Thick & Quick Steelers Blanket

This will be a great Christmas gift for our nephew, Asa, who is a big Steelers fan like the rest of his family!

Once again, I followed the Chunky Crochet Baby Blanket Tutorial, just as I have with past projects like the Thick Striped Baby Blanket and the Thick and Quick Baby Blanket.

I used a size L crochet hook and the following yarn:
- Red Heart Super Saver, Zebra, 244 yards (4 skeins)
- Red Heart Super Saver, Bright Yellow, 362 yards (2-1/2 skeins)   

The "zebra" yarn was a blend of black, grey, and white which created this neat pattern with no effort at all.

Altogether, the blanket measures 52 inches by 32 inches and is a great size for a child-size bed.

Hope this gives you some inspiration... Happy hooking!

Pittsburgh Steelers Kid's Scarves

Last winter, I was feeling motivated and decided to make black and yellow Pittsburgh Steelers scarves for our three nephews who are big Steelers fans.  I wanted each scarf to be unique so that the boys could tell them apart from each other, so I picked these three distinct patterns.  If my memory serves me right, I used Caron's Simply Soft yarn-- one skein each in black and yellow.

Scarf #1:

I followed Red Heart's Rib Crochet Striped Pattern and then added some fringe on the ends.  (This scarf was so soft and squishy!)

Scarf #2:  

I adapted the Chunky Crochet Baby Blanket tutorial slightly to achieve this look with two strands of yarn-- with more fringe, of course.

Scarf #3:

I followed the Crochet Crowd's video tutorial for the wave/ripple pattern and then added fringe to finish it up.  

I hope this gives you some inspiration... Happy stitching!
