Under Color Crochet

Once upon a time, there was a Princess who joined the Army. She was issued a pink camouflage scarf with ruffle and fringe . And she lived happily ever after.   😎  I had way too much fun making this ruffled sweet piece ... even though I'm not a princess and I've never been in the army.    I love the color scheme of pink camouflage, because. .. well...does it clash ? Or does it not clash? Yea, that's why.  This piece was fun and easy to make, because t he two yarns I used worked so well together. The body of the scarf is a simple mesh pattern using a bargain yarn, medium weight, in the pink camouflage color scheme. The ruffle was added using a deliciously soft chenille yarn in solid pink. The fringe was also quick and easy, just made from a few strands of the leftovers of both yarns . The two textures of scruffy bargain and luxurious chenille paired like peanut butter and jelly.  I accidentally made this piece way too long and skinny. Here ...

I absolutely love the look and feel of this shimmering scarf! Light as air, it looks like glittery moonlight shining on comfy blue jeans. It has a thin metallic thread running through it, and that makes it easily dressed up or casually dressed down. However you like it, this lovely lady is so very wearable. Turns out, it looks just as good with my pink winter coat as it does with my fall jean jacket. It is extra long, so it can be wrapped a couple of times around cold shoulders. But it is so light and comfy, it can also stay cool in sunshine, just draped for sparkly fun. I think I'll be wearing this lovely lady a lot.      The pattern is my favorite simple groove - single mesh, nothing fancy. Easy to work up when I just need to chill my mind. The weight is fine, so it takes a while to fill in, but totally worth it. I love the texture of it. This could be hefted up with double rows in between the mesh, and of course could have edging and even ruffles added for more bulk. B...
