Thought I would shake up my routine. I’m passionate about making hats, but I felt it might be fun to crochet light weight cotton scarves for spring.
Although I shape or “block” most of my finished crocheted hats, the diamond mesh work in this scarf really benefited from spray blocking. I laid the scarf on a towel, sprayed it with water, then worked it into the desired rectangular shape and dimensions. After letting it dry undisturbed, I found that blocking also smoothed out stitches and nicely showed off the lace pattern.
Another project I completed was a triangular cotton scarf in a crochet bobble stitch. The pattern was customized from a kerchief design by Pattern Paradise.
