Making a Snowflake . . . in a scarf
Categories:
Creative Happy Life, Crocheting
It doesn’t snow where I live, it just doesn’t get cold enough. This means I’m generally not inspired by snowflakes, I save this for trips to the snowfields.
When I came across the pattern for a snowflake scarf in Interweave Crochet Accessories 2012 I knew I had the perfect yarns in my stash for it – a multi coloured silk for the snowflake and an undyed merino-silk blend for the main colour. I altered the pattern to make the multi-coloured-silk-snowflakes stand out – after all, it’s not every day you see snowflakes in silk!
This crochet technique uses two strands of yarn. The yarn that’s being seen is wrapped around the other yarn and the wrapping yarn is alternated to create the coloured pattern. This produces a textile that looks good on both sides.
The yarns were dreamy to work with, they feel beautiful. I believe that if you can afford high quality yarns then buy them – they make the creating and wearing of the garment much more enjoyable.
You can find this scarf on Ravelry here.
What inspires you?
Cheers,
Lynda.

Hi! I’m Lynda (she/her) and I’m the lady behind Homelea Lass.
I’m here to help you improve your crochet skills and to help you find peace and happiness in your creative time.
In 2012 I was knocked down by debilitating chronic fatigue that put an end to my blossoming career as a Civil Engineer and Project Manager.
Early on in my illness, I discovered that I could crochet without draining my energy, so I spent my days crocheting, researching yarns and designing – this is how Homelea Lass was born.
My experience with chronic illness has guided me to combine my passion for exceptional design and crochet. I’ve developed a way of crocheting that’s enjoyable, easy to understand, and maximises it’s relaxing and wellbeing properties.
As my healing journey has progressed, Homelea Lass has grown, and I feel blessed that I can share my love of Australian merino wool, chunky crochet and creativity with you.
