Granny Stripes Scarf {free crochet pattern}

I told you all last week that I am going to be crocheting some warm weather items to donate to those affected by Hurricane Sandy.
I thought I would share with you the pattern of one of the scarves I am making to donate. I wanted something simple and fairly quick to work up, so I decided to go with Granny Stripes. I've worked with Granny Stripes before when making my daughter's Color Burst Blanket, and thought it would make a warm, pretty scarf.

 I decide to work the scarf lengthwise, leaving longer ends as I switched colors. The ends will blend in nicely with a fringe added at the end. No worrying about weaving in all of those loose ends!

Granny Stripes Color-Burst Blanket (Free Crochet Pattern)

Finally, as promised, the blanket I made for my daughter!

This is a simple Granny Stripe blanket. I like granny stripes because they are easy to do, and you can use color to make many different patterns. I played around with  color patterns (on paper), until I figured out one that I liked.
My finished blanket measures 50x50 inches. Had I realized that it would end up a perfect square, I probably would have made it narrower, and repeated the color pattern one more time in length. But my daughter is quite happy with hers being square, so I will be too.
