mio Thanks to the washout that was Big On Bloor 2009, I’ve had a head start on Christmas crafting!
Remember this?
It’s bigger now:
(Colours are a lot closer to real life in the first picture.)
And it is officially the First Finished Christmas Gift of the Year. Let’s have a round of applause!
I also made this, which the always lovely Roopurt is modeling for us:
Here is a close up:
I used a single ball of yarn I found in my stash that was unlabeled. I’m pretty sure it’s Astra but they don’t seem to have this colour anymore (even though it looks like this colour is the featured picture… weird).
To make this kind of scarf, you make a base chain approximately as long as you want the scarf to be, then do 2dc in each chain on the first row, and 1dc in each dc for the following rows.
I wanted to see if the “no base chain” foundation row method would work for this… and it did! It’s a bit complicated to write out, so I’ll save a tutorial on this for another post. If you simply can’t wait for that, do a search for it on Youtube. It’s pretty neat!
