I used the leftover yarn I had from my www.FolkTale.Etsy.com purchase - It wasn't long enough to make a neck warmer, so I had to improvise with what I had laying around! Not bad, if I do say so myself!

Also features a little red wooden bead and a crocheted flower!

I'm not going to try and rewrite this pattern. I found it in Donna Kooler's Encyclopedia of Crochet. Page 142. It's called the Solid Shell Stitch. My starting CH was 12 + 1.

I love how the shells separate the colors and you can really see the pattern forming within the colors! (c;

Now, I have no more beautiful yarn - need to buy some more! (c;

My vacation is over - back to work on Monday. Can you hear me crying???

Complete Scarf, A Scalloped Ending

Well - the yarn came in the mail yesterday. And needless to say, the scarf is complete today. I think I was just too darn excited about the colors - and combine that with a whole week off of work, and you get this beauty.

I don't like writing patterns, but here it goes for anyone who's interested.

CH 15 (Plus one for turning)
SC for 2 rows (Allow 1 turinging chain at the end of each row)
DC for 1 row (Chain 2 at the end of each row)

Repeat until you get your desired length.

Scalloped endings:
CH 2, 2 DC in same stitch
Skip 2 SC
Slip stitch in on SC
Skip 1 SC
5 DC in next SC
Skip 1 SC
Slip stitch in next SC
Skip 1 SC
5 DC in next SC
Skip 1 SC
Slip Stitch in next SC
Skip 2 SC
2 DC, CH2, Slip Stitch in last stitch

WHEW!

I have no idea if any of that is correct.

Felt pin handcraft by moi. I used a button, some sequins, some seed beads, and size 10 crochet thread. It is only pinned to the scarf and can come off at any time.

This scarf reminds me of something Urban Outfitters or Anthropologie would sell for a million dollars! But this one is mine, and it is not for sale, so sorry!

I know I keep repeating myself, but awesome yarn is by
www.FolkTale.Etsy.com

YAY!

AND PS I have a tiny bit of yarn left over - maybe I'll make a little plushie animal if it snows tomorrow! I just need to get some more stuffing!
