Day 243 and Candy Stripe


My goal was to make a crochet version of yesterday's scarf. I don't think I pulled it off, but the results are still pretty so I'm not disappointed. I figured if I just made some gaps in the crochet and threaded them with something else, it would look like a cable. Unfortunately, it just looks like I made gaps in the crochet and threaded them through with something. Who knew? Anyway, here's what you see:

Size K hook
Bulky weight yarn
Many other scraps of yarn for the braid
tapestry needle

Foundation: Chain 21. DC into the forth and every chain across.
Row 1: Chain 3, turn. DC into the back loop of the next 3 stitches. DC into the next 3 stitches. Chain 2, DC into the next 2 stitches, skip 2 stitches, DC into the next 3 stitches, DC into the back loop of the next 3 stitches and into the back loop of the turning chain of the previous row.
Row 2: Chain 3, turn. DC into the back loop of the next 3 stitches, DC into the next 5 stitches, DC twice into the chain space. Dc into the next 3 stitches. DC into the next 3 stitches, DC into the back loop of the next 3 stitches and into the back loop of the turning chain of the previous row.
