Mandala Skinny Scarf Crochet Pattern 

By Sara Sach of

 Posh Pooch Designs


This Light Skinny Scarf is perfect for wearing on those
 cool morning outings, 
through the day, and also for a evening get together.


Have you 
had the 
chance
 to work 
with the 
Lion Brand 
Mandala Cake
 Yarn 
yet?




If you have purchased some and haven't had the 
chance to work with it,
I have the perfect Crochet Pattern For you.



This Pattern only takes 1 cake of Mandala yarn, 
which is 5 ounces of Light (3) yarn.
So you do not have to have a Mandala Cake to
 crochet This Pattern.


See The Video on my Youtube Crochet 
Channel At This LINK

Mandala Skinny Scarf Crochet Pattern

Please Add This Crochet Pattern to Your Ravelry Favorites

Skill: Easy

Materials:
Crochet Hook – H/ 5.00Mm
Yarn- Light (3) – 4 to 5 oz depending how long you want the scarf
            I Used 1 Mandala Yarn Cake By Lion Brand  - Sparkle Aquarius
            (Sparkle only has 3.5 oz so you may need another cake)
Yarn Needle

Stitches:
Chain (ch)
Double Crochet (dc)
Skip (sk)
Shell Stitch (shst) – 2 dc, ch2, 2dc in the same st

Notes:
Ch3 counts as dc

Size: 6 X 68 Inches
1 Row = 1 inch
To make the Scarf Wider, is not a simple repeat.
You need 5chs = 2 inches,
+8 chs for the 2 shells which = 2 inches This is the section you will repeat in multiples of 8 chs,
 Then end with 7 chs be because we begin in the 4th ch from the hook.

Pattern:
R: 1 – Ch 20, dc in the 4th ch from the hook,
1 dc in each ch, turn, ch 3 (18dc)

R: 2 – Ch 3 counts as 1st dc, 1 dc in the next 4 dc, Sk next 2 dc,
2dc ch2 2dc in the next dc, sk next 2 dc,
2dc ch2 2dc in the next dc, sk next 2 dc,
1 dc in the last 5 dc, turn, ch 3 (5 dc, 2 shsts, 5 dc)

2dc ch2 2dc in the ch2 sp in the center of the next shst, sk next 2 dc,
2dc ch2 2dc in the ch2 sp in the center of the next shst, sk next 2 dc,
1 dc in the last 5 dc, turn, ch 3 (5 dc, 2 shsts, 5 dc)

Live Video Chat With Sara - "Cakes, Rolls and Pops" And How To Make Your Own | Posh Pooch Designs

It's Mardi Gras!
Fat Tuesday!

I have had this Question asked me several times lately, 
so I decided to do a little investigating.
"What is the difference between The Caron Cakes Yarn, 
The Sweet Roll Yarn, and the Bernat Pops Yarn, and
 the New Mandala yarn cakes?"



See The Live Video on my Youtube Channel

How to make my own "Yarn Cakes".
I have been making these cakes for many
 years using my left over yarns. 
It's a great way to mix and match your yarns 
and come up with new color combinations.

See a Video Demonstration on my Youtube Channel at This LINK
Choose 3 or four colors of yarn, and 
separate them into .50 oz. balls.
If you have a yarn winder begin winding the first color.
 When you are almost to end of the first color,
join the new color by using the Russian join, 
and continue winding.
Repeat this until you have made your cakes.
My Yarn winder only makes small cakes, 
so mine are more the size of the Sweet rolls.

If you do not own a Yarn Winder, 

you can do the same thing, only wind it into
 toilet Paper Rolls.

Yarn Ball Winder - Makes Yarn Cakes!

I was involved in the
"Craftanonimous Gift Exchange" this year,
and I received this yarn ball winder.
I was so surprised and excited to
receive such a wonderful gift!

I let it sit for about 2 weeks,
 till I had tie to play with it.
So, I am working on an order and my yarn became tangled,
 really tangled.......

Ok, it is time to try out the Yarn winder......
And I made a white cake!

That was so much fun, I think I'll make another one.


Then, I went through my left over yarn balls,
and did few more


And Just few more.

All of my left over yarn balls.
Became yarn cakes!!

I Love This thing.
No more chasing yarn balls around the room.
This one was ordered from Amazon...
You have got to get one.....
I don't know how I functioned with it!
