my beauty

Now she’s mine… or, should I say, now, she’s hers, as once again my dear daughter laid her hand on something I started for myself, and made it hers…
I just finished my version of Boteh Scarf by Kathy Merrick.

I only did 4 repeats of the pattern as it’s for a child, should I do this pattern again, I might try it with thread and a less tall stitch, and maybe a more frivolous edging than a single row of single crochet.

It is a really beautiful design and a very quick project, considering the fact that, not having bought the pattern, I wrote it down from the pictures I collected from crochet blogs and still, it took me 3 days only. My daughter likes it very much, so she gets to wear it and I get to take nice pictures :photo:

STATS :

Pattern : ma beauté, my design, directly inspired by and reconstructed from the Boteh Scarf by Kathy Merrick. I call it this way because BOTEH (bow-tey) in French sounds exactly like “beauté", the French for BEAUTY, and I think it fits her perfectly.

Stitches : chain stitch, half-double crochet, single crochet, trebles.

Crochet hook : I made the foundation row with a US 8 hook and the scarf itself with a 7.

Yarn : The yarn is made of 3 red acrylic threads and 1 unravelled (so that it be thin as a thread) variagated ribbon yarn…

Time : less than 20h.
