Finished the Twist scarf

I finished the scarf, I loved the colours of this yarn but was struggling to think what to create with it.  I think the decision to make the twist scarf with it was the right one.

Its now available on my shop WalnutBaby

The colours suit this type of hyperbolic crochet


I wanted to make the scarf just long enough to be doubled over, so that in this style it would almost create a colar.


The colours in this yarn are really vibrant, they remind me of tootie frooty sweets :)


I think that the scarf looks really pretty worn with a simple knot too.

Multicoloured crochet "twist" scarf

My next project is to create a twist scarf, its something that I've been meaning to do for a while but not got round to it.

I'm using some wonderfully colourful yarn from patons, Fairytale Colour 4 me DK - its the orange, green, yellow & purple one.

The scarf is underway, and here is progress so far.....



I love the way something as simple as increasing the stitches can create such a lovely texture.

Will I have a scarf for Christmas?

The scarf is moving on quite well.  I am getting to the end of my first ball of yarn so hopefully I will be able to see if the 4 I have purchased will do the job.

I want the scarf to be reasonably long, maybe between 4 & 5'  I guess I'll just keep going until I've used up my yarn :)

I haven't decided what to do with the ends yet.  I'm not sure if I should just leave them plain, add a crochet edging or maybe some tassels ....  decisions decisions
