Crocheted materials makes lovely and interesting stamps. In this pattern, I will show you how to create a flower design, glue it to a backing, and then stamp it with fabric ink to create lasting designs on an infinity scarf. You can use a plain scarf that you already own (as long as the fabric content works with the screen printing ink) or you can quickly sew one from fabric you have purchased. This pattern includes step by step directions as well as multiple photos of the process.

Gauge
Gauge is not important at all. If you want to make a larger stamp, use larger yarn and a larger hook. If you want a smaller stamp, use a smaller hook and smaller yarn. The directions given here yield a flower that is approximately 5” across when blocked.
