Here is another yarn I had a hard time finding the right pattern for. It is a 70% superwash wool, 30% nylon blend called Chroma from Knitpicks.com. I bought this yarn in 2011 when I was a new knitter and I fell in love with the colorway called Midwinter. It's a blend of dark blue, gray and purple. I have two skeins of fingering weight. It also comes in a worsted weight and I made my crocheted earwarmer with two skeins of worsted weight in this colorway.
So I settled on the feather and fan pattern to make a scarf and I tried to knit it but I get frustrated knitting so I switched to a crochet pattern. There are lots of feather and fan patterns available for free on the Internet. The free crochet pattern I am using is available on Ravelry (membership is free) or you can go to you tube and find a how to video here.
I'm using a size I (5.5 mm) crochet hook, which is a larger hook than what is recommended for this yarn, because I want a lacy look and the larger hook is working.
Here is a picture of what I have done so far.
I'm planning to use both skeins of yarn on this scarf and I'm about half way through the first skein.
