My theme scarf

This is my theme scarf. Made in a crochet waves pattern I combined from several patterns, after having some tries done.


It all started when I've searched for a beautiful scarf pattern for my scarf lover friend, Zohar's birthday. I looked for the perfect scarf for her and I found it. It was this knitting waves scarf on moonstitches blog. I didn't have the book for the pattern, didn't have the yarn for the lovely colors and didn't have the energy for knitting. So I set for a few days and tried to find alternative crochet wave patterns, and bought 10 kinds of changing colors yarn.


As you can understand, my main problem is not my slow knitting – it is the decisions I need to make, and my being satisfied from the pattern. Of course I didn't make it on time, so eventually I made her a scarf with a totally different pattern, but at list I got it done on time (and Zohar was the happiest girl on earth…for a day).



Now, I was left with tones of changing-color yarn, and the motivation for waves. A week later I decided on the following pattern (sorry, for the crooked diagram I sketched...).


I saved this one for my self, and I have to say it has been the most fun pattern I ever crocheted.
