Surf Practice - Another Free Pattern

Whew! some of you may have heard that we've had a lot of flooding in the Pacific Northwest this week. Fortunately for us, most of this was in urban areas (gutter overflow) with all the rain melting several inches of snow in less that 24 hours. The rivers in our area peaked, but not at record highs, since it was still turning into snow in the mountains, and we were able to successfully get out of Duvall (which has a tendency to become an Island State during flooding) and rescue Mum-in-Law from the airport. My husband's mum, from the Toronto area, will be staying with us for the next 3 months.


With nothing else to post for now, here's the other free pattern from my Crochet 101 class. As always, you can also download this as a PDF file from my web site at http://www.horse-round.com/shop/freepatterns.html. Enjoy!



Surf Practice




Ride the waves of this scarf using single, half-double, double and treble crochet stitches. Cowabunga!

Foundation: Ch 22.

Row 1 (right side): Sc in 2nd ch from hk. *Hdc, dc, tr, dc, hdc, sc. Rep from * across, ending with a tr. Ch 1, turn.

Row 2: Working in back loops, *hdc, dc, tr, dc, hdc, sc. Rep from * across, ending with a tr. Ch 1, turn. (The row should line up so that you tr in a sc from the previous row and vice versa.)

Rep Row 2 until the scarf is as long as you like.

Finishing
Weave in ends. Add fringe to the ends of the scarf, or any other finishing touches you would like to add.
