As part of my mother’s recent requests for her friend’s family, was a scarf and hat for her friend, Rhonda’s, husband, David. The only thing she gave me to go on was “bluish brownish grayish”, “not wintery” and “long”. So, my boyfriend, Chad, and I took a trip over to Hobby Lobby during our Friday running around. He helped me pick out this Blue Camo Stripe yarn.

My first thought was to make it with the V Stitch, just like the Crochet Blue Winter Hat and Scarf my mom asked to gift to Rhonda. It took longer than I was willing to work on it being that I was using a thinner yarn so I changed my mind.

I ended up going with just a plain jane ribbing stitch, just like the Crochet Ribbed Adult Scarf in Forest Green that I made for Chad. That scarf was made with two strands of Wool Ease yarn and worked with a 6mm crochet hook.

Materials:
2 balls of worsted weight yarn - I used Hobby Lobby’s I Love This Yarn in Blue Camo Stripe
Size 5.5mm Crochet Hook
Tapestry Needle for weaving in ends

You will have some yarn left over, approximately a quarter.
~On a side note, I also used this pattern to make a scarf and hat set for my cousins for their birthday. I used solid colors which come in 7oz balls, compared to the self-striping ball which is 5oz. With one ball of the solid color yarn, I was able to complete the foundation row plus 11 rows to measure roughly 6.25” wide (without the row of slip stitches).

Time Spent:
Each row took me about 15 minutes to complete, for a total of three and a half hours.
