Thanks to a fellow knitting/crochet blogger for sharing the pattern, I got to make this unique scarf. The pattern is actually quite simple, and easy to memorize. I had actually stopped after I made 31 flower petals (approximately 47"), but it became 54" long after blocking. It is a bit too long now, and it seems to stretch even longer with wear. I probably will rip out 2-3 flower petals, maybe the length will be better.

從沒向格友要過織圖的我, 看到這條別緻的圍巾時, 也忍不住了. 感謝紅豆提供的織圖, 讓我可以完成這件作品. 圖樣其實很簡單, 很快就可以記起來. 本來織到120cm時(31朵花)就停了, 沒想到定型後變成138cm, 有點太長了. 昨天就圍出去啦, 覺得有點越拉越長. 再看看吧, 說不定拆掉2-3朵花會比較剛好.

Wool Bam Boo is very soft, and comfortable around the neck. And it comes in many beautiful colors. But I think it is a bit too thin for this scarf, and maybe a bit too soft. The petals look crushed and flattened. I am thinking to make another one with a chunkier yarn, maybe a bit more wool or merino, with a gauge about 20 sts = 4". This scarf does not need much yarn, I used about 1.5 balls of Wool Bam Boo which is 118 yards per ball (and my scarf is a bit too long.) I think this could be an one-skein project (if I use a more substantial yarn and make it shorter). It's a great way to use up odd balls in your stash.

這線很柔軟, 圍在脖子上很舒服, 其他還有別的顏色也都不錯看. 不過我覺得用來織這條圍巾可能有點太細了, 線可能也太軟, 花辦看起來垮垮的. 我想用較粗一點的線再織一條, 密度約20針目=10cm的線應該會比較剛好. 這條圍巾其實用線不多, 我用了約1.5球, 而且Wool Bam Boo一球線量不多, 才118 yards而已. 是用來消耗囤積毛線的好project.
