The Daydreamer Scarf is soft and luxurious featuring a beautiful, seamless colour change throughout.
Not too long ago I picked up some of the Perfect Phasing Cloud Cakes by Yarnspirations at my local Michael’s store. I was attracted initially to their gradual colour change from dark to light and then by their softness!
Because the yarn is so soft, it does feel a little slippery to work with at first, but after a few rows I fell into an easy rhythm.
And the results were so worth it!
The Daydreamer Scarf Crochet Pattern is worked along the short ends so that there are now long foundation chains.
To begin the scarf, you will start by cutting off approximately 15-20 yards that you will use once the scarf is complete to work the fringe along the starting end. This will ensure that your fringe along the starting edge continues with the seamless colour.
Alternatively, if you have an extra yarn cake on hand, you may use some of the starting colour from the other cake.
The stitch pattern used is sometimes called the “Sedge Stitch.” It features an easy pattern of single, half double and double crochet stitches.
