....The wood Nymph scarf tutorial.....

.....hello dear friends.....

....Hope you are all well....

.....So i have put together a tutorial for my 'wood Nymph' scarf, now i have never ever ever done this before so if it doesn't make any sense then do let me know as i will do my best to rectify any weird bits where i can....


.....So the first thing is Yarn....you want chunky chunky yarn for this and a size 8 crochet hook, or even i suppose a size 10 hook if you want it a bit more loose, its one of those kinda patterns that you almost need to adjust to your own preferences.....

....If chunky chunky is out of the question then i would think if you double up an Aran weight yarn so you have two threads together to crochet with, or EVEN three threads of good ol' double knit would probably work just as well.....


* Tip *  Keep your tension looseish, if its too tight then it will all curl up.
             As you make the waves it will probably twist and turn as you go along, don't worry as when you come to crochet the border you can unravel the twist as you go....

....Ok here goes....


.....First, chain 10 and make into a ring.....

chain 3 ( this is your first treble ) then 10 more into ring, ( keep your tension fairly loose ),( 11 trebles ), now you want to push them all together, like this.....

Turn work, your now coming back the other way,  chain 5 (this a treble plus a 2 chain space ), miss the first space and treble into the next treble space....like this....

....chain 2, miss next space, and treble into the next....like this....

....continue all the way along missing one and trebling in one to the end , you should now have 6 trebles.....

OK...the next bit....

.....Chain 11 and insert hook into the eighth chain......like this.....and secure....so now you have a new ring started....

.....chain 3.....( again this is your first treble of the next wave ).....and then chain another 10 into ring....

.....Now basically you just keep on crocheting along until you have 12 waves made, or more if you want, it depends how long you want the scarf to be.....

....Ok so now you have your waves all made  ( just pretend that i have 12 here, i just made three to show you how its done )....

....no at the end chain 2, this is your turning chain and double crochet  ( or half treble ),all the way along the top of the waves.....now when you get to weird bits, you will have to improvise a little.....there is a weird bit here for instance so i am just going to make it work.....like this.....

 

 

....i know this is a bit difficult to see, but crochet is very forgiving and in a scarf like this you can improvise and make it work.....a little bit of artistic licence never hurt anyone.....

....and you can see here that it works just fine.....

.....When you have reached the end of line, turn your scarf, chain 2 and then come all the way back the other way in double ( or htr ), and then turn once more at the other end and repeat then tie of......and hopefully your 'Wood Nymph' scarf is all made......TAH DAAAH......

 

.....Happy hooking dearys, and do let me know your thoughts on this tutorial, and of course i want to see your 'Wood Nymphs' when they are finished.....
