Crocheted Scarf and Cowl

Before I started classes I crocheted a couple of scarves for this winter. I'm wearing one today so I took a picture and thought I'd share. I love the color, but I can't remember what it was called! It might have been Crisp White, but  I do know it was a  Lionbrand Vanna's Choice yarn though.
I wanted to crochet a scarf that looked like it was knitted and my inspiration was a cashmere scarf that I saw on Target.com. I just did a search for "ribbed crochet stitch" and found a great tutorial. It's a single crochet stitch, but crocheted in the loop underneath the back loop and worked lengthwise.

The only problem is I didn't make it long enough. :o( I thought about making  another one and then sewing them together that way I can loop it and wear it a couple of different ways, but I haven't decided yet.

I also crocheted this cowl in a cream color.  This is a very simple pattern, just a single crochet worked in the back loops, 46 st across and as long as you want it.  I shortened mine up a little, but it still hangs down quite a bit.




















I really enjoyed making them both, they were very simple and quick, plus they keep me nice and warm on those chilly days!
