Chunky Cecily Moebius Scarf

My gorgeous cousin Freya is blessed with three sons.  Perhaps unexpectedly (or maybe to counteract the testosterone) her family lives in a house that is full of beautiful feminine details.  All those guys haven’t managed to change her style at all!   When I was making this scarf with its flowers and soft colouring, I thought of Freya.

The pattern is the Cecily Mobius Scarf (Ravelry link) from Issue 1 of Inside Crochet magazine.  I used Lincraft Prism (which is a wool/soy mix) in cream and three variegated shades with a 5.5mm crochet hook.

The yarn has beautiful colour changes.  It’s much thicker than the yarn specified by the pattern, which is why this scarf isn’t all that drapey.  Rather, it’s warm and chunky.  Because it’s a moebius scarf, it was turned in half before seaming the ends together.  This gives it a twist in the middle that helps it to sit nicely.

  Enjoy your scarf Freya – I hope it keeps you warm and snuggly on those cold morning walks to school.  The boys won’t be borrowing this one!
