Decorative Crocheted Scarf

  A beginner crochet project that I look back on fondly  was a triangular shawl worked in an inexpensive worsted weight yarn until it wrapped completely around my shoulders.
  I revisited that project in making this scarf for a class at Classic Cottage. I used the same technique of chaining loops and connecting them with single crochets but this time I looped a soft, sport weight alpaca yarn.

  Shiny perle cotton would have created a fine edging but I remembered a small skein of hand-spun, hand-dyed wool that I bought years ago from Karen, who was a seamstress in the Colonial Williamsburg costume department. I still had it in my stash!
  I'm most excited by my invention of a movable button. It works similarly to a cuff link and can be placed anywhere on the scarf to create a variety of wraps.

  Finally, I blocked my little neck-hugger and had my talented husband take a few photos so that I can share it with you.
