c. Linda Permann’s blooming
crocheted medallion scarf
What’s spring without flowers? Permann crocheted a slew of floral motifs in two different hues of Schaefer Yarns’ “Danya,” then assembled them in strips by chain stitching in a single shade of “Susan” around the outer edges of each bloom.

d. Tanis Gray’s clever cabled scarf
Texture is the name of the game here: Gray places the main staghorn cable on a purl background flanked by columns of fagoting that separate the body from the garter-stitch perimeter, itself edged with crocheted picots. It’s stitched in “Silk Blend Semi Solids” from Manos del Uruguay/Fairmount Fibers.


1. To begin the adjustable ring, wrap the yarn loosely around two fingers, the loose tail near your fingertips and the working yarn to the inside.	2. With the crochet hook, bring the working strand under the outside strand, then draw a loop through, as shown.

3. Draw through another loop to complete the single crochet. When all the stitches for the beginning of the flower have been worked into the ring, close the ring by pulling the loose tail.	1. For the crocheted picot border, work 2 rounds of single crochet all the way around the scarf. In the next round, * work 1 sc and chain 5 into the next stitch, as pictured above.

2. Insert the hook into the first chain of the chain-5 just worked, as shown. Draw the yarn through the chain and the loop on the hook to work a slip stitch. This will form the picot.	3. Skipping 1 stitch, work a single crochet in the next stitch. Repeat from the * in step 1 to continue the border around the scarf.
