This had been a horribly ugly yellow sweater vest that I got from The Salvation Army for $1-. I unraveled a good portion of it & made this simple scarf. I used a simple twirly scarf pattern. The only stitches you need to know to do this are single, double, & you need to know how to increase & decrease stitches - increasing & decreasing will create the twirl. Can be made with any gauge yarn to create a scarf of any length and width. Fully customizable & unique. :)

Mellow Yellow Upcycled Scarf (upcycled from ugly yellow cotton vest)

Cotton Shells Afghan I Made for My Niece
Cotton Shells Afghan I Made for my Niece
I like to crochet with cotton yarn (I used Lily's Sugar 'n Cream for this afghan). I know acrylic is supposed to be easier to clean but I prefer working with natural fibers.
The colors of her nursery are green & purple & were built around a monkey with purple & green & a floral headband. So I took my inspiration from her nursery.
I used a simple shell pattern, alternating green & purple, & improvised the border as I crocheted.
