Happy March all! We've had a rather balmy weather lately and it started smelling like spring. I just wish it doesn't have one of its tantrums like last year when spring started way to early and then snowed in late April and got everything frostbitten.
Today I am sharing a very easy to make, no-crochet lariat (you can also call it a "skinny scarf" :)
For this project you need 48 meters of jumbo yarn, and a sellotape.
Cut 4 strands of yarn, each 4 meters long. That's the first set. Cut yarn for 2 more sets, so there are 3 sets of 4 strands of yarn, each 4 meters long.
Position them closely next to one another, but easily to distinguish between them, and tape the strands about 10cm inward. Start braiding the sets of yarn. Maintain tension throughout. The lower hanging parts of yarn will tangle, but you need to pull just one of the sets, so it straightens right away.
Decorate with crochet, fabric of felt flowers. Have fun!
