Thread Scarf

[lacy lucy]

I got some No.5 cotton thread and knew immediately that I would make a scarf out of it. I tried many patterns - many that looked splendid with yarn didnt work with thread. I loved the floral trellis pattern , but found the pattern quite confusing. There were others that needed more thread than I had.

 

The most challenging part of crochet for me has always been deciding on a pattern that works for me with the limited choice of substitute yarn/ thread I usually have to make do with. No.10 thread is not usually a problem, but with yarn, its always a major gamble when I substitute .

 

I finally zeroed in on this pattern which is just a modification of the basic granny . I sewed on some flowers to add a splash of colour.

Thats different a thread scarf. I love what you done with thread. Your granny stitch is wonderul for a scarf.

That's really pretty, and the flower accents are the ideal finishing touch. I often have to sub yarn too, it can be a real headache can't it?!

Isn't it fascinating how very different a stitch pattern will look when done in different materials? That is what makes substituting such an adventure:lol I like to try different stitch patterns in different yarns/threads and I always gravitate back to size 10 thread.

 

I really like your scarf. The flowers are adorable. And that is a really neat stitch pattern--simple and lovely. thanks for sharing:hook
