Bert n' Ernie

I saw these on ebay, the seller makes them.

The seller is mak652, maybe they will be there again.

Crochet Flower

From http://www.crochetme.com/irish-oranges. The mesh used for the shawl is also nice and another potentially useful technique to learn.

Another garland idea...

This corkscrew scarf is part of a 2 scarf pattern called "Cool Warmth" at www. crochetme.com.

It looks awfully easy! Like the crochet garland below, it too could be a home decoration.

In this pattern a size I crochet hook was used and the yarn was Tilli Tomas "Mogul" yarn which is wool, with glass beads on it. Available at www.dreamweaveryarns.com a site I want to explore too.

Corkscrew

The corkscrew is worked lengthwise and is formed by making large picots. The length is determined by the foundation chain.

Scarf shown is 60”.

Foundation: Make a chain the length you’d like your scarf to be.

Picot Edging: Ch 7, sc in 1st ch from hook, *ch 7, sc in next ch; rep from * to end of ch.

Fasten off and weave in ends.

Crochet Spiral Garland

This could be fun. I can imagine it in gold on a Christmas tree.
