Crochet Baby Blanket

Here's an easy crochet project using the double crochet V-stitch and single crochet.    You can use this stitch to create scarves, blankets, and hats.

I used the v-stitch throughout the project and then made 3 rows of single crochet around the edges.    I used Red Heart Soft Solids in Yellow for the body and in Maize color for the edges.

You can find a very good V-stitch tutorial here

Crochet Scarves

These are scarves crocheted in half-double crochet throughout.  This is an easy and quick way to complete your Christmas shopping list or donate to your favorite charity program.   I do not have a printed pattern for the scarves, but as soon as I do, I'll post it here.

Crochet Women's Chemo Summer Cap

I started crocheting the women's chemo caps for the summer months.  These caps are made of 100% cotton so that they are cooler for the hot summer days.    These chemo caps will be donated to the cancer unit at a local hospital.

The yarn used is Lily Sugar 'n Cream 100% USA Grown Cotton, Medium weight #4, hook size 5 mm.

You can find the chemo cap pattern here
