Free Ribbon Yarn Pattern Round Up

Have you ever seen those scarves made from ribbon yarn? Or maybe you found a ton of it on clearance and had to buy it, but you had no idea what to do with it when you got it home. I just bought a few. Honestly I always buy a them when I see them on sale. I have a soft spot for this yarn. For Christmas last year I made all of my aunts and my grandma the first pattern all in their favorite colors. They were a hit. You can make quick and easy gifts that will dazzle with this very unique yarn. There are so many colorways available that you can find everyone's favorite easily.


I am here to help out with a short round up of patterns made for these super bulky ribbon yarns.

Quick and Sassy Chain Scarf

Crochet Sashay Yarn Purse

 

Angelinas Scarf

Red Heart even made a video tutorial for the above scarf and it shows you how to work with this unique yarn in case you are unsure.

Let me know if you have any more ideas for this yarn. Have you ever used it before? Did you create a pattern?

Super Bulky Tam Tutorial

Today, instead of working on my t-shirt blanket, I am starting a new project. (In case you missed my last post, I ran out of t-shirts and am waiting for more.)


I have been looking for the perfect dread tam for a few months now. So I decided this was a great time to make my ideal tam. The cold weather is fast approaching, so I will be using super bulky Lion's brand yarn on this project.


In case you need a refresher on Double Crochet (DC) you can find it at About Crochet. Also a refresher for a decrease (Single Crochet 2 together or Sc2tog) can be found at About crochet.


I love the way it turned out! Here is the pattern...



Ch 4 (counts as first DC).  DC in 4th ch from hook.  DC 10 more times in same stitch (12 dc total.)

Ch 3 (counts as first DC).  DC in same st. *2 DC in next st.  Repeat from * around.

Ch 3 (counts as first DC).  DC in same st.  *1 DC in next st, 2 DC in next st.  Repeat from * around.

Ch 3 (counts as first DC).  DC in same st.  *1 DC in next 2 st, 2 DC in next st.  Repeat from * around.

Ch 3 (counts as first DC).  DC in same st.  *1 DC in next 3 st, 2 DC in next st.  Repeat from * around.

Ch 3 (counts as first DC.)  DC in every dc around.  Repeat this row 6 more times.

Ch 2 (counts as first sc).  Sc2tog around.

Ch 3 (counts as first HDC). HDC in every st. Repeat this row 2 more times.

This will give you a final tam exactly like the one I made. Here are some shots of my tam:
