My mother’s first scarf

Last month, i engaged my dear mother with some crocheting tasks, to make a scarf for my dear friend. My mom was my first crochet teacher, now its my turn to reteach her the things i learned from her. It was easy and fun and endearing. Sometimes my mom would go all the way from Bulacan to SM North just for us to meet and show me her current progress.

Finally, last sunday, my mother surprised me with the finished scarf. I like how she manage to make even stitches. I am so tempted not to give it to the recipient, but my mom is just too happy to do that for him, that i have to put up extra measures just to make sure that my friend gets the scarf before he leaves for China, the following day.

Oh well. he loved the yarns and would like to let my mom knows that he is grateful for the scarf that he sent me a picture of him wearing it. :) He’s keeping a low google profile, so let’s no longer name this guy.

The scarf is made from three colors of wool yarn (available at the store).

Btw, remember the first scarf i made? It’s still alive after all these years. He finally sent me a copy :) I m so happy that i saw my first scarf again.

What can a 100g wool yarn do?

I was amazed that the answer to the question is MUCH.

I was able to finish a scarf that measures approximately 70in x 12in using just a 100g of wool. The fabric was soft and light weight, it makes me think if i would want to finish the bolero i was working on because i have to finish it using the white acrylic yarn.

Here are some highlights:

This is a small version of the ribbed hexagonal beret (pattern available at the store) I just added a few more rows to allow insertion of an adjustable ribbon. Just in case this will not fit my niece’s head. :D
