Heart scarf and hat

 


For our first month I thought Valentines projects would be fun. Let's start with a warm Hat and scarf set with a red heart on the scarf pocket. Perfect for this cold time of the year.



Now im not going to go into the basic stitches. There are plenty of great teaching videos for crochet on YouTube. Just pick one that is comfortable for you if you have not crocheted before. Truthfully I have done it over 50 years and I don't even think about how to do it anymore. Just pick up a hook and start working so it would be hard for me to teach the basics.

You will need 2 skeins of white Worsted weight 4 ply yarn and 1 red or whatever colors you want to use. My favorite yarn is Hobby Lobby's I love this yarn. It works up nicely and washes well to keep it's shape, but any yarn brand will work.
