But I had some time this week, so I decided to finally finish it so it&#8217;ll be ready for the cold weather. And here it is, ready to wear:<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/blog\/images\/scarflet1.jpg\" alt=\"tunisian scarflet\" \/><\/p>\n<p>I used Bernat Bamboo yarn in <em>Dill<\/em>. It&#8217;s a wonderfully soft yarn, with none of the itch factor that I normally get from yarn against my neck. These photographs really don&#8217;t do it justice: the lovely subtle green shade just refuses to photograph properly.<\/p>\n<p>I decided to carry on the &#8216;natural&#8217; theme from the bamboo yarn (it really is made from 89% bamboo!) and I found these sweet little wooden buttons with a woodburned flower design to finish it off:<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/blog\/images\/scarflet2.jpg\" alt=\"tunisian scarflet button detail\" \/><\/p>\n<p>A scarflet is such a clever little design; here&#8217;s a little picture of me to give you an idea of how it works:<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/blog\/images\/scarflet3.jpg\" alt=\"tunisian scarflet in use\" \/><\/p>\n<p>I enjoyed the tunisian crochet, although I think I should have started with a simpler stitch for my first attempt. With hindsight, I see that the Bamboo yarn doesn&#8217;t have good stitch definition, so I could have made the scarflet with a basic tunisian stitch and got the same effect in much less time. <\/p>\n<p>But overall, I love the scarflet. Almost enough to make me look forward to winter (okay, not <em>quite<\/em> that much)! I can&#8217;t wait to wear it; the yarn is dreamily soft, and the tunisian crochet makes it thick and warm whilst avoiding the bulk of having a scarf wrapped around and around my neck.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Way back in February I posted some crochet WIPs.
