Confetti Scarf

Finished size — Approx. 55½″, without fringe

Skill Level — Beginner

Combining a small crochet thread and confetti carrying yarn may seem odd, but seeing the two lying next to each other inspired me to create this lovely scarf. The color combination is wonderful, and these two threads turned out to be very compatible.

Materials:

2 balls (1 oz./29 g each) 100% polyester confetti yarn in lilac (A)

2 balls (150 yd. each) 100% cotton mercerized cotton thread #3 in mint (B)

Size K/10.5(6.5 mm) hook

Yarn needle

Used in this project: J&P Coats Royale 100% cotton thread #3 in Sage Green (B)

Gauge:

2 sc = ½″

7 sc rows = 2″

Helpful Hint:

Original patterns are protected by copyright, but stitches or stitch patterns can be used by anyone to create an original design. Buy a book that contains numerous stitch patterns, such as The Crochet Stitch Bible. If you want to become a designer, a book like this is a valuable resource.

Words of Encouragement

Sometimes when people get married and discover their spouse actually has faults, they wonder if they married the right person. They think they are not compatible. Remember — problems are signposts to success. Differences, when met properly, become opportunities to grow and change. A good relationship comes from solving problems rather than finding a situation where there are no problems. Try not to get discouraged when there is conflict; anyone can learn to get along, if they are willing to work at it.
