Notes

My first ever, “self-designed” shadow/illusion project. There are things I would have done differently.

I did the scarf in a block design, alternating Red & Black TT’s. IF I ever do one like this again, I will not alternate but keep the TT’s in red for every block.

I wish I could have made the TT’s smaller but I couldn’t figure out how and get a decent proportion.

I wish I had put a larger border on the sides but, since I didn’t, I went back and added a 2 yarn, single crochet on the long edges to give it more stability.

And, yes, I “flipped” the TT’s at the middle so they are right side up no matter which way you look.
