I am so crazy excited to share this scarf pattern with you! It's a stitch pattern that I have absolutely fallen in love with, and dubbed Neptune's Arrow. I hope you all like it too, because I can't wait to use it in more patterns! But let's get things started with the debut pattern - Neptune's Arrow Scarf!

Why Neptune's Arrow? Well, because I can't decide what it reminds me of more - a school of fish swimming around, or arrows pointing in all directions. So... Neptune's Arrow it is. Some friends have also said how much it looks like snow capped mountains! I love that, and I love this stitch. And this scarf is the perfect pattern to try it out with.
Neptune's Arrow Scarf is incredibly luxurious in Lion Brand Crepe Twist, and it's perfectly unisex as well. I love the sophisticated look of this scarf, as well as it's versatility. While I left it with two ends, as a traditional scarf, you could easily whip stitch the ends together to create a modern infinity scarf - and I've included instructions for that as well!
Add this pattern to your Ravelry Queue and Favorites
US - H, 5.0 mm hook - Furls
560 yds Lion Brand Crepe Twist (Worsted/4; 112 yds/102 m; 50 g/1.76 oz)
Color A: Espresso (3 skeins)
Color B: White (2 skeins)
Finished Size: 8" wide x 72" long (or length desired)
Video tutorial for this stitch pattern
NOTE: This pattern is worked in two colors, but instead of cutting the yarn between rows, or carrying it along the sides, you have two active loops going, one of which is worked at a time. Use a stitch marker to secure the loop you are not working with to keep it from pulling out on you! You also will only turn after Color A rows, which is noted in the pattern itself.
Row 1: With Color A, ch 44, sc in 2nd ch from hook, *ch 3, cluster in same st as previous st, ch 3, skip 5 chs, sc in next st; repeat from * to end, remove hook from working loop (place marker in loop), TURN.
Row 2: With Color B, join to last st of Row 1, ch 3, dc in 1st st, *ch 1, skip ch-3 loop, sc in cluster, ch 1, skip ch-3 loop, V st in sc st; repeat from * to end, finishing last repeat with Small V st, remove hook from working loop (place marker in loop), DO NOT TURN.
Row 3: Insert hook in the active loop of Color A (remove stitch marker), ch 4, sc in top of ch-3 of previous row, *ch 3, cluster in same st as previous st, ch 3, sc in ch-1 sp of next V st; repeat from * to end, finishing last repeat with sc in the last dc st of previous row, remove hook from working loop (place marker in loop), TURN.
Row 4: Insert hook in the active loop of Color B (remove stitch marker), ch 4, dc in 1st st (the sc at the end of the previous row), *ch 1, skip ch-3 loop, sc in cluster, ch 1, skip ch-3 loop, V st in sc st; repeat from * to end, finishing last repeat with Small V st, remove hook from working loop (place marker in loop), DO NOT TURN.
Row 5 - 207 (or to length desired): Repeat Rows 3 - 4, ending with a Color A row, turn. Break Color B, but do NOT break Color A.
Row 208: Ch 2, dc in 1st st, *ch 2, sc in next cluster, ch 2, dc in next sc; repeat from * to end, turn.
Edging: Working all around the edges and ends of the scarf, sc evenly around.
Row 5 - 206 (or to desired length): Repeat Rows 3 - 4, ending with a Color B row, break Color B leaving a 18" tail. Use this tail to whip stitch the ends of the scarf together, adding a mobius twist if desired.
Edging: With Color A, ch 1, sc around edge of infinity scarf. Break and rejoin to other side and sc evenly around this edge.
I love how easy this pattern is once you've got the two row repeat memorized! And the finished scarf is just so chic. I think the traditional style would also look great with some fringe! I can't wait to see how you all make it your own!

