarf

It looks like I’ve gotten into the habit of showing you all my recent crochet projects on Fridays.  So here’s another one I whipped up the other night.

We really need some sunshine around here so that my pictures aren’t so dark… gaaah!

Anyway, this is a pretty basic i-cord scarf.  Don’t know what an i-cord is?  There’s a great video tutorial of this (& tons of other crochet stitches) over at New Stitch a Day.  I’m so in love with this fairly new site.  They put up a video tutorial of a new crochet stitch & a new knit stitch every day.  So pretty much every morning I’m watching a video & thinking of things I want to make with the new stitch presented that day.  There’s just so many choices!

To make this scarf, I started with a full ball of Vanna’s Sequins Yarn by Lion Brand.  I made a really really long i-cord with this yarn until I only had about 10 ft of yarn left.  Then I wrapped the cord around my neck over & over, making some loops longer than others.  I ended up doing this a few times before it laid in a way that I liked.  Then I took either end of the looped scarf, and put them together with the rest of the loops as they came together in one spot (in the photos, this place is behind my neck)  I wrapped the remaining yarn around all of the loops of i-cord, so that my loops would always stay put, tied it off, and was done!

Have you made a scarf like this before?  I really like that it’s super light on.  I would call it a spring scarf because it’s so light.  Now if only spring would begin here in the mitten……
