At the last class, Sep 30, the question of a scarf pattern came up. Christine wanted to make a scarf in a beautiful grey/black wool yarn. After swatching the pattern she had, it turns out that it was not open enough, and looked like something she would have to wear at -30 degrees (her words ;)), which she did not have in mind. So we started brainstorming… I offered the very easy pattern, consisted of double crochet stitches, and finishing it up with some fancy stitch around. Probably too easy.
So I started swatching variations of shell stitches – simple and tasteful. Christine really liked a pattern of just shells next row on top of the previous. I wrote up a pattern for her right on the spot for 4 columns of shells. Let see what she will have done for next time ;).
I personally liked the other pattern, with double crochet in between the rows of shell. When I got home I found in my stash alpaca yarn (so good, so soft, LOVE IT), so I made this.
