Feathers and fans - a crochet scarf


As promised, here are some photo's (post blocking) of the scarf I made earlier this month to give to my SIL for her birthday.  I was looking for something quite light and airy, as opposed to bulky and heavy as my SIL lives in Brisbane. 

You might be asking yourself, "why did she give a scarf to someone living in Brisbane???" well the answer is, it does get quite nippy in the mornings in winter where she lives - and she is a scarfy kinda person! 
Plus, I am still trying to stick to my giving handmade wherever possible.


After trawling through all the wonderful patterns on Ravelry, I fell in love with this pattern (among many others I might add).  It fit the bill of being light and airy and was gorgeous yet fairly simple to boot. 
I used two skeins of Moda Vera Merino, deliberately keeping the scarf fairly short, again with the light and airy..................


I love how this scarf turned out, sometimes it's a little difficult to give away the things I make......... 
Hmmm, but with all the fantastic patterns available I'm hoping to make one (or two) scarves for myself this winter.

  2. Love it Fran! Especially the colour. Being an ex BrisVegas girl I reckon the open weave of that will be perfect.

  4. It's gorgeous! So gorgeous in fact that I'm about to click on the link right now to see if it would be managable for a newbie crocheter like me to make. I'm in love with it. I personally wouldn't have been able to give it away so your sisters a lucky lady!
