Bricks & Lattice Scarf

I wanted to make something for my mom's nurses for Christmas, so I decided on hat and scarf sets.

  

I love the colours of Red Heart Boutique Unforgettable yarn, so each set is done is a different colour. For this set, I chose Tidal.  The hat and scarf together used up 2 skeins of yarn. I didn't notice until after I finished that although the skeins were the same dye lot, they were still a tiny bit different. The one skein had no pink in it, so there is just a tiny strip of pink colour on one end of the scarf. It's ok, and it doesn't look 'off' since the rest of the colours are pretty much the same.  The picture below really makes it look different, but it really isn't!

The hats are all the same pattern, but each of the scarves are different.  This scarf is the Bricks & Lattice pattern by Elizabeth Ham. 

The pattern is an easy repeat but it took longer to work up than I thought it would, longer than the other scarves, that's for sure. I think the slowness was because of the end/beginning of the rows. 

Colour gradients. I love the look of the colours and blue actually suits me as a colour to wear, but sadly, blue is my least favourite colour.  Even with the greens, gold, and purples, the blue is the most dominant colour.

Stitch pattern before wet blocking.



This image is a lot darker, it's just to show the stitch pattern while it was being blocked. The other images are a lot closer to true.



Yarn: Cost

Skein: 3.5 oz / $7.00 (approx) X 2 skiens = 7 oz / $14.00 = $2.00 an ounce
Scarf =  4.4 oz X $2.00 = $8.80 + tax, so...lets say $10.00 in materials for the scarf.

Size:
8" X 46" before blocking
9" X 58" after blocking

That's not to shabby.
