Peppermint Twist Slouchy

This is a variation of my  slouchy pattern  see the step my step photos there for an idea of how this looks as you go, however this is solid and not lacey.

At first I was thinking I wanted a peppermint type scarf and I found a yarn that was a deep red and white however after making it I wasn't happy with peppermint as a name ( look this week for my peppermint twist slouch hat!) so I went over to the AllFreeCrochet  facebook page  and asked for help naming this! WOW over 100 comments with GREAT fun names it was hard to choose just one so I went with the one that had the most likes! Thank you to Sam Henderson for the winning name!! if you block it, it will lay flat like this supplies: any 4 ply yarn.... I use redheart team spirit burgundy ( looks red to me)  and white j hook ( I am using my J a lot lately) * in this scarf you always want to dc around your chain 6 NEVER dc around your triple* This scarf was inspired by  queen anne's lace * there is lots of turning so don't get dizzy, and don...
