Crochet "Paper Chain" Scarf

This scarf looks like the paper chains I made as a kid at Christmastime.  I saw a scarf like this hanging in Michael's and knew even I, a novice at crochet, could make it.

I used cheap yarn in white and bright red.  Each ring is 40 stitches around and consists of one row of chains and then four rows of double crochet.  Easy!  You just have to remember to join your chain into the last chain before starting on the first row of double crochet.
 

I'm still here! / Beer Can Hat

I thought I should post in case any of my followers thought I left during the rapture.  I've been busy making lots and lots of graduation cards, however, I forgot to take pics.  I'll try to do better.  Yesterday, I made this little gem though, reminiscent of the late 60s early 70s. 

I remember these crocheted beer can hats from the 70s used mostly PBR, Hamms, Schlitz & Budweiser, but I chose Jimmy Buffett's LandShark Lager, of course.

Here's my finished product.

It's a little tall because my LandShark was in tall cans, but the pattern it was loosely based on makes more of a bucket hat.  It's easy to do.  You can find the pattern HERE.
