Free Back to School Scarves & Pencil Bag Pattern©
By Connie Hughes Designs©

Hard to believe summer is almost over...now all the stores have  

the back to school supplies out and on display...I was thinking the

other day how I hated that when my kids were little...

I use to even cry because I absolutely loved

being with them...summer was always the best time...we stayed up

late and played games, ate pizza and ice cream!
But the kids are gone and now

I will miss the motorcycle rides with my husband!

These scarves are very easy to make and can be made in any length or width with some quick adjustments. These are perfect for younger children between the ages of 4 to 7.

If you want to make it for a bigger kid or teen make it longer and/or skinnier.

This is a big post with a lot of instructions & photo's. So go

all the way down to make sure you see everything!

Character Scarves Inspired by Monsters Inc. Mike & Sully

one on each pocket!

Inspired by Alice in Wonderland!

 This is my Minion Inspired School Bus Pencil Bag!

You always have to have a #2 Pencil so here's

the matching Scarf! 

 Colored Pencil Scarf!

 I know the first day back is the hardest...but the day

will come to an end...make a little one's 1st day

a little more fun by making these!



There is a list of materials above each pattern.

Hooks Used in Patter:

I 5.5mm

J 6.0mm

C 2.75mm

F 3.75mm

4.5.

Pencil Scarf Measures 43" Long/ 5½" Wide





Red Heart Yarns Used for the Pencil Scarf: If using Red Heart Yarns use Red Heart with Love Yarn especially for the yellow part of the scarf... it's just a much softer yarn.

Brown

Buff

Yellow

Light Grey

Light Raspberry

Quick Note:



For the beginning of this scarf you will ch1 & turn...it's tiresome to have to type that out for each row...so just know you will "ch1 & turn" at the end of each row until instructed...you will then change to Yellow and ch2 & turn.

I am celebrating my 34th Wedding Anniversary tomorrow!

My husband asked me where I wanted to go and every time he asks me that...

I give him the same answer...the BEACH...so that's where we're going!!

I got this Beach Bag from one of Connie's Spot© Sponsors on my blog...

(if you decide to get this bag and put your name on it...

get it in a different color than white it blended in)

It is an awesome bag and it's so big inside...I have

2 big beach bags, 1 blanket, my writing journal and there's

plenty of room for both of our flip flops!

The bag is fully lined

so if I get sand inside I can just shake it out and go!

 

Granny Circle Table Runner Pattern©

I just finished this

"Granny Circle Table Runner Pattern©"
By Connie Hughes Designs©

I've been wanting to make one of these for awhile now...so since I've been

resting and healing I thought I'd do some easy projects...
I really like the way it turned out!

 This was made using my Free Granny Circle Pattern©

I've attached the link for the pattern below

I used Red Heart Yarns in Aruba Sea...I made 3 circles...the center
one being the largest and the

two on the ends just slightly smaller!

 I did make one small change...in row 2 the original pattern says to

work 1dc in each stitch, I worked 2dc instead...I think if making

the blanket and sewing the puppy or teddy bear on top, I think

adding that extra stitch will help it to be more secure!

After I had all three circles done I simply stitched them

to each other using a needle & thread.

I made all three in a day...these would look great in

Red, White & Blue for the 4th of July...

they would make great placemats...it's truly a pattern

that you can use over and over...and make so many different things!

Here's the Link to the Free Pattern Enjoy!!
