Life's a Batik Scarf

A little colour, a little texture and a whole lot of fun!

Life's a Batik is a stash-busting scarf featuring my own Cross Stitch pattern, a stitch combination that creates an interesting textured design with plenty of opportunity to play with colour.

Worked in Stylecraft Batik DK, this scarf is a lovely way to use up those leftover balls and oddments hiding in

your yarn stash. The colours used in my sample are Heather, Indigo, Teal and Raspberry, but you can have fun choosing your own combination.

The pattern will be available as a free-to-read crochet pattern on the blog, so everyone can enjoy making their own Life's a Batik Scarf.

For Auburncraft members, a free PDF download will also be available in the Members Area. Membership is Free. Sign up on the Home/Landing page.

I've also included a YouTube tutorial to help with the Cross Stitch stitch combination, making it easier to follow along as you work.