It’s time for February’s Designer Showcase! Once a month I have one of my favorite designers share a bit about themselves, and then I follow it up by sharing my 5 favorite free patterns that they’ve designed! This month I’m excited to share some things from the exciting Ann Mancini-Williams - the blogger and designer behind Glamour4You!
The All Grown Up Arm Warmers was one of the first crochet patterns I designed - and it inspired the All Grown Up Slouch Hat, and All Grown Up Ear Warmer. All these years later, I started getting requests for a matching cowl - and happily got to rediscover a stitch pattern I really enjoy! Introducing the All Grown Up Cowl!

This video tutorial has been a long time coming, as it showcases a technique I used in one of my first crochet patterns! I've learned a lot since then - including the need for this tutorial. What I haven't found is an official name for this technique - so if you know of a "real" name for what I've termed the shallow post stitch, please do let me know!
The Madly In Love Mini Crochet-Along is underway as I write this, and I've had a few questions about the main stitch pattern used. It's a simple one - but the look and texture of all those puff stitches is just delightful! Here's how it's done.

I hope this video helps clear up any confusion! As I mentioned in the video, I did change the instructions for Rnd 7 and the beginning of Rnd 8 ever so slightly - I think it makes it a little bit easier. As for the rest, basically, you work into the Rnd 5 when instructed, and work into Rnd 6 otherwise. You're working over and around the hearts in Rnd 6, giving them a nice frame. You can see a similar thing happening in the free crochet pattern for the Circle of Love Afghan, which helped inspire this crochet earwarmer pattern!

I love crocheting blankets - playing with pattern and color and texture and shapes. The downside... all those ends! But you don't have to change colors to keep it interesting - these crochet blanket patterns are all in solid colors, but feature amazing and interesting textures that make them pop!

When I asked Moogly readers last year what they wanted to see in a 2015 crochet-along (aka CAL), the majority voted for a year long afghan square CAL. And it's begun, and you can check out the latest block HERE. But a lot of readers also were interested in short-term, quicker mini CALs - so I've decided to do 4 quick CALs this year, one for each season!
Recently I mentioned on social media that I purchased an Amish style yarn swift. This led to lots of questions about why and how and... I decided to make a video! So here's how I'm using my yarn swift and yarn winder!

Uppercase, lowercase, numbers... punctuation was the logical next step! I've tried to include all the major punctuation marks, including the math symbols! These are excellent appliques, and great in classrooms too. I hope you enjoy the Moogly Crochet Punctuation Set!
Today I'm honored to be able to tell you about a wonderful charitable organization, KidKnits, that is changing lives around the world... all started by a 9 year old!
If you make cabled crochet items, odds are you're going to run into instructions telling you to work 2 (or more!) post stitches into the same stitch. Increasing in post stitches is as easy as any post stitch, but it gives a lot of people pause, and I've had many requests for help with this technique. So here's how to increase with post stitches!
Tada! At last my Craftsy class has launched! You can enroll now in Quick and Easy Crochet Cowls!
It's been a little while since I did a roundup here on Moogly - after 3 years or so, it sometimes seems I've covered almost everything. But one cute little woodland creature still has escaped.. the cute little hedgehog! So here we have it, a hullabaloo of free crochet hedgehog patterns!
The pint sized literary heroine Eloise has inspired a few patterns here on Moogly - the Eloise Baby Sweater, Girls Sweater, and Bonnet. And now I have another one for you - with the same palette, stitches, and attitude, but this one is fit for boys and girls, newborns to adults! Eloise once said, "An egg cup makes a very good hat." I'd like to think she'd like this one even better.

This pattern uses foundation double crochet stitches for a stretchier, more elastic brim. If you prefer, you can chain (the number of fdc listed plus 2) and dc the first round instead. The larger sizes have some slouch - for more or less slouchiness, just add or omit some of the rows that are worked evenly. The pom poms are fun, but completely optional!

Woohoo! It's time to kick off the 2015 yearlong crochet-along here on Moogly! Every 2 weeks I'll share a new free 12" crochet block pattern, and we'll all make them together. All the patterns will be free all year long, and we'll get to visit a variety of fantastic crochet blogs along the way!
