The scarves are identical up to a point...I used the same stitches and colors, but one is shorter in length (for the four year old) and I added some yarn flowers to make it more girlie for my grand daughter.
The stitch I used is called a woven stitch and is normally done horizontally like this....
I thought it would be fun to use the woven stitch vertically to make long stripes. I really like how they turned out. They were super easy to crochet consisting of simple single crochet stitches and chain stitchs... thats it.
big hugs,

ReplyDeleteOn the subject of free-hand machine embroidery and the comment you left on my post : never put off till tomorrow, what you can do today . . . give it a whirl . . . it may just turn into a passion for you :)
What have you got to loose, a little time, a little thread, and a few pieces of fabric :)
Have a glorious day.
Your blogging sister, Connie :)
