DIY : Crocheted Half Double Day Scarf

June 20, 2012 By Danielle Hatfield 2 Comments

I love to crochet. Don’t worry, I’m not one of those people who crochets barbie clothes or toilet seat covers . . . there are some things that should just be left alone.

half double crochetRecently I rediscovered a new stitch from The Knit Witch called a half double, but it wasn’t until I found this post DIY by indie artist Jenn Ozkan that I was inspired to give it a go.

Jenn adds a twist to the half double that makes it look more like it was knitted.  The crochet ribbing was so beautiful I have already made a baby blanket, this day scarf (literally only took a day to make) and am actually considering making an afghan for our bed.

Here are the basic stitch instructions :

  1. Chain 17 (or however wide you want your scarf to be)
  2. Yarn over your hook and skip two chains.
  3. *Insert your hook in the 3rd stitch from the hook.
  4. Yarn over hook again.
  5. Pull your yarn through the stitch. (should be 3 yarn overs on your hook at this point)
  6. Yarn over hook a final time.
  7. Pull the yarn through all 3 loops on hook
  8. Repeat until you are at the end of your row, chain two turn and repeat from step 3 making sure to insert your hook into the back “loop” created by the half double stitch vs. where you would normally insert your hook.

Ribbing will become apparent when you have a few rows under your belt and you can make the scarf as long as you like.

For the super awesome detailed DIY that inspired this project visit this post by indie artist Jenn Ozkan and watch this video by The Knit Witch.

My dear @thebrandonpierce found it at the local #HabitatReStore and it’s a near match for a desk he inherited that once belonged to his great grandfather. 

I have BIG plans for this beauty!

It will become home to my new @singersewingcompany heavy duty sewing machine and all of my sewing notions. 

This means I can *finally* begin sewing curtains, cushions, and tackle a few other upholstery/restoration projects. šŸ¤—

This #Iris is one of many transplant successes … I moved it a few years ago and it is nearly waist high! 

Is our #CottageGarden picture perfect? No. 

But slowly, with patience and hard work, it’s more lush and colorful… I dare say it’s well on its way to resembling #BeatrixPotter’s beloved garden. 

Now, about those children’s books I’ve been meaning to write and illustrateā€¦šŸ¤”

I didn’t share this #watercolorpainting before because I thought it was mediocre at best. I still feel that way - but that’s okay. 

#WatercolorPractice never makes perfect…it makes improvement. 

I’ll probably paint another portrait of him this year to see if I’ve improved my fabric, skin, and hair painting skills. 

I’m thinking maybe the next painting will be a still from his 1968 One Night With You special...or of him in uniform from WWII. šŸ¤”

Do you have a favorite memorable photo/video of #Elvis?

The first #watercolor #painting (on the left) I finished last year. Good, but a bit dull. 

After receiving all of my new #artsupplies this month (thank you @thebrandonpierce 😘) I *HAD* to paint it again… isn’t she a beauty?! (on the right)

I’m slowly working to improve mixing skin tones, painting eyes that have a bit more depth, and a fabric that doesn’t look splotchy…

This #watercolorpractice is inspired by the February 1927 #PictoralReview #CoverArt by  #illustrationArtist #EarlChristy.
