When I saw this crochet scarf on Coats & Clarke, I decided I must have it.

It looks so pretty and patchy that even though I am really bad at crocheting and the season is apparently not right, I wanted to do this badly. So I put my current big project aside and picked up my crochet hook that mom gave to me and started to do it. It was a good break in knitting a stressful lace pattern in the past 3 weeks.

It was also rewarding, and I didn’t expect that it could be done so fast. I guess it only took me about a couple of hours finishing crocheting the main part of scarf, which is like a fish net and really is no harder than making single crochet and chain.

It was mindless crocheting and I didn’t even need to look at it when doing it, and I just went on and on and couldn’t stop. As the pattern was so easy for both remembering and making, I got quite addicted to doing it. I am actually thinking to make another one after this with different colour scheme.

Flowers were easy to make as well. It was pretty much about selecting right colours to coordinate with the main scarf colour. But it’s also about using up your different colours of left-over yarn. There I go. I always wanted to find a new home for my left-overs in stash, and this scarf is just perfect.

The only thing I got to take care of was the different use of terms between UK and US. US uses half double crochet while UK uses half triple crochet; UK has double crochet equal to US’s single crochet. Other than that, there was really nothing that could possibly make any fuss. I suppose that if I will have to make another one next time, I think I would love to try cotton thread instead of this one that is made of 8ply wool.
