Diamond Strike Banded Scarf
I recently acquired Crochet One-Skein Wonders and finally found the time to work up one of the projects. There are many awesome patterns in this well-organized book, so it was rather difficult selecting the right one to start with. I settled on the Diamond Strike Banded Scarf by Kristen Stoltzfus. It was quite a fun pattern to work up. Several months ago I purchased some DK weight yarn from Huckleberry Knits and that's what I used for this project. It took me a few sittings to memorize the repeat but once I did it went by much more quickly than I expected!

Lovely scarf, its sometimes hard to find scarves that use a full skein of something special without being too skinny! Thanks for the tip! Any chance of you reviewing the book,it looks to have some Interesting projects!
ReplyDeleteI agree, it is sometimes difficult to find patterns like that. That's part of the reason I bought the book! Sure, I'd love to review it for you :) I've been thinking of writing about building a craft library, so I'll roll the review into that post. Great idea!
