Both scarfs are from similar texture of yarn & they are made with same technique. You can see how to work with this type of yarn on useful link below this page.
I was inspired by this video, done by Mikey (Michael Sellick) as he worked with the Sashay Yarn from Red Heart Boutique. I don't live in the US, I live in France that explains why I don't use the same yarn as Mikey.
I bought these yarns in website Le Coin des Bonnes Affaires (link available below).
1st scarf (for grandma)
Brand: Baya Star, Color: Colvert Argent
1 skein only for 1 scarf; Worked with crochet #5,5
Note:
I think as long as you can get the crochet hook through the texture you have the freedom to work with whichever size you want.
2nd scarf (for my mom-in-law)
Brand: Laloo; Color: Gris Fuschia
1 skein only for 1 scarf; Worked with crochet #5,5
Braided Scarf (for my sister-in-law)
I use 1 skein of Laloo's yarn (same brand & texture as the scarf for my mom-in-law). However instead of crocheting with a crochet hook I decided to crochet with my finger.
My inspiration comes from a youtube video by Kristen from GoodKnit Kisses (a very cute name!) - I have the link to the video as usual below this page.
I decided to make it 'heavier' I add other skein of yarn and made some braides. Then I braided them together (1 braide of Laloo yarn + 4 braides of different color of yarn, I use 2x white braides to enlighten the scarf).
Brand: Laloo; Color Automne
Happy Crocheting!
