Shell stitch scarf completed
It’s done! The shell stitch scarf. Unfortunately I have photographed it draped around the bannister rather than draped around the neck of a person – sorry about that!
I really love the texture, both of the shells and the ridges that have evolved lengthways. Here’s a close-up of the shell stitch:
Many thanks to bella dia for the inspiration! It worked up quickly and I found it very satisfying to make something that I sort-of made up myself. In the end it took five balls of yarn – yikes! Mum thinks that it could have been narrower – maybe the next one I make won’t be as wide, but I think that the width works for this scarf.
As always, it is beautiful!
It looks so COZY! I love huge scarves the best because they really do the job. You can wrap them up to cover half your face as well as your neck and even your chest under your coat. It’s a nice change to see what a straight, even looking handmade scarf looks like- mine are all very,uh, organic looking?!
I think it is gorgeous and looks just right for wrapping up in..I love wider scarves! Let me send you my address, so you know where to mail it..tee hee! 😀
THAT IS THE MOST GORGEOUS SCARF I HAVE SEEN IN AGES – love it love it love it!!!
