Crocheted Hats and Scarves Warm Homeless

AWESOME, another fabulous donation from our good friend Karen S.  Blues and Gray are perfect for either men and women.  I've blogged before about this cool technique of how she mixes colors.  Please click to enlarge the picture so you can see what I mean.  There's a dark and light side to the scarves....soooooooooo cool.  She accomplishes this with a crochet hook that has a hook on each end.

I find this such a cool look that I've googled it, watched a u-tube video and someday will give it a try myself.  The lady on the u-tube video says it goes by many names, Cro-hooking, Crochenit, and the stitch is Reversible Tunisian (also Reflective Reversible).

I've tried to get a code to embed the video here for you; but....seems it didn't work.  Will take another look.  Edited to say...yippee, scroll down it worked.

PLEASE Karen keep up the good work.  And special thanks for the nice tags you put with size on your hats.

  2. I have used that technique before. I called it crochet on the double. I like the term reversible tunisian though. Very nice look. Nice and thick/warm too.
