PERFECT PINK SHELLS BOW SCARFLET


Pattern for matching caps here.

PERFECT PINK SHELLS BOW SCARFLET

MATERIALS:
Worsted weight (4) yarn approximately 2 ounces
Crochet hooks in sizes H (5.0 mm), I (5.5 mm), J ( 6.0 mm)
Tapestry needle

GAUGE:  12 hdc = 4 inches

NOTES:
1.  Read pattern through before beginning.
2.  Turning chains do not count as a stitch throughout pattern.
3.  Changing hook size as instructed is important to get the best results.  However it could be made with just the I (5.5 mm) if you don’t have the other sizes.
4.  Scarflet in photo was made using Red Heart Super Saver Perfect Pink.

    Can I see what the pattern should look like without slots tied?

  17. Sorry, I didn't take a photo of it open. I have already sent all I had made to the charity they went to for Christmas.

    ReplyDelete
  18. Sorry I don't know how to help when I don't know your problem. If you know how to crochet, just follow the instructions and it will start to make sense.

  19. can the finished product be given as a gift; would you like to be credited as the designer?

  20. Giving as a gift or donating to a charity are always allowed.

    I am having a problem with the instructions to: Join yarn with a sc in first free loop of row 5, sc in remaining 4 free loops. (5 sts) Would this just continue the pattern? I guess I can't figure out where the slots are made.




    ReplyDelete
  23. That's the start of the "slot". Just do what the pattern says and it will become clear.

  24. What does sc dec mean?

    ReplyDelete
  25. single crochet decrease

  26. Why are there two tab slots? Don't you need just one and pull the other end through it?
