A few days ago, I wondered what the hell I was going to do with some yarn I purchased, well I found it, but not without a little pattern switching and frogging. I first thought of water when I saw this, I also thought of peacoks, but I found a nice wave pattern and I started it, a few hours in the waves were not showing like I hopped so I frogged the whole things and found this scarf pattern using the broomstick stitch. It’s perfect because it looks like a peacock to me so off I went with it. There was only one problem, the pattern called for a size 35 needle. O.o What?
Well I don’t have any ridiculously massive needles so I used a set of size 8 DPN’s wrapped with a coil to hold them together and, I must say, it works perfectly! The whole of the project is more crochet than knitting but the effect it splendid. I made it thin so I can wear this as an accessory scarf year round, can’t wait to be done with it! Oh and this one is for me, i’ve been doing this for almost two years now and I’ve yet to make MYSELF something, isn’t that insane? So here it is, my first project for ME.
Scarf Pattern (I reduced from 5 holes to 3): Broomstick Stitch Lace Scarf
