Gator Scarf Pictures

Send me a picture of your gator scarf.  I'd love to post them.

Here's a picture of my friend with her scarf.
I decided to add some embroidery... Here's a closeup.

Scarf on Left was crocheted in Front Loop Only- Right was BLO as per pattern

For the Pattern click here.
Shari sent me these pictures of some she made a bit longer and without lining.

Helen in Florida sent me this picture of the scarf she made Nov 2013. Oh, no! It's creeping down the couch!  Hope it's not hungry.
Love this gator made by Jena D.  It's a few rows longer than my pattern, she added legs, embroidered the nostrils and eyes, and added some fantastic teeth.

Crochet Monkey Hat - Pattern

I love this monkey hat!  It's so fun!  You can make it with or without earflaps - plain or with a flower - monkey colored or bright blue.  Be a little silly and make one for yourself and your favorite small person!

Crochet Gator Scarf for Kids - Pattern

Gator Scarf -
CORRECTED PATTERN


 Last year, I crocheted an alligator scarf for my little niece.  It turned out to be super cute! Sadly, I didn't take a fully done photo of it.


Left: Knit version - Right: Crochet version

Above is my crocheted  version all folded up, but complete. ^


I was inspired by a knitted gator scarf I saw by Knitter by Nature.
You can purchase the knit instructions from Morehouse Merino.  Right ---->


Here's a picture of me wearing my version before sewing in the yarn end or adding eyes.

I've not spent much time knitting and so I feel much more comfortable crocheting.  If you'd like to try crocheting, but need help learning, check out the blogs at the bottom of this post.  Then use the pattern below to make your own gator scarf.
