I want my scarf to "rock" but not to "roll"

(I don't mean to have everything here underlined but I can't seem to fix this problem, so I'm sorry, but I have to post what I have to post. It is obvious I have a lot to learn, so please bear with me). When crocheting scarf using stockinette or garter stich, the edge rolls. So to fix this problem, I turn the crocheted fabric (ws) wrong side up and crochet 1 to 2 rows/rounds of the edging, then crochet (rs)right side up next and (ws) up alternately. This makes the edge to lay flat and not roll towards the right side of the fabric.



The photo shows a portion of a crocheted scarf (wip) with the (wip) edging. A photo of a knitted scarf with crocheted edging is shown in "tips and tricks" section of Crochet Me.

Self Imposed Pressure

Hello everyone!

I hope you have had a great day today. It's been raining here since yesterday so I just mainly stayed inside our little cabin and try to concentrate on crochet. I'm not very good at pressuring myself to keep my focus on what I need to do. I developed this habit early in life of functioning and focusing better to meet other people's expectation. Left to my own device, I just let my creative imagination run wild which interferes with my finishing my current project. So to focus and get back on track of the 15-20 hat self challenge I will post the hats that I have completed. I will not post the red hat because I cannot find the appropriate fabric to make the decorative band.

These hats have adjustable band that can be tightened or loosened and will fit adult sizes.
The depth of the brim is also adjustable and can be folded over for a narrower brim or pulled out to cover ears and forehead well during very cold days. The band is removeable so that different colored fabric or crocheted yarn band can be used to match the color of the clothes.

I'm currently self testing the pattern for these hats that I designed as I make them.
I intend to publish the pattern after Christmas.

Please leave a comment and let me know what you think. Your input will be greatly appreciated.

Happy Crocheting,

zoe

Time Out From Crochet

I met my hat qouta for this week (2 hats made) and I'm starting another one. I plan on making at least 3 next week. so far so good. I will post the photo when I make the trim it will be a lot prettier. I'm looking to see these black hats trimmed with fabrics in different colors.

In the meantime, I want to take a time out from posting crochet photos, so here are some pictures that I took while walking yesterday and this afternoon. I am collecting some tokens (colorful leaves, twigs and wild flowers that are still in bloom at this time of year). I also took a picture of my shadow.

Fashion Hat For Cold Weather

Ok, so I'm running a little bit late on my schedule. I'm finishing the last row of the hat I started yesterday. Its color is red. In the meantime, I decided to go ahead and post this hat that I made prior to my starting that self crochet challenge. The red hat will be made just like this, only the trim will be different. I either crochet a red band with crocheted flower on it or find a soft sheer red fabric to decorate the hat. The lady that I'm making the red hat for likes red color.
