Winging It

I have a new scarf pattern that I love.  I made it up at the end of last week.  I couldn't find a pattern I liked for the yarns I was working with and decided to just "Wing It" hence the name of the pattern.

With Yarn "A" Chain 252 or desired even amount.

Row 1: DC in second ch from hook and in each ch to end, ch2 turn
Row 2: With Yarn "B" DC in first DC  from hook, chain 1, skip 1 DC, and DC in next DC. Repeat across,  DC in final DC.   ch2 turn
Row 3:  Skip first DC and DC in first chain-one space of previous row, chain 1, DC in next chain-one space and repeat across.  DC in space between turning chain and the first DC of the previous row.  Chain 2 and turn.
 Repeat Row 3 until desired width (I did 4 times).
Last row:  Go back to Yarn "A" DC in all DC and chain-one spaces.  Tie off at end and weave in ends

I Failed to take a photo before packing this scarf off to go to it's recipient, but hope to get a photo eventually.  If you make this I would love to see your creations.

2 Christmas presents down

2 Christmas presents down and it's only the 2nd of April.  Yay!  At this rate I have time to experiment and try and design a scarf.  Won't that be nice.  I got a book in the mail today and found a really cool stitch patter that I am about to try as a scarf.  If I like it, who knows, you may just find the pattern here.  It'll be worked with 2 balls of yarn with 1 color getting carried up the side while not in use. 

I'm making this scarf in alpaca and am going to have toms of fun.  It's going to be in red and black.  Someone I know is going to make a red had to go with it.  Ok, enough talking about it!  Have to go work on it now.
