Learning to Crochet & Making an Infinity Scarf/Cowl

Around this time last year I picked up some knitting needles and yarn and learned how to knit. I started off with a really basic dish cloth and moved onto a hat. Okay so my second project wasn't a basic one but it turned out nice and I love wearing it. That is what matters anyways, right?

This year I have decided I need to learn how to crochet. Why do I have the need to pick up yet another hobby/activity? I don't really know. I have seen some really nice crocheted items online and decided I would love to learn. I did know how to make Granny squares when I was about 10 years old. I started a really nice thick multi colored brown blanket years ago. I had a lot of fun with it also but I didn't keep it up.

I bought a really nice chunky burnt orange yarn a couple weeks ago and hubby bought me a crochet needle for Christmas because I want to make a Chunky Cowl. I will be taking some time this weekend and watching some YouTube videos on the basics of crocheting. Then I will attempt to make this Double Loop Crochet Infinity Scarf/Cowl from Monkey Makes Three.

Do you crochet?
