Hex Scarf


I thought I would through in something other than a pair of shoes (although I have two more little girl shoes to debut). A couple of weeks ago I received a clothing magazine Garnet Hill Their clothes are expensive but VERY beautiful and classy. I found a scarf in there that I absolutely fell in love with called "Haverhill Afghan Scarf". It costs $88 and I thought "I can crochet so why can't I make something like this?"
So I went downstairs and dug around in my yarn tub and found some organic cotton that I used for making hats. I love this yarn because it is so soft and durable and it comes in all kinds of cool colors. Fantastic Fibers in Palmer carries it.
I didn't quite know how to crochet hexagons and I don't read patterns very well so I looked around until I found a close up picture. The picture I found came from this really crafty lady's blog So I figured out the pattern and made it. This scarf is going to a sweet little girl for Christmas:)
I would like to make another out of a more delicate, smaller strand of merino wool one day...
