Thank you! and Instructions.
May 11, 2011Thank you, thank you for all your kind comments about my flower scarves. They are fun to make and pretty at the end. Pricing them is a difficult thing to do – I want them to sell at the conference in July for the Sun Shine school, but I don’t want them to be too much and bring them home again!! Hey Ho!
Several have asked me for my pattern, so here it is! Just the quick version. I’ll put a version with photos on my Let’s Get Busy page when I have taken the photos!
I have used a 3mm or a 3.50mm hook and Double Knitting wool.
Chain 4 and slip stitch into a ring.
3 chain (equals the first treble) 11 trebles into the ring. Slip stitch to the third of the the 3 chain to join up.
Change colour. Working from a space between two trebles, 4 chain (equals 3 chain for the first treble and 1 chain for the space), *1 treble into the space between the trebles on the row below, 1 chain.* Repeat from * to * 10 times more. You should have 12 trebles.
Slip stitch into the next space. *6 chain. 1 double crochet into the next space. 1 chain. 1 double crochet into the next space.* Repeat from * to * 5 more times. You should end up with 6 large loops and 6 small loops.
*Working into the first of the large loops, 5 trebles, 3 chain, 5 trebles. 1 double crochet into the small loop.* Repeat from * to* to make the six petals of the flower. Pull through the end and weave ends in to underside of flower.
To join the flowers together I make 5 trebles as normal for the petal, 1 chain at the top of the petal, insert hook through the loop of the joining flower and make a chain around the loop, 1 chain as normal and them make the 5 trebles down the other side of the petal.
I hope this answers your queries and gives you lots of pleasure. Happy hooking!!

Thank you for the instructions – I really love these scarves and would like to . I can’t help with the pricing question. I was talking to someone about something similar this morning because I have made things to sell for charity this weekend. I think it probably is better to price so that they are sold but from past experience I find it very upsetting when the price that is paid only just covers the price of the materials or may even be less. People seem to expect a bargain because something is home made when really it is worth so much more because it is unique.
Thank you, Alison; it will be fun to work something you have designed. It’s such a pretty design — I may try it with three strands of crochet thread for a summer scarf; I have done other things this way, but never flowers.
Dear Alison, If you are willing ….. I will pay whatever price you say …. for the one with the dark blue flowers. I am more than happy to make it a good price ….. after all it is for the Sunshine school and I would be so delighted.
Let me know what you think …… you could email or leave a comment on my blog. It would be cherished :0)
with love to you,

Hi Alison
Thank you so much! I’m going to have a go when I’m on holiday. I’ll let you know how it goes…
Take care,

The pricing is always difficult. Good luck with it, and with your sales.
