Less than one skein of yarn
Knitting needle the size of a baseball bat (That may be a slight exaggeration, but it is certainly around thumb-size-ish... very specific here. Oh wait! --double check... It seems to be around the same or slightly larger than Size 19 needles.)
Size H Susan Bates hook for all the sc parts
Size H Boye hook (I found this to be easier when hooking the yarn over the needle because it catches the yarn less than the Susan Bates hooks, which is, interestingly enough, one of my favorite qualities of Susan Bates hooks.)
For the fringe, I chained 15 then slip stitched into the next stitch. I like the look of it on this one. It seems to work well with the lace part.
Tamara said that she has done a vest or sweater with a Broomstick Lace pattern. That sounds just a bit too intimidating to me as of yet! Have any of you tried it? What did you think? Likes? Dislikes? I'm curious.
Your scarf is awesome..love the color..love the stitches..I really like this one!
ReplyDeleteThe Broomstick Lace is so pretty - I've printed patterns but am not yet brave enough to try it out myself....maybe after the holidays when I have more time to play that rapidly produce gifts!
ReplyDeleteLove this, super cute !
ReplyDeleteI love the look of it, have wanted to try it, but am VERY intimidated by it. Was it easy?
ReplyDeleteThank you everyone! I wore it yesterday and received lots of compliments!
ReplyDeleteIt was a fun stitch to learn. I'm not sure how often I'll crochet that way, but it's a nice one to do for a special gift or something.
Mindy,
ReplyDeleteI love your scarf and I also finished my broomstick scarf that I started about a year ago. Thank you for sharing all the details.
Hugs,
Tamara

That's beautiful, Mindy! I'm guessing that since it has so many 'holes', that it's very soft and flexible, not stiff like some scarves. Love it!
ReplyDeleteIt's very pretty...I've wanted to learn this stitch.
ReplyDeleteThe scarf is beautiful, I expecially love the yarn you used
