I bought some very nice merino wool last year December with the intention to crochet a scarf for the last few months of the winter. Of course I completely overestimated my skill and dedication, but at least it's ready for this winter :)
This is my first large-ish project and as you can see, it really shows. It's made from top to bottom(in the picture) and I had a lot of occasional increases to compensate for missing a stitch several rows earlier.
It was a good experience though, performing the same routine over and over again helped with developing my muscle memory. I feel like I now have a much better control over the tension and can produce a more consistent result.
The scarf consists of a moss stitch and was made with a 5.5 mm hook. Oh, and it's really nice and warm :)
Beautiful! I love the moss stitch, it's very easy to get into a groove with and has a really nice texture as a result.
If you're worried about the increase/decrease being noticeable, I'd recommend a border! The more elaborate, the more it'll disguise any defect (so limited results from a single stitch border and better results with scalloped for instance). But also don't forget, you always have to have at least one error in your work or else you'll trap your soul in it ๐
Thank you!
I still have some wool left, so I might look into making a border, I hadn't thought of that. It would make for a nice finish, regardless of the amount of errors that might still shine through :)
