I wanted to make a scarf for my sister, for a while, so, when I finished my last project, I started to search the Internet (especially Pinterest) for some ideas and inspiration, and found this and this pattern, which I instantly liked.
I peered into my yarn stash, and found a beautiful brownish multicolor yarn, just what I was looking for! I made a square, and it was beautiful! I loved it! I was so happy that I found the winning combination! The following day, I went into my favorite (St. George) yarn shop, but, unfortunately, they didn’t have anymore the yarn I was looking for.
I was very, very disappointed. But, as you probably know from your own experience, you just can’t to feel bed in a yarn shop. I looked around in search for appropriate yarn for the scarf. I didn’t have to search for long. I found these beautiful autumn colors. 100% cotton. I liked them so much! As soon as I came home with a several skeins of my new favorite yarn (“Cotton Cable” 95m/50g from St. George), I started the scarf. I made one square, and really liked how it turned out. It looked even better then the square I’d previously made using the multicolor yarn. I made some changes in the last row of the pattern, because I wanted to use Join-As-You-Go method.
When I joined several squares together, they looked nice, the colors were fine, but something was missing. The squares didn’t look interesting enough, and they were somehow unconnected. So, I came up with the idea to add the petals into the fourth row of the square. That was it! The squares looked much more interesting and connected. I loved how they looked! Much better. I was happy! I’ve found the solution.
And do you know what is the best part in this story? My sister loves the scarf! And I love when the story has a happy end!
The end.

Drago mi je da znaš te stvari… 😉 I drago mi je da ti se svidja šal. A najdraže od svega mi je što si mi sestra (ako ovo čitaju neke mladje generacije nama poznate, nadam se da ovu izjavu neće smatrati naročito srceparajućom)
Nema na čemu draga, i drugi put! I treći, i četvrti… znaš da sam ovisna o heklanju 😉

The petal: sc, dc, 3tr, dc, sc in ch-5 space, and ch 1 between petals.
I joined the squares together using Join as you go method.
Hope this will help.
Thank you for sharing!
I Love your crochet and design more than any other I see anywhere���� After reading your blog, I understand why. I knew it had to do with your incredible color choices, but it's also the texture and depth you bring to everything. Like using the acrylic to make the center of the flowers on one pillow fluffier, adding the row to your sister's scarf. Your are such a talented artist, I loved looking at all of your work, though I am thrilled you are addicted to crochet right now! Have a wonderful week and God Bless ?
Thank you Judi for these wonderful words! You've just made my day! 🙂
I love the story and the scarf. Of course your sister loves it, it is gorgeous. Happy ending all around.
Hugs,
Meredith
