Today I’m going to share something less dog related, except for the fact that I made it for a dog lover: myself 🤭 As colder months are approaching, I decided to whip out my Tunisian crochet hook and finally make me a scarf that I always wanted.

I had this idea sitting in the back of my mind since last winter. Last year I have made a similar super cozy scarf for my husband but for some reason I didn’t have the time to make me one. So to take off my mind off some stressful things happening in my life now, I decided to finally use yarn that I had sitting in my stash for couple years now.

I decided to make my new scarf using Tunisian crochet, because it works up a warm, cozy fabric that I want. I don’t have a tutorial for how to do it but if you look up “Tunisian crochet simple stitch”, this is exactly the technique that I used to create this accessory.

Yarn that I used is Hobbii Manaya in color 03. I had 3 skeins of it sitting in my stash. I bought it for a different project but 1 skein was enough to finish my entire scarf. I picked it not only for a lovely colorway, but also because it contains 65% Superwash wool and 35% acrylic. I’m trying to use more natural fibers in my works but before I completely switch to wool and cotton, I want to finish yarn that is currently sitting in my stash.

It’s not as soft as 100% acrylic yarn would be but I don’t mind it being a little bit “sharp”, if you know what I mean. It does “bite” like some wool would.

As the colder months approach, are you going to make your own scarf this year? If yes, what technique are you going to use? Let me know and share some inspiration!
