Poptart + Cat = Epic Scarf


The first step to your own Nyan Cat Scarf!
Light-Pink:
Start with this tutorial for a granny square. You have to do two squares of two rows each. Once you did this, crochet them together on one side, square to square to make it a rectangle.
Tutorial Granny Square
Continue crocheting in circles around the rectangle until you reach the 7the circle (beginning the count at the centre of one of the squares). Then change colour to cookie brown.
Cookie Brown:
Make 2 more rows with the brown, then finish off. [Poptart-front finished]

Step 2!
Cookie Brown:
Chain as many as you need to match the width of your poptart-front, then Do 1sc in 1sc for 1r. Chain 2 and do 1dc in each stitch for as many rows as necessary to match the length of you poptart-front. Don't forget to chain 2 at the beginning of each row. Finish off. [Poptart-back finished]

Step 3!
Pink: (a darker pink than before, maybe even purple)
Repeat step 2. [Poptart-middle finished]

Step 4!
Grey:
Create a circle with 6sc.
Do 2sc in 1sc for 1r.
Do 1sc in 1sc, 2sc in 1sc for 1r.
[...]
Do 1sc in 14sc, 2sc in 1sc for 1r.
Finish off.

Step 5!
Red:
Chain 7+1, turn.
Do 1sc in 7sc, ch2, turn.
Do 1dc in 7sc, ch2, turn.
Repeat this until your band is long enough. Remember: The finshed scarf will be 6times larger!

Step 6!
Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Purple:
Chain 2, do 3dc in 1dc for 3r per color.(in lenth not large)

Step 7!
Sew everything together.

Running Project

You might have been wondering why there haven't been any new patterns lately. I will tell you why. I am making a neckholder for my younger sister and it's taking me quite a while. The breast part and the neck part are finished, I am crocheting the belly part right now. There's just the hoodie still missing and I have no idea of how I'll make it yet... ^^
I'll put a picture online as soon as it's finished, with hoodie and without^^

 It still isn't finished... But I've got more than on the pictures.
First designs:
