Under Color Crochet

These two pretty pieces are as cool as they are warm. Not exactly true blue, maybe mixed with some sea-breezy green, the colors are minty fresh, like a cool autumn morning. And the fluffy textures compliment those colors perfectly, like being all tucked in all warm and snuggly on a winter night. I love the look and feel of these two scarves, and I could wear them year round. I had way too much fun experimenting with edging the ruffles. I don't know why I haven't done this before: double edging on a ruffle. I love it! And I am definitely going to do more of this. It adds so much definition to a single ruffle, it almost is like a double ruffle...I think. Maybe. Not sure, actually, what to call it. I know, technically it is not a double ruffle. But it could be in another crochet universe? I was worried these scarves wouldn't go with my favorite jean jacket...too much blue? all the wrong blues? clash and burn? No way!

  This colorful trio of scarves was relaxing and fun to make. I followed the same easy mesh pattern for all three, using bargain yarn and a size J crochet hook. The cozy colors played out so pretty, I kept wanting to make another one. Above (from left to right) you can see the color schemes of Woodsy, Fall, and Artist Print. Great names for great color schemes! Love the texture! Bargain yarn isn't a favorite for many people, but I think it sometimes gets a bad wrap. I do love the luxury of high end yarn, too, but I'm not snobby when it comes to having a little colorful fun. 😘 Love how the multi-colors play out in the mesh pattern! I made each one a little bit different length, so that I could see how it all stacked up. These pieces are all durable, so sturdy with an extra row between the mesh. Perfect for everyday wear, and keeping warm. Lots of colors, but nothing fancy, no ruffles or sparkle. I did put a little bit of fringe on the Fall scarf, because it just seemed right.
