Blossom Scarf Reviewed by Theresa Albania on 2012-05-09
To make the scarf a little less dense, used just one strand of yarn throughout, rather than holding 2 strands together. To help keep the flowers from streching out of shape so much, sewed 2 petals toghether instead of just one as pictured. This made the flowers a little harder to distinguish, so then added a contrasting single crochet border all around everything, chaining across the spaces in between the flowers. Now it doesn't strech much at all is stronger for washing too. (Machine wash gentle cycle in mesh bag).
