I joined a Facebook crochet group that is having a Christmas crochet-a-long.
Crochet a Long
The first project is a scarf. Here's is mine done with Yarn Bee yarn in Shale, using an I/9 5.5 mm hook.
Here are some close-ups. The yarn is actually very dark, almost black, but when the picture is taken with a flash, it appears much lighter.
Here's a close-up of the pattern.
