I love the Spectacularly Sparkly Scarf. Thank you so much. I used Lion Brand Wool- Ease Constellation. I bought the yarn today and started after dinner. Matches my daughter’s grey peacoat, so another Christmas gift is done.

Love the Supersized See My Stitches scarf. Even my daughter liked it. Its going to be a hit this fall and winter – thanks so much for sharing.

I’m so glad you both like it. It’s a fun scarf.

where did you get the Thomas the Train pattern?
Nov 09, 2011 @ 20:43:51
I got it from Susan Baker through Ravelry, but it looks like her account is now inactive and the pattern is no longer available.

loving the sleeve-type scarfs. i do crochet for the homeless and low income residents of my county, and many of them are ill and are larger than just a size large. do you have these adjusted up for larger people.. say 2X-4X?

I want to make a scarf out of Hooks & thread Chrisma yarn. What size of hook should I use since the yarn is thicker? thanks so much. Joy

It depends on the pattern and how loose or tight a fabric you want. For the yarn worked as one strand probably 6.5mm-10mm. I have a pattern for a scarf using two strands of yarn held together of Charisma that uses a 16mm hook.

Thank you so much. I am making an extra long scarf in my grand-daughter’s college colors. She wanted “soft” and a Harry Potter stripe look. I was planning a sc,dc pattern.

Just found your site while searching for crocheting with large hooks. Love it. I’m going to try some of your projects. I am very intrigued.
