I have had some feedback that my Gingham Scarf Pattern was a bit confusing in places, so I’ve written this extra tutorial to try and help. The technique uses two strands crocheted together. Every time you get to the next colour square along one of the threads is changed. In my pattern I differentiated between…
I’ve made a few of these multi-yarn cowls recently so wanted to go for something a bit different. I made this as a Christmas gift for my brother (who writes awesome music, check it out on youtube here). I like the texture of the post stitches and the colour combination.
