| Valerie Baber Designs

Pattern available on my Etsy store:  www.valeriebaberdesigns.etsy.com See my Etsy store for more information such as yarn needed or to purchase.

Night Garden Floral Scarf crochet pattern has a beautiful floral design on a scarf base that can be worn long or as a neck warmer for different looks. Take a stroll along the garden, under the moon and stars in the Night Garden scarf. A beautiful evening spent enjoying the flowers and foliage found along the path. Embellished with flowers and leaves in beautiful dark tones of purple to blue, the Night Garden Scarf is reminiscent of an enchanted evening. This design can be made as shown in various colours using mini skeins or yarn from your stash. Made with a sock weight/fingerling weight yarn. Pattern is written using US crochet terminology.

The Night Garden scarf was designed for Sweetgeorgia Yarns in the fall of 2019 for their Crochet Fall with Sweetgeorgia Yarns, Vol. 2. It was a pleasure of mine to design this scarf with their beautiful yarns including the Party of Five mini skeins shown here. Thank you Sweetgeorgia Yarns for including me in such a wonderful collection of exquisite crochet patterns. Check out the other beautiful designs on the link highlighted in orange above. You can purchase the pattern and the yarn on their website.

PATTERN NOTES
The Night Garden Scarf base is worked in flat in the full skein colour with the flowers and leaves worked in the mini skeins or extra sock weight yarn. The trim around the edge is worked once the base of the scarf is finished. Follow the various charts and written pattern for the scarf base, leaves and flowers.

YARN
The night garden scarf can be done in various colours as shown in the photos or a solid colour as well. This design would be lovely in a beautiful neutral or a hand painted colour for a more subtle essence. You can use most sock weight yarns and yarn from your stash for the colours or make it in a solid colour too. The Party of Five mini skeins are perfect for this design and available at Sweetgeorgia Yarns.

| Valerie Baber Designs

Pattern available on my Etsy store:  www.valeriebaberdesigns.etsy.com See my Etsy store for more information such as yarn needed or to purchase.

Horizons Scarf crochet pattern has a beautiful seashore essence. My favourite place to be is on the beach by Stanley Park in Vancouver, BC, Canada. Moments by the waters edge calm and rejuvenate your mind and soul. Designed for SweetGeorgia Yarns as one of their monthly patterns which is very fitting since they to are in Vancouver and my favourite stop while I am visiting. I love spending time in their store side of the business see the newest colours and fibres available. What an uplifting time to be surrounded by so much colour and yarn! My creative mind is in bliss when I am there surrounded by creative people and stunning and exquisite yarns. Make sure you pop into SweetGeorgia Yarns when you are in Vancouver.

The Horizons Scarf features an elegant lace design giving the essence of calmness, the feeling of standing by the edge of a beach watching as the sand colour fades from light to dark. The blue deepens as you look further out into the sea, the beautiful white waves cresting in between. Each of the colour changes bringing you back to the peaceful moments by the Seashore. The gray toned scarf shows the versatility of this design and how you can personalize the colours it to your wardrobe. Pattern is written using US crochet terminology.

Gradient Blankets to keep you warm and cozy

| Valerie Baber Designs

Finally finished the gradient Chevron blankets I started months ago. I made each one in 3 panels then crocheted them together with a contrasting colour. This made it easier and lighter to make especially if you have arthritis or other issues with your hands or arms. The top and bottom panels are the same with the center one a bit different to add interest and make each one unique.

I made my first chevron blanket last year and enjoyed the simplicity and easy to make pattern. The perfect project to make while curled up on the couch watching your favourite movie.

The yarn I used was Tough Love Sock yarn by SweetGeorgia Yarns. I chose 4 colours for each and it took 5 plus some skeins to make a nice lap size blanket. I loved working a gradient effect. I want to make a Christmas theme blanket next. Off this to check out some patterns to try. Sometimes I like to take a break from designing and enjoy making something with someone else’s beautiful pattern.
