I started a new project with our favorite Japanese flower pattern. Since finishing the blanket for my brother and his wife, I have not crocheted any flowers. My mom has not made any requests since I started crocheted back in January and when I was in Buffalo I asked her what I could make for her and she asked for a scarf. About 6 years ago before I moved to Florida, my mom started knitting again. She made me a beautiful green scarf which was extra great during St. Patrick's Day, which is a holiday taken very seriously in South Buffalo.
Anyways, she told me the different color jackets/coats she wears and I decided she needs two different scarves! So the first one is underway...
Since my mom wants it to be a scarf (not a shawl like scarf), I am thinking just 2 rows of about 9 or 10 flowers? I will take some measurements once I have 18 flowers together and see how long it is and how it feels. For her second scarf I am thinking hexagons. I saw some neat scarves with smaller sized hexagons.
Have a fabulous week friends,
xoxo Susan
That looks like its going to be beautiful- I bet your Mother will love it!
ReplyDeleteSusan, I made a Japanese flower scarf with one row, but the flowers were big so it was perfect. I wear it all the time and get raving compliments on it. Try one row first so it isn't too wide. Your colors are beautiful.

I love your choice of colors Susan, they are pretty. Looking forward for your finished scarf for your mother.
