Clarice’s Amethyst Scarf

Clarice’s Amethyst Scarf is my second scarf in “The Gemstone Crochet Scarf Collection” of 2022. This is a collection of a new crochet scarf every month based on the color of the birthstone for that month and any of my children and nieces born in that month. Clarice is my niece and as you might have guessed, she was born in February.

January’s Grace’s Garnet Scarf

Although I can’t say that purple is my favorite color, I will say that it is one of those colors that when I see it, I just want to pick it up. I like that there are so many shades of purple and you can always find a shade that you prefer.

As I was looking for purple yarn, I was hoping to get an Amethyst color. Searching the web, I was surprised to find out that our local Hobby Lobby Store had Amethyst Color in I Love This Yarn. I was so happy that all I had to do was drive there and pick it up. This gave me the opportunity to look around and see other shades of purple that I would have used but in the end, the Amethyst color won.

Yarn

I used I Love This Yarn 100% Acrylic in Amethyst. I can’t believe how soft this yarn is. The scarf came out better than I expected, feeling soft, warm, and cozy. I am happy that I made it wide so that I can cover myself when it gets chilly..

I decide to use a lace pattern since although the yarn is medium weight, it is on the thicker side. With the warmer weather coming, I wanted something that I can use this spring and even summer and not have to wait till winter to use it.

Comparable yarns to I Love This Yarn include Premier Yarns Anti-Pilling Everyday Worsted, Mary Maxim Starlette, Herrschners Worsted Weight, Yarn Bee Sugarwheel, and Deramores Studio Aran.
