Purple Rain Scarf

Almost didn't make it in time for June...I actually thought today was the first, and was all ready to post this as July, even though I finished last night!!

Just a little short of the 300 yards.....so I made a

headband. Both are made out of Taos # 19....on size 10 needles. I wanted to make a matching raindrop hat...but did not have enough.

Pattern is:

Shizuku 雫 for scarf &

Easy Cabled Headband....for the headband ( with liberties taken on both!)

you can see my project page for this: Purple Rain

NOTE: THIS THING STRETCHES WHEN BLOCKED...what started out as a 62" shawlette became an 84" scarf. My daughter Sarah will love it, though.

My Mods: Made it a boat shaped shawlette -- Increased for 17 drops ( 8 rows per pattern)…stayed the same for 28 drops, then decreased for 17 drops. Pattern as written is triangular. I ended up with 62 raindrops.

Purple Rain ended up weighing 110gr -- 282 yds ( About 2.2 skeins) and headband added another 32 -- total of 314

**I did so want to make a hat with the left over yarn...just so I could call it Purple Rainhat! ......*I might have enough for a baby hat with little raindrop tassles, though....hmmmmm.... will post as an addendum if I do!!

This color of this wonderfully soft yarn reminds me of boysenberry pie. Yummy. Really yummy.
