Pattern Review



Hello All!

Today I will be reviewing a free pattern from Lion Brand Yarn. I am a HUGE fan of lion brand. They have many many free patterns and their yarn is great to work with. I especially like Vanna Choice.

The pattern I am reviewing today is called Granny Square Scarf (pretty original right?). It calls for 14 different colors of vanna's choice yarn. If you buy a new ball of yarn like I did, you will have enough yarn to make AT LEAST 3 scarves, maybe even four. If you don't want to buy all new yarn it would be a great pattern to use up scraps or left over yarn from other projects.

The scarf is made from 3 different motifs of granny squares. Each motif is very easy to crochet; most out of double crochet stitches.

I did find that the color combination to be a bit dull. There are a few colors that are used much more than others.

The finished project makes a very long scarf. It is a bit bulky and I think best used for outside wear.

I thought the picture they posted of the finished product was a little misleading because it doesn't look bulky. Over all it is a nice easy pattern that doesn't take a lot of time.

In my picture there are two scarves. The one of the left is the first one I made, following the color combination in the pattern. The scarf on the left is the second one I made using my own color combination.
