I recently finished this Woodland scarf. I had gotten the pattern off the Internet a few years ago. I had made this once before but there isn't a picture on the pattern I saved. Hmmm, thought it did. Anyway, the pattern I have does contain a source that the pattern came from and it is Columbia Minerva Learn to Crochet book, 1976. You start out by making a square and then crochet a "ripple" down 2 of the corners. You can see what I mean from the pictures. I really like this pattern except that the edges tend to curl a tad bit but I did a bit of smoothing with my fingers and it seems to work. This is a completed Christmas present.

Pretty scarf and it sounds like a neat pattern. Hope you are having a great Monday! :-)
ReplyDeleteoh pretty banner, love the nostalgia...pretty scarf, I'm not to good at ripples for some reason..I just learned how to granny ripple over the summer, once you get past the first 2 rows it is an easy pattern. Thanks for stopping at my place. The muff....and matching headband..wern't we stlish.? I wish I could be sure they were cherries..maybe they were roses...they were red, such a special time wasn't it.
ReplyDeleteThanks!!!
ReplyDeleteThis scarf is very pretty. I may try to decipher how to do it after the holidays...so much on the hook now. I like the look.
ReplyDeleteI probably wouldnt do well with this since ripples is involved I just cant do that or I do something wrong, I tried a ripple dishcloth awhile back and I gave up LOL thanks for sharing though yours looks great and I think it is neat it starts with a square.
ReplyDeleteI would love this pattern, is there anyway you can print it? I have looked all over the web & can't find one like it. Thank you
ReplyDeleteCheri, I got this pattern off the Internet a long time ago. I can't find it online either. I'm posting it here for you and if someone objects to that I'd remove it. I only used 2 colors so I didn't follow the pattern exactly. Here it is:
