I made this scarf for my dear friends oldest foster child. A sweet scarf for a sweet girl. She turned eight recently and I wanted to make her something special. I figured with the colder weather approaching a scarf would fit the need and allow me some fun creative license.
As I sat down with the yarn and hook I just went with my heart and began crocheting. I followed no pattern other than what my fingers wanted to do.
I chained a length I felt would be a perfect fit for the girl in mind then proceeded to work double crochet rows until my heart told me to stop and change it up a bit. That's when I switched colors and decided the sweet girl needed a simply sweet ruffle.
Following a ruffle pattern* I'd learned a while back, I completed the scarf and couldn't wait to see the look on the girls face as she unwrapped. As it turned out, it was priceless. The girl gave me the brightest smile and the biggest hug, which made my day!
*ruffle pattern: (I sc across the length of the scarf when changing the colors of yarn I was using)
- 2dc in each st across, ch2, turn
- (2dc in first st, 1dc in next) repeat pattern across, ch2, turn
- 2dc in first st, 1dc in each of next two st) repeat pattern across bind off, weave in ends.
