Alpaca

I have some beautiful Tasmanian Alpaca Yarn in stock, and have wanted to make something from it since it arrived.  its SO soft and snuggly!  I found a free crochet scarf pattern over at the A Spoonful of Sugar Girls blog, and decided this was the perfect project!  I set to work early this week.  I found that the hook size was a little too small and it was a little too wide for what I wanted, so undone my work and re-done it with a 5.5mm hook, and adjusting the pattern to suit.

 
Here it is, narrower and looser....
 
 
I made mine into a cowl, and I am pretty happy with it.
 
 
I usually do my own things when it comes to crochet patterns, only because I am only a basic crocherer (I don't think that is a word), and have to get on YouTube to refresh my mind, every. single. time!  This one is seriously SO easy, and SO quick!  I think I might make another!

I sure can relate to that! The only stitch I can ever remember is the double crochet. All the others require a refresher course, every time, just like you!! Sweet cowl, looks soft and warm.
