I would like to know if Lion Brand plans on bringing back Romance Yarn. I really enjoyed working with it and would love to purchase more.

Many thanks
Carole

Zontee says: Hi Carole, there are no plans to bring back Romance yarn at this time. However, if you’re looking for some, a good place to look is often eBay, where you can find many of our discontinued yarns. Please also note that comments left on the blog should relate to the topics on which they were left — for questions about patterns or products, please e-mail us at support@lionbrand.com

I LOVE the look of this scarf! I am a self taught very beginner. I know how to knit but have always wanted to try crocheting. But, I need help. I do not understand the instructions past the double crochet. I know how to double crochet but do not know what it means when it says, “double crochet in next 2 double crochet and 2 double crochet etc…. I have searched on the internet and everywhere. Can you help? I really want to do this scarf.

Zontee says: Hi Tricia, row 1 of the pattern says, “*double crochet in next chain, 2 double crochet in next chain; repeat from * across.” Don’t stress; just take it exactly as it says. You double crochet into the next chain; then, in the chain after that, you double crochet (dc) twice into the same chain. Then you repeat the everything from the asterisk until you reach the end of your chain. Then in the next row, do exactly as it says — dc once into the first stitch, dc once into the second stitch, dc twice into the third stitch, and repeat. And, as always, you can always e-mail support@lionbrand.com for more technical help.

I have made two of these scarves; both as gifts. They were well received and every quick to crochet.

Hi,
I have been crocheting this scarf like mad.
I have made like 6 0f them this month for gifts using Homespun. I just taught a class Monday night and this was the pattern i choose to teach them crochet.
Everyone left “hooked” on crochet and its going great for everyone.
Great stylist pattern.
It looks best if you fold scarf in half and then wrap around neck, insert straight end thru the loop.
It looks great like that
Happy wearing!!

I’ve been able to crochet for years, so I am trying to learn how to knit and so far so good. It does take longer and HELP if you drop a stitch. I’ve given lots of crocheted gifts and usually they are well received. This year I,ve done alot of baby stuff. But I’m determined to learn to knit.

Lindsey, I love stories like yours. I’ve completed many projects that don’t turn out looking like the picture but are really cool anyways. You have inspired me to try the homespun ruffle scarf. I’m going to crochet it in the sierra color.

Hmmm…I just got an order where I accidentally ordered too many skeins of Homespun…this could come in handy
