Mohair Scarf

 

Hello!  We are enjoying a great holiday at the moment and I decided to post a picture story for you today in order to showcase The Mohair Scarf.  For more details about the pattern and yarn, see my posting Something a little different.  Below are typically the items I would choose from my own wardrobe in order to create an interesting outfit.Cheers!

Something a little different!

Hello! I won a few skeins of this soft, misty, almost magical brushed mohair in the October Monthly Challenge hosted by the gregarious Maryanne from Woolhogs fame and WOW! At first I was speechless - what is a cotton lover to do with mohair yarns?!  It is so delicate and raw simultaneously that I was completely in awe. 

Inspiration struck after I touched the strands, played with the yarn between my fingers and put mood boards together. I started dreaming up endless ideas, possibilities and patterns so utterly suitable to the raw look of the yarn, but finally settled on a mesh pattern.   

Mood-boards put together from my Raw Rustic Pinterest

 

Yarn: African Expressions Love Brushed Mohair

Hook Size: 7mm

Pattern: liveinternet.ru nr 10 as found on Pinterest

Hint:

In order to prevent total chaos, I imported the pattern into the Doceri app on the Ipad and colour coded the rows as seen in the below image.
