Studio Snippets - Improvising a Pattern!
July 31st, 2009
A new pattern came out, the Thermal Scarf, and it had a stitch that I wanted to try. It was a scarf using front post double crochet. I grabbed a ball of Cotton-Ease from our demo bin of yarn and gave it a try. I wanted to make sure I understood the pattern in case any of our customers asked about it. I was having so much fun I couldn’t stop. I took it to home and I realized I was getting close to the end of the ball, but alas, I had no idea what the dye lot was. I had two choices, rip it out and start again, or improvise.
I decided to look up how to do crochet button holes. I put in two button holes, picked up some cute buttons from the Studio and turned it into a one ball neck warmer. I love it.

I was talking to another knitter I see on city bus. She’s a nice lady and does her knitting at home. Well I mentioned the scarf I was working on was in garter stitch and that the texture would trap body heat. But like the neck warmer there is texture similar to thermal underware..we used to use…..
