I had half a skein of Hot Green Sugar and Cream cotton yarn and couldn’t decide what to do but it SCREAMS, “Make leaves!” Every time I see it. I have 2 wash cloths made with it and now a leafy scarf. The scarf uses about 1 and half skeins of yarn.
1- Repeat this MyPicot Leaf motif pattern continuously for 6 feet.
2 - weave in all your ends so far.
3 - with the right side facing you, join yarn at right corner stitch and single crochet in all stitches on that side, to the end
4 - chain 1 and turn
5 - single crochet in all stitches to the end
6 - repeat step 4
7 - repeat step 5 (you should have 3 rows of single crochet)
8 - pull yarn through to end row and weave in
9 - turn and repeat steps 3-8 on the other edge.
I highly encourage it! You can make really complex textures and fabrics with just a couple of stitches.
technically, I can knit but am SUPER slow but this only took me a couple of days in between watching anime and chatting with my husband in the evenings.
