I wonder if this could be done in crochet. I'd love to make these for some of my adult children.

i suppose with big bobbles...hmm i might have to give that a shot - those are really cute and my baby brother's girlfriend would love that. (that's not as bad as it sounds...my "baby" brother turns 23 next month.

Adorable!

[01buckler15]

That's cute! I am thinking maybe with bobble stitches too. I bet my son would like that.

[alibra]

Those are great...I hope someone can figure it out because they would make a great gift!

[darski]

It would be a lot easier to crochet. have you ever done a knitted bobble - not a lot of fun there.

 

I should try that with some green that I have... hmmmnn

[hayhook]

So cute!

[everkutz]

This would be awesome for the Florida Gator fans, especially if done in orange and/or blue!

I don't see why not! You could use a puff stitch or bobbles for the bumps on the crocodile's back. I think it would be adorable!

I started this today but got distracted by something completely different than crochet. It really is easy to work up.

 

I am using bobbles for the Nostrals (5dc cl) and Eyes (7 Tr cl) and then Tr Popcorns for the back.

I agree with darski - it would be a lot easier to crochet this than to knit it.

[HomekeepingGran]

I frequent knitting sites as well as crochet. One "secret" some knitters use is to knit the rest of the item but have a hook handy to crochet the bobbles! I've never made a knitted bobble but plan to have a hook by my side should I choose a pattern with them. I must say, however, that this 'gator scarf will be extremely heavy in crochet.

[darski]

This is my first draft of this and a lot of it looks good but not all of it...

 

 

I am hoping that putting the eyes in place will help too. This looks better in person than it does in the pic though.

[angelzeyez]

those are really cute!

[kazily]

That's really cute!

[LaurieE]

I totally agree. As a die-hard Gator fan, I'd love to have one of these.

Sorry, I can't share it as it is a derivative work of a pattern for sale.

This is an incredibly cute idea. I am going to have to try to make one of these in my spare time between Christmas presents. Hmm......2 hour choir practice for the kids Wednesday night.

 

I'm truly inspired - and I'm thinking about what other animals might work for something like this. I'm tired of making the same-old scarfs!

[beth eathorne]

darski, thanks loads my husband has a friend who is a die hard gator fan and i am going to make him one of these in gator colors after Christmas. Please post a picture your finished product so we can see what it looks like.

[CrisKad]

That looks great!

[~Kel~]

it's really cute

 

your adaptation looks great Darski

[LondonLaura]

It's really cute (original) and I love your replica of it Darski. Also in agreement re knitting bobbles - I absolutely loathe the damm things!

[Super Granny]

darski I know you can't share the pattern but can you tell me how you did the nostrils and eyes.. i don't know that stitch... maybe give me directions for those rows only

[darski]

The nostrils were done with a 5 dc cluster stitch and the Eyes were a 7 Tr cluster st and both are worked over an hdc base stitch.

 

for tutorial vids go here:

That has videos for both the dc and the Tr cluster stitches.

 

Much better than my explanations

 

I started with a chain ten and did increases right away. I had 15 hdc as well as the nostrils for that row. I had 19 hdc in addition to the Eyes on that row.
