This crochet pattern is the best 

and easiest pattern I have ever used for

I love this particular colorway.

It is perfect for these slippers, 

because it is so soft and durable.

 These slippers are perfect for out on the deck, 

or on the front porch 

watching the dogs play in the front yarn.

I whipped this pair up in about an hour.

Love the Cute buttons I chose too.

How To Crochet a Ruffle Scarf

Two of my nieces came with my sister to visit.

 They asked me to teach them how to crochet a 

Ruffle Scarf with the Lace Ruffle Yarn.

First we Chose our colors, 

Then I gave them each a hook 

and we got started.

To make a Ruffle scarf all you need 

is 1 skein/ Ball of Lace ruffle yarn, 

and an I -hook

Tip: To make the Lace Ruffle Yarn easier to

 work with,unroll the yarn, then re-roll  the yarn 

on a tp tube so the yarn unrolls  flat.

Step 1- 

Put your hook in the 2nd hole or loop from the end,

then *skip the next loop, draw up the next loop* 

Repeat from *to *  3 more times.

You will have 5 loops on your hook.

Pull the first 4 loops through the last loop, 

leaving only 1 loop on your hook.

Step 2-

 -*skip the next loop, draw up the next loop* 

Repeat from *to *  3 more times.

You will have 5 loops on your hook.

Pull the first 4 loops through the last loop, 

leaving only 1 loop on your hook.

Repeat Step 2 until scarf is as long as you want it to be.

Step 3-

Cut the yarn about 3 inches from last stitch, 

Pull the end of the yarn through the last loop of the scarf, 

and tie a knot. I usually tie it 2 or 3 times,

 unless I am making a circle scarf, then I tie the 2 ends together, after the last knot. and trim the ends neatly.

The knots will not be seen as the ruffles will cover the knots.

 Only 7 and she did pretty good.

 She is 13 and a little bit artist 

and a little bit of a perfectionist. 

She redid hers till it was exactly 

the way she wanted it to be. 

Sporting a little bit of accomplished attitude!

They did a great job and 

we had so much fun making the scarves.
