Fur Scarves?

[Guest mishakitty78]

<If I posted this here already, I appologize, but I've been sick, had a comp crash and just wanted to get back to my crochet>

 

When you make a fun fur esque crochet scarf, do you

1. Use two strands together (1 ball each)

 

or

 

2. Use two balls, single strand?

 

I figure it depends on length, width, etc, but any tips would be great.

Thanks!

i use one strand and a small strand of soemthing else that coordinates

I'm with Beth. I use a strand of FFF (you don't wanna know what the first F means *g*) and a coordinating strand of a sport or baby weight yarn held with it, this is the *only* way I can work with the stuff.

I agree with threeolive and Marvie; I just finished a fun fur scarf (knitted, but I could hardly see what I was doing!) It's much easier held together with something else. I think it looks better, too.

If you don't want to crochet the novelty yarn with a sport or baby weight yarn and you want it to be only the "fur" you could crochet BETWEEN the stitches. You still can't see it very well, but you can feel your way through the project. I've done it and it turns out really nice

I use one or two strands of coordinating ww yarn held together with that damn fun fur. I usually use a Q hook too!

I use one strand and feel my way through.
