Refashion Co-op: criss-cross scarf

Thursday, March 07, 2013

a few years back i received this scarf as part of a swap. i really liked the color, the yarn and how it's crocheted, but i didn't love how it fit.

i was inspired by this criss-cross scarf from the book 101 designer yarn stash wonders which i'd wanted to knit, but wasn't able to figure out.

so i cut open my cowl scarf, shaped the ends...

made a couple of large button holes...

...and had myself a new scarf! you slip the end of it into those two holes to tighten it around your neck.

like this! well, it's not quite as cute as the one in the book, but at least now i'll actually wear it!

more pix and details on my blog!
