Crocheted Scarf, every color possible.

I love all the colors in this ombre yarn. I think these colors work for adults or children, for males or females. Nothing fancy just good old double crochets using a H hook so there's very little space between. I like using smaller hooks to make items more solid and therefore warmer. This was a good take to work project. I could do a couple of rows here and there during lunch; and finished it up in the car while hubby and I ventured out of town recently in search of warmer weather. (some Hilton Head posts on my Travel blog). I like projects you don't have to worry much about counting or measuring when you're traveling. This nice warm scarf is large and will therefore be adult appropriate measuring 7 1/2 inches wide and 80 inches long. I like scarves large enough to be wrapped around twice for warmth, or used as a head and neck scarf at the same time (at least for women).

If memory serves me right this yarn ombre mix is very close to the colors I used way back in the day when I made my very first scarf. It was one of those little head scarves you tie under your chin. Anyone old enough to remember what I'm talking about? lol

I love long scarves. Sometimes, I can't wrap the short ones around exactly the way I like them. I feel warmer with the long ones. This one is really nice!
