Hello Kitty!

What have you been working on?  I've got 18 of these in progress.  Faces will be added at the end. For the pattern, go here.  Made by K provides an excellent tutorial for making Hello Kitty squares, as part of a scarf project (which I made a few months ago.)

To get 8 inch squares, I added an extra "granny" row, and either a row of single or half double crochet, depending on the yarn. Some of this yarn is Red Heart, which required the single crochet edge, while the I Love This Yarn needed a half double crochet edge to make the same size.

To make her bow, I made rectangles of single crochet... 4 rows of 12 sc. Leave long ends to weave into the center, wrap around for the middle of the bow, and tie off at the back. Stitch into place.


Here's a picture of the scarf I made for my niece.

    so cute, Elizabeth! I'm glad you left the link to here on the pattern page. Are you making a blanket now? I love the surrounding colors.

    Hi Karin, These squares will be donated to Love Squared, and added to other donated squares to make blankets for homeless children. :)

    Karin - I just realized that you are Made by K! Thanks for stopping by! Funny thing, I made the scarf to test the pattern for my college daughter. She is relatively new to crochet, and was nervous about following a pattern, but wanted to make scarves for the twin 4 yr old girls she babysits, for their Christmas gifts. The pattern was easy - although you do have to pay attention as you go - and it works up quickly. Thanks for sharing it on your site!
