My local CGOA Chapter (Those Yarn Crocheters in Harrisburg, PA) will be donating the scarves made by our group to the Pennsylvania Breast Cancer Coalition and a local shelter.
Though I don't think I can make 60 scarves in 60 days, I did commit to making 6 scarves. I'll be making 3 pink scarves to be donated to the Pennsylvania Breast Cancer Coalition and 3 scarves of another color. I got started on two of my pink scarves today.
I am using Bernat's Wool Blend Natural Blends yarn for both of these scarves. It is a 75% acrylic/25% wool blend. The color is Pink Icing. This yarn is so soft and squishy, and I believe will be very warm.
As you can see, my first scarf worked up very quickly! The pattern above is a simple shell pattern that creates a nice scalloped edge along the long sides as you go. I can't wait to try a variegated yarn with this pattern.The scarf below uses an easy block and fan trellis stitch taken from a sampler afghan square pattern that I altered to be narrow.
I am hoping to get my 6 pledged scarves completed quickly because I have a lot going on this fall crochet-wise, including a Mystery Crochet Along hosted by Bernat yarn. I've never participated in a CAL, so I'm looking forward to this project, and the fact that the end result is a mystery makes it all the more fun!
