Scarf/shawl
I made a shawl for a wedding I went to recently. It matched the dress I wore. It's simple treble crochet made using DMC Petra Number 5 in navy using a 5mm hook to give it a lacy look. This is what it looks like:
I'm very pleased with the triple layer flower I added to the bottom. It's a pattern from Lucy at Attic 24 and gives the best result I've seen. I've tried two others and her tutorial is nice and clear and includes a pattern for a leaf.
I've made three now to add to the shawl so that I can wear it as a scarf and it looks more colourful and interesting than it would if it was just navy. I'm going to keep making them and adding them until I feel like I've got enough. They are all made in DMC Petra Number 5 with a 2mm hook. These are the three I've made so far:
I like to crochet while I watch television. The other day I watched tv without a hook in my hand and ended up doing far too much snacking!
Have a very Happy Christmas.
