This is not my picture or my scarf but I want to share with you what it looked like.
dont you just love the colors and the black border???
The blog is a neat site especially for the tons of links to other knitters and crocheters. I found it from watching knitty Gritty. It is geared to the mens knitter, so I have to ad this blurb, some of the language and pictures are not my style.
I dont have the funds to use the lush yarns that the artist used, but I have found some gorgious colors that are similiar to what is used. I probably paid a third less per skien.
Here is the pattern from the blog
I used Zara yarn in blue, green, purple, orange, black, white, red and Karabella’s Aurora in yellow. I liked the yellow of that brand vs. Zara’s yellow - so I mixed it up. That’s just the kind of crazy I am. Just because. One ball of each. Then, I joined the black and worked the border. Size G hook. You can make it however wide you want, but this one ended up being 6 3/4″ x 76″. There are two things about this scarf: 1) the number/pattern of either 2, 4, or 6 rows of double crochets. They go as follows:
2, 4, 2, 4, 4, 2, 6, 2, 2, 2, 4, 6. (don’t ask me why) and 2) the color order which are:
green, purple, yellow, blue, orange, red, white.
So, you start with a chain of 30 or so, work dc in each chain, and 6 more rows of dc. (all in white), then start working the repeats, beginning with 2 rows of green. Then 4 rows of purple, 2 rows of yellow, 4 rows of blue, and so on. The pattern of rows repeats, the pattern of colors repeats, but since they aren’t equal, the distribution will always be different. I’m not genius, it just came out that way. Enjoy.
Oh, and
K
