Wendover Scarf

Pattern available on Ravelry and Etsy.

---

Originally designed for the Bridgerton mystery boxes by Leann of Forbidden Fiber Co, I had so much fun with this piece! I imagined myself walking through a really exquisite garden, surrounded by opulent and delicately fragrant blooms, noticing color and texture and every tiny detail. I tried to capture some of that inspiration in this stitch sampler style design in a way that would be interesting for experienced crocheters but also approachable for the adventurous beginner!

My goal was to encourage delight in the simplicity and wonder of familiar stitches coming together in new and intriguing ways in a sort of exploration and journey through the colors and rows of the scarf. The second half actually mirrors the first, so you get to revisit some of the same stitches with new colors!

The pattern itself includes a color coded symbol chart plus detailed instructions for all special stitches, including post stitches, modified puff stitches, and working into the 3rd loop of hdc stitches, as well as optional foundation and chainless stitches. There is also a link to an extensive informal video tutorial that walks you through each row of the pattern!

Let's have a look at some of the details, shall we?
