Rainy Day Craft - Easy Crochet Scarf

Embrace the gray rainy days
and pull out the 8mm crochet hook and a ball of
Red Heart, Chateau yarn.
Now, find a comfy spot and snuggle by
a warm fire.
This is a very easy and fun scarf to make.
You only need to know how 
to do a slip stitch.
Stretch some of this yarn out several inches.
Leave about 2 inches hanging.
You will be working into the top part
of the mesh and leaving the tassels
hanging on the bottom.
Place your 8mm crochet hook though the back of the mesh.
Place one hole on your needle.
Skip about three inches or three holes
then pick up another hole.
Pull this stitch through the first hole.
This is called a slip stitch.
Continue making slip stitches until you are three inches 
from the end of your yarn.
Remove your last stitch from your
hook and pull the end of your 
yarn through this hole.
Pull lightly until tightened.
You may want to take a matching color of thread
and sew the edges of your scarf to secure the ends.
The only blues here
are in the yarn.
Loving those cozy rainy days!
