A skinny scarf, a basic bracelet, and a hat

[gaylefrancisdesigns]

Hi, I'm Gayle! I'm new to crochetville as a member but have enjoyed the site as an observer for a good long while now. I've just recently [since roughly May] gotten into designing my own patterns, and I'm quite proud so far.

 

First up, a free bracelet pattern:

It's a great way to kill off the very last of a skein of yarn. My 8-year-old niece and my 23-year-old sister-in-law both love them.

 

And now a free, one-skein scarf pattern:

I love long, skinny scarves, and this one fits the bill perfectly. I can wrap it around again and again, and I never feel like I'm being strangled.

 

I also have a hat pattern that I recently put up. It's for sale for $5.00, and I've included instructions for making the hat for head sizes 20"-24". I'm calling it "Fuzzed to be Tied" because I'm a nerd. The pattern works for both a fuzzy yarn or a non-fuzzy yarn, and looks fantastic.

It's also warm and cozy, which is my number one priority for hats. The pattern is e-mailed in PDF format, for easy download and printing.

 

I would love to know what you think, and I'm also a huge fan of seeing pictures of finished projects!

Fab! I'm making a bunch myself for a fundraiser for my chapter of Jane D.O.E. What are the plans for yours?

Two of them are for me Some of the girls at work want to lay claim to them. I plan on making some for Christmas gifts. I have a future plan of making some pink ones for the next Relay for Life I will walk in to raise funds.
