Yarn
I love the blues. They always remind me of the ocean and the calming sounds of the ocean waves. I can just sit there and watch them all day long. Living at the beach helps me enjoy the ocean even more.
For this scarf, I used Yarn Bee Soft & Sleek DK 100% Low Anti-pilling Acrylic yarn in Aquamarine. I always try to look for the yarn with the same name as the birthstone and so far I have been fortunate.
As I was looking for this color, I googled and found some in our local Hobby Lobby store. There were about 3 different yarns in Aquamarine but I decided on the Yarn Bee. This yarn won me over the others because of its softness, it was a DK yarn and it has a mixture of different blues. I wanted something I could use in the spring, summer, and fall.
Pattern
Before I decided on the pattern, I knew I wanted a lace pattern. I wanted to make something I could use in the spring, summer, and fall. I chose a pattern with chains and shells as this gives the scarf the fabric that is suitable for the cool and hot weather. The scarf turned out exactly as I had envisioned. It is soft, light, airy, and flows just as I wanted.
Comparable yarns to Yarn Bee Soft & Sleek DK include Mary Maxim Artist Pallette, Lion Brand Ice Cream and Mandala, Bernat Baby Sport and Baby Sport Sparkle, Hobbi Amigo, Deramores Studio Baby Soft DK, and PaintBox Yarns Baby DK.
