Crochet - Sweet Eleanor Scarf

The Sweet Eleanor Scarf is a reasonably simple crochet scarf which can be made in a variety of weights of yarn. I chose to use Noro Silk Garden Sock, as I had a second skein to hand if I needed to make it bigger.

The pattern is pretty well written, and it's easy enough to work without the pattern once you get going.

Yarn: Noro Silk Garden Sock
Hook: 5.5mm (US size I)



Verdict: I like it. It's a bit of a crazy shape, you have to be careful or it looks like a ruff! but it drapes nicely (using that big hook was important for that) and post-bath the Noro has softened up a great deal.

I originally cast on with a 4.5mm hook, but the fabric was like steel! It wouldn't have been wearable. I also made two extra repeats of the pattern which made it longer. I have about 5g of the first ball of Noro left (I used the other ball for a mini-shrug) and it's plenty big enough as a scarf. I'm not sure it would translate that well into a shawl because of the odd shape, I think it would become unwieldy.

All in all, it's a nice pattern!
