Just look at this gorgeous lacy scarf! The pattern is quite unique/unusual! It looks as crochet motifs connected together, but in reality it's one piece! The pattern can be adjusted to for other crochet projects.
Finished size (5 by 24 motifs): about 56 inches long, 9 inches wide.
It's still summer and the weather here in California is still hot, but I already started working on the fall and winter crochet projects!
My first one is this simple lacy cowl made with only skein (who doesn't love one skien projects, right?) of Red Heart Unforgettable yarn, in beautiful color combination called Gotham.
The cowl is worked with trebles and you can make it in one evening! This could be a wonderful, budget friendly Christmas present for a family member or a dear friend!
Worsted, 100% acrylic yarn, about 270 yards, 100 grams
I used one skein of Red Heart Unforgettable, color Gotham
