I’ve made a start on my new scarf. I’m using Sirdar Supersoft Aran in Denim blue.
It’s quite nice to crochet with and I’m really pleased with the colour I chose. There’s still a lot to do on it but hopefully I’ll finish it before the weather starts to warm up.

I’m currently working on the hooded scarf and realised I wasn’t going to have enough yarn – I shortened the length of the scarf but still won’t have enough to finish the hood/add tassels – I’ve got so far that they’re going to have to be in a contrasting colour. Make sure you have plenty of yarn before you start – making use if a 400g ball I already had hasn’t worked out – but I do love the rib!!

I hope you work something out with yours. I did notice when I was looking at yarns that the recommended one had very good yardage compared to others. Hopefully I’ll have enough as I have used that one but I am getting a bit worried. I think I’ll have a work out to check if I’m going to make it. Ta for the tip 🙂

That’s a gorgeous colour, can’t wait to see how it turns out with the hood on.

Thanks. I must crack on with it actually. It’s been a bit neglected over the past few days.

It’s a simple rib stitch, working round the front post on one row, and the back post on the next.

Thank you for explaining. Will have to try this sometime 🙂 It seems to give a nice texture.
