Children's scarf made out of Turkish yarn weaved on carboard and decorated with crochet band and ribbon flowers.

 

Today I made a quick children's scarf while watching a history documentary on Netflix and keeping an eye on the food I was cooking in my stove. 

Tools:

1. Plastic needle suitable for children.

2. Measuring tape.

3. Pencil to mark points to join primitive loom threads.

Materials:

1. Yarn of you choice.

2. Cardboard , from a parcel, removal box or any source of your choice.

2. Strong yarn for loom lines along cardboard.

3. Crochet band .

4. Ribbon for the ribbon flowers and intersected ribbon along crochet band.

5. Love and patience.

Yarn is not just a material is also a source of delight or frustration so often crafters like me stick to a brand or source for years. Turkish yarn has proven year after year to exceed expectations and be long lasting for all sorts of projects, scarves, embroidery, blankets, throws etc.

Allisson is without any doubt my favourite brand because within all plies is always strong, stern and durable.

I particularly enjoy making scarves like these two below because they are unique, look rather strange and I can easily make use of extended stitches .

For more enjoyment obtained with scarves, nothing beats seeing the end result of this Christmas present below and how much joy will bring to the recipient's live! I created the design inspired by Christmas tales pictured in my mind: lots of snow , children happily playing with snowmen but also eager to see flowers blossom in spring. Have you noticed how ribbon flowers are more in demand during fall and winter? Voila, all to do with the snow and longing for flowers to blossom!

How are you doing so far preparing for Christmas and are you like me, someone who does not like shopping but rather creating?
