About this Design
There is something about a pink champagne cocktail that makes me feel frivolous and happy-go-lucky. And that’s just what the Froth and Bubbles Scarf makes me feel like when I wear it on the coldest of winter days … a little happy and bubbly on the inside even when the outside doesn’t seem to be very inviting.

This design is a fabulous stash buster as it provides an opportunity to use up all those lovely little nubbins of leftover yarn that we all have kicking around in our stash. It is also a design where you can let your inner colourist run wild. My finished Froth and Bubbles is an adventure in coral pink froth and bubbles of blue, maroon, teal, green, purple and lilac. However, this design would work equally well with wild and vibrant colours, or a more subdued and less varied palette.

The design also uses as “join-as-you-go” assembly method and I have included diagrams to provide a detailed description of how to join your motifs.

Tension
A single blocked motif crocheted with a 3 mm (US size C2, UK size 11) hook measures 6.3 cm/2 ½ ins in diameter. A close match for tension is important for this pattern in order to ensure that your finished scarf is the correct width and length. Please move up or down a hook size and swatch one more time if your gauge does not match.

Yarn
This design requires a range of colours in fingering/4 ply weight yarn and the yarn amounts needed for each colour will vary from project to project. For a single motif, you will need:

• 2.14 metres/2.3 yards for the centre bubble.
• 3.7 metres/ yards for the frothy edge of each motif.

The finished Froth and Bubbles Scarf contains 135 completed motifs, which means that you will need a total of:

• 289 metres/311 yards for all the centre bubbles.
• 500 metres/546 yards for all the frothy edges.
• 160 metres/175 yards for the edging.

The sample Froth and Bubbles Scarf used a total of 22 bubble colours in shades of blue, green, purple, maroon, lilac and various multi-dye combinations, all drawn from 4-ply/fingering weight leftovers in my stash. The main colour is Bendigo Woollen Mills Luxury 4 ply in Shade 322 Luxury Lotus (approx. 720 m per 200g ball). I used approximately 185 g of this ball to complete the scarf.

Needles
3.0 mm (US size C2, UK size 11) crochet hook.

Notions
Tapestry/darning needle.
