Bacon and Egg Scarf as Seen on Fuller House


Fuller House has so many people waiting to see it and the Netflix trailer took off with a bang!
Lately, I have seen many Facebook and Social Media posts about the bacon and egg scarf that Kimmy Gibbler is wearing on the Netflix trailer. So decided to investigate and found it in the Book 20 Yummy Treats by Twinkie Chan.   In addition if you scroll down this blog post further you will find the free crochet scarf pattern along with how to make the eggs to crochet your own identical scarf.  You may also want to check Twinkie Chan out on her Creative Live Class Page.

I personally like Bernat Yarn or Red Heart Yarns for this Project.  Worsted Weight or even Caron Yarns would work great.   Knit Picks Wool of the Andes Yarn is also a good yarn.


If you want to get creative the pattern is basically a simple chevron crocheted scarf with eggs added to the scarf.  Crochet the scarf in bacon brown and tan colors and use white and yellow yarn for the eggs.

How to Crochet a Round Rug Crochet Patterns


Large Picot Lace Rug Crochet ePattern
Once you have the basics of crocheting in the round you will be able to crochet a round rug in any style or colors you choose.  Most round crochet rugs start out with crocheting in the round and use a double crochet stitch.  A larger crochet hook such as a size Q or P is preferred along with thicker yarn or holding two strands of yarn together.
Let's Start with the basics of Crocheting a Circle
To Crochet a Circle you can either use a slip stitch to begin or a Magic Circle.  If you choose the Magic Circle method please check on YouTube to find a video on how to make the circle it's pretty easy to do.
Here is a formula that is pretty easy to do and you increase by every 12 rows (you can easily modify this for your rug).

Note: sl st  (slip stitch) in the top of the beginning ch-3 at the end of each round.
Alternate making the increase in the first dc every other round.

Round 1: Begin with 12 dc in ring.
Round 2: increase in every dc. (24 dc)
Round 3: increase every other dc.(1 dc between increases) (36 dc)
Round 4: make 2 dc between increases. (48 dc)
Round 5: make 3 dc between increases. (60 dc)

Continue increasing dc between increases until circle is desired size.

If you choose to create your own rug using the above instructions you can do so by modifying your stitches and using the correct yarn and crochet hook.

There are many patterns out there to crochet round rugs.  They suggest using rags or fabric strips but a rug can easily be crocheted using thick yarn or two or more strands of yarn held together.
  
Here are some patterns you may want to try.
