Oversized Scarf Crochet Pattern

As we near the end of the year, I'm reminded of the numerous blessings and difficult trials that the past 12 months have held.

The decision to sponsor a child was by far the best choice I made, since it constantly reminds me of how grateful I should be for everything. The good and the bad.

I also created the most amazing memories/inside jokes with my wonderful friends. They are honestly the loveliest and funniest people ever!

Even being able to care for my mum this year after she had surgery was such a blessing, since I was finally able to be there for her for a change. She's always been so selfless, touching the lives of everyone around her with love and kindness.

True, 2014 was one of the busiest years I've had to date, but I wouldn't have wanted it any other way! It might have been a bit crazy, but I enjoyed every single second since I was surrounded by the people I love!

So now that that's out of the way, I hope you enjoy my last blogpost of 2014. I look forward to creating more in the future!

Taking your 12.00mm crochet hook and super bulky yarn, start of by making a Slip Knot, then crochet 20 Chains.

Repeat the fringe on the other end of the scarf.

Row 15~ Repeat row 3.

Row 16~ Single Crochet all around the edge of your pocket. {Note: When you reach the corners, crochet 1 single crochet in that stitch. Chain 2, then crochet 1 single crochet into the same stitch again to create a nice corner.} Slip Stitch into the first single crochet.
Fasten off, and weave in loose ends.
Repeat pocket pattern once more to make a pair.
Now taking your tapestry needle and yarn, sew one pocket onto the top of each end of the scarf.
