Hello! Hello! And good Monday morning to you:). My good friend is going on a cruise to Alaska next week. I want to give her a little treat to wish her a happy trip. Do you remember the scarf I won from Tina @Kristabella’s Hodgepodge a few weeks back? You can read about it here.
I love mine so much that I thought my friend would like one too❤️. I looked through my yarn stash and found a soft Baby Bee yarn skein in the color “Grape Jelly”. SWEET!
I only needed the one skein to make this beautiful version of my Oh So Lucky Scarf. I made a 7 square Granny scarf that was the perfect length:)
Each of the squares needed 8 rounds to make an approximate 8″ square. Because Baby thread is so small, I had to use a small needle as well. My bamboo needles don’t have sizes on them. I would guess mine was about an E needle.
Granny squares are so fast and easy to make. It didn’t take me long to stitch up a cute scarf. I enjoyed watching “Anne with an E” as I stitched away:). What a fun afternoon!
I rolled it up into a pretty “grape jelly” roll. And added a blue bow.
Isn’t it cute? I ran it over to my friend before she left. She LOVED it! (I knew she would). 😊
I have put together a pattern with the fun picot edging if you are interested in making a cute scarf for yourself or someone you love.
Here it is–

That scarf is the colour of luscious autumn fruit, and should keep her nice and snug in the cold air. Sweet gift!

I agree with the purple hues of autumn! It’s probably about to turn to spring over down under:)
