Woodland Scarf Finished



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, 1976You 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.

  2. oh 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.
