Simple Crochet Infinity Scarf Patteren

I made a few of these crochet infinity scarves for some of the girls in my family for Christmas 2014. I thought I would share the pattern with anyone out there interested.  I have been wanting some practice writing patterns, & I think that it is simple enough for most crocheters to execute. But if you find any problems with the pattern feel free to let me know in the comments or email me at grannysquareflair{at}gmail.com. I would greatly appreciate it!

I used Vanna's Choice yarn by Lion Brand for all of the scarves I made. I really love the colors in this yarn range. The colors you see above are Sapphire, Eggplant, & Mustard by Vanna's Choice yarn.

300 yards of any medium weight yarn (I used 2 skeins of Vanna's Choice)

Sunburst grannies

As I mentioned in my last post, I am working on a sunburst blanket. I though I would post a couple of links of the pattern and a tutorial for anyone reading that is interested in trying this lovely pattern. 

Here is the written pattern by Priscilla Hewitt for the sunburst granny square. I have been using this pattern for the first three rows of the squares I have been crocheting for the past week.

 I will be using the join-as-you-go method to connect all my grannies, & will only be adding a fourth, maybe fifth row. The finished project should resemble this blanket tutorial from Nittybits blog.

I hope you all have a wonderful & blessed weekend, & enjoy what little time we have of the summer 2013!
