Two Faced Scarf Free Crochet Pattern

Thank you for stopping by Jo’s Crafty Hook! In today’s post you will find my Two Faced Scarf Free Crochet Pattern.

Have you ever crocheted a scarf and the design looks great on one side, but the other side of the item is upside down? Well I have. When making a design I want to see the design the right way on both sides. That is how I designed the Two Faced Scarf Crochet Pattern, seeing the pattern the right way on both sides.

The added bonus is they are made with 100% cotton and are machine washable. The face scrubbies and washcloths would also make a perfect gift for those women in your life!

Here are some testimonials from my testers:

500-600 yds of #4 Worsted Weight Yarn
Scissors
Tapestry Needle

Adding Waist Tie at the end of the row here.

****************************************************

Customizing:

The tool belt can be crocheted for anyone. Below you will find the gauge broken down into inches for that perfect fit.

Step 1:
Measure the front side of the waist from 1 hip to the other. This will be your main tool belt piece.

Step 2:
Using your measurements from Step 1, divide the amount of stitches needed in half, this will give you your waist tie measurements.

**If you would like to make the waist ties longer, be sure to add the amount of stitches needed before you begin crocheting the tool belt**

Step 3:
For the height of the tool belt, measure from the hips down to mid-thigh. This will decide the number of rows you add before the waist ties are added.

Step 4:
Use the gauge below to choose the number of rows needed to meet the tool belt height.

Step 5:
Choose which option of the tool belt you would like to make and move on to the pattern below. Again, Option 1 adds waist ties right to the tool belt and Option 2 allows you to make them separately.

Gauge:
3 st x 2 rows = 1”
6 st x 4 rows = 2”
9 st x 6 rows = 3”
12 st x 8 rows = 4 “

There is a story behind the creation of the BlueBerry Waffle Beanie. I designed a hat 2 years ago for Lion Brand Yarn and their #HatNotHate hat drive called the Blue Seuss Slouchy Hat. To show my support again this year, I designed the 2 versions of the BlueBerry Waffle Beanie. Here is what Lion Brand has to say about #HatNotHate:

“With #HatNotHate Lion Brand Yarn hopes to increase awareness on the impact of bullying has on children, teens and adults by rallying together and crafting blue hats to proudly wear throughout the month of October, National Bullying Prevention Month. With your help we hope to create a new “craftivist” movement to send the message that bullying in unacceptable.”

My daughter experienced Bullying and seen some of the harsh side effects Bullying can cause. This is why I feel SO strongly and have been designing Blue Hats to show my support against this cruel behavior. Because my daughter loves Waffles I decided to design this waffle stitch beanie to show my support. You will find 2 versions of the BlueBerry Waffle Beanie in this post.

Using your tapestry needle fasten off and weave in ends.

The Straps can be placed anywhere you like or be made as long as you like. Below is how I did mine.

Straps:

Make 2 using the J Hook

Straps will be worked around the beginning chain.

Step 1: ch 81. sc in the blo of the 2nd ch from hook and each st across. (80 sc), sc in back loop

Step 4: Place 2 more sc in last st, sl st in 1st sc to join. (82 sc) Total sc around 164.

Fasten off and weave in ends.

Strap Assembly:

First Strap:

Step 1: Find the V-St that lines up with the end rows of the purse (this is your starting point)
Step 2: count 3 V-St to the Right and feed 1 strap through the front in the space between the 3rd & 4th V-Stitch from the starting spot.
Step 3: Tie a knot at the end of the strap leaving 5-7 sc showing.
Step 4: Count over 7 V-St and feed the remaining strap from the inside of the Purse out.
Step 5: Tie a Knot at the end of the Strap leaving 5-7 sc showing.

Second Strap:

Step 1: From the Starting Point count 3 V-Stitches to the Left and feed 1 strap through the front in the space between the 3rd & 4th V-Stitch from the starting spot.
Step 2: Tie a knot at the end of the Strap leaving 5-7 sc showing.
Step 3: Count over 7 V-St and feed the remaining strap from the inside of the purse out.
Step 4: Tie a knot at the end of the Strap leaving 5-7 sc showing

Add your Straps to fit your best placement.
