My latest project is a step outside my comfort zone … it has been a while since I crocheted and it is long overdue.
The yarn is Lana Grossa Shades of Cotton, in the 101 colourway. It works up as double knit weight, but is made up of 4 fine strands to create a subtle colour change which somehow transitions from turquoise to orange over the course of the 200g skein. Clever!
I am crocheting a scarf from the accompanying German pattern booklet – it is design number 7, Schmaler Schal im Wellenmuster, which showcases the yarn beautifully.
It may take a while, as each row is very long and needs attention, but I’ll get there!
Happy crocheting!

I’m trying to get the hang of the different crochet stitches myself. This looks really pretty. Looking forward to seeing the finished scarf 🧣

I love those colours, and the chevron pattern will really make them sing (I’m a bit of chevron addict …)

Looks beautiful! Wishing you contented crocheting. I would love to make it myself, and I do have one ball of the Shades of Cotton, but the flyer does not seem to be available for purchase in the U.S.! 😦

Thank you ☺️ The yarn is lovely, isn’t it? The stitch is relatively simple and you may not need a pattern to create a similar look. Perhaps you could use a wave or ripple pattern such as this one by Attic 24 http://attic24.typepad.com/weblog/neat-ripple-pattern.html Happy crocheting!

Ooh, isn’t that pretty?! I keep eyeing this kind of ball that is now available all over the place, petting it and then putting it back, thinking I wouldn’t knit it anyway. But crochet… hm. Though I should finish the big one I started first, ends and edging to do!! And chevrons…. ooh, ideas ideas…. 🙂
