fruit salad scarf
Hi there, it’s me again! This time wearing my Fruit Salad scarf.
Why fruit salad, I hear you ask? Well, the scarf is crocheted from banana fibre (from Dairing) and the colour is called pear. So together, we have fruit salad!
The pattern is the Stylish Chain Scarf (Ravelry link) and although it’s a simple three row repeat, it is highly effective. This is a scarf that looks much better in real life than in the photo. The long links of chain work superbly with the banana fibre yarn. I used the whole ball and my scarf is long enough to loop around twice and still have long tails. This took me a month of commuter crochet time.
Ravelled here.
Very nice Lara. I’ve gone crotchet mad at the moment and am loving it
Clever use of texture – I’d like to crochet something similar but perhaps wider so this has given me some inspiration. The yarn you’ve used sounds interesting! thankyou!!!
Love that pattern! And what a cute name 🙂 I haven’t worked with banana fiber yet but it’s on my to-try list.
Hey Lara – You have me inspired with this one!! Love your work … see you sometime … wonder woman!
It looks great, I’ve never heard of banana fibre before, interesting what the new yarns are being made of.
