Scrap Yarn Lapghan

Lapghan made with scrap yarn left over from previous projects. Donated to a nursing home.

Baby Poncho and Hat

Poncho and hat for a baby girl, approximately size 6-9 months.

No pattern, just my imagination. The poncho is all chains and slip stitches. The hat is chains and single crochets. The only unique thing about the hat is that the single crochet stitch is not done as usual through the space at the top but rather through the center of the post. It is a little more time-consuming to do it this way, but I think the effort is worth is because the results are beautiful.

Around the neck and bottom edges of the poncho and the rim of the hat, I did 1 row of slip stitch with a white eyelash yarn. The poncho has a drawstring, just a long chain.

Neck Warmer/Capelet

Neck warmers/capelets I made in 2011 for friends. No written pattern, just a lot of slip stitches and short rows with a single crochet edge at top and bottom on the brown one, none on the black/white one. The brown one was a shiny no-name yarn I found on sale. 

Neck Warmer for Angela

Neck warmer I made in 2011 for my daughter Angela per her request. There's no pattern. If memory serves me right, I simply made a chain long enough to fit over her head and started twisting and chaining with some slip stitches every so often to hold the whole thing together.

Infinity Scarf for Amy's friend K.P.

I love this stitch combination — slip stitch, chain 1, skip 1, slip stitch. Slip stitch into the previous row's chain....

This scarf was crocheted in the round, no pattern. 

Interesting to me that the back side is prettier than the front side. The front looks smoother, the back has the little humps.

The edges are crab stitch or reverse single crochet.
