How to Crochet a Unique Scarf with Single Crochet Stitch

I've been making jewelry for years, but I'm a beginner at crochet. I have made several scarves recently, using a simple basic stitch, called the single crochet stitch. Above are three scarves I made using this technique.

I'm adding interest by combining two yarns that compliment each other. It becomes even more interesting when one of those yarns is variegated color already. A metallic yarn adds sparkle, but the combination of a non-metallic keeps the tone from being too flashy.

Here are two skiens that are waiting for my next project. These are the same yarns I used for the green and the purple examples. Red Heart Soft and Patns Metallic. The crochet hook is a large plastic - I believe it is size 10mm.

The blue scarf above is created with wonderful yarns from a local yarn shop called Moore Yarns in Hazlet New Jersey. One is a dyed cotton blue and the other is a variegated wool. 
So, if you are like me and just beginning to crochet, my tip to you is choose two yarns that you would love to work with, choose a big hook and have fun, practicing the single crochet stitch.

This post is not  about jewelry - but it reflects one of my creative outlets. My inspirations for making jewelry often come from unexpected sources. From time to time, I will blog about these too, in the hopes that you will enjoy.

Just gorgeous, as soon as I saw these scarves, it shone through that you are an artist. To be able to take a simple, single crochet stitch and make a piece exciting to the eye and wearable too is brilliant. Bravo!

Very pretty. And easy. I had not thought of combining colors from same color way. And it makes it thicker.
