| The colours of Neopolitan ice cream... |
I first wrote about this scarf in my book review of Crochet One-Skein Wonders. This was a
lovely little project, very simple stitch pattern and very fast to crochet. And
it used only one ball of yarn.
That being said, if I make this as a gift for someone, I
will buy two balls of yarn. This is a short scarf, it crosses over in the front
to tuck into coat lapels but is not long enough to wrap right around the neck
(I have a sneaking suspicion that one of my girls will be sporting this with
a winter coat next December...). Perhaps it was the yarn I used; a finer strand
might come out longer. But I loved this yarn, so if I buy similar I will buy double.
One more modification depending on the wearer: a wider
scarf. This pattern chained 26, which is perfect for me, but someone taller
might prefer a wider scarf. I would play around with a 40 chain for a few rows
to see how it looks.
But all in all, a successful project that I plan to do again,
making minor adjustments as necessary. And I would recommend it to others – it
would be a great project for learners, too. I’m actually considering using the
stitch for a table runner or placemats, with a solid-colour cotton or string or
something interesting...watch this space!
Have a happy, crafty weekend!
