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. Ā 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 2012Ā I knew I had the perfect yarns in my stash for it – a multi coloured silkĀ for the snowflake and an undyed merino-silk blend for the main colour. Ā 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. Ā The yarn that’s being seen is wrapped around the other yarn and the wrapping yarn is alternated to create the coloured pattern. Ā This produces a textile that looks good on both sides.
The yarns were dreamy to work with, they feel beautiful. Ā 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! Iām Lynda (she/her) and Iām the lady behind Homelea Lass.
Iām 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 ā this is how Homelea Lass was born.
My experience with chronic illness has guided me to combine my passion for exceptional design and crochet. Iāve developed a way of crocheting thatās enjoyable, easy to understand, and maximises itās 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.
