I used a color blending technique to get the painterly effect. My yarn was doubled and my hook was a P/11.5mm. The extended crochet stitch was used to make big stand-out leaves. This is a good scrap busting pattern that is easily memorized. It’s quick,too!The pattern tells you when to cut and attach new yarn but this scarf can be made using the yarns you have on hand and in your own favorite color combination.
