Leaf & Petal Motif (scarf)

[work in progress]
I don’t know if this will make sense to anyone else but me, but here’s the pattern for the “Leaf & Petal” motif. I was inspired by several motifs out there, but the pattern is of my own making. I haven’t seen another pattern exactly like this out there, so if I have unwittingly copied someone then please know it was by mere coincidence and that we share great taste ;)

With G/6 - 4.25MM hook
  • R1: Ch4, join to form circle. Ch2 (counts as dc) and 11 dc into center. Join with sl st to top of ch2 (12 dc).
  • R2: Ch4 (counts as dc + ch2); dc + ch2 in each dc around. Join at ch2 of beginning ch4 (12 dc and 12 ch2 spaces).
  • R3: Ch2 (counts as dc) and 2 dc + ch1 in same space. 3 dc + ch1 in each ch2 space of previous round; join with sl st to top of ch2 (36 dc and 12 ch1 spaces).
  • R4: Ch4 and sl st in next ch1 space of previous round. Continue to ch4 and sl st in each ch1 space; join with sl st to ch1 of first ch4.
  • R5: Sc, hdc, dc, hdc, sc in ch4 space of previous round. Sl st into next ch4 space and 4 dc. Ch3 and sl st into top of dc (picot made). 3 dc, sl st in same ch4 space. Continue around, alternating petals and leaves. Join with sl st to first sc (6 petals + 6 leaves made).
Motifs joined at picots on last round. Join picot by ch1, sl st into other motif’s picot, ch1 and sl st into top of dc. Hiding yarn + joining as you go = minimum time/yarn waste!

Happy stitching!  *B

work in progress

pattern from this book + fabric from her
I'm further along than the picture shows...  Quite a bit further, actually.  Fabric has indeed been cut, pressed, pinned, and sewn.  I'm probably about halfway done with the top, and I'm excited to see it quilted and bound, and then laid on my bed!  Hopefully I'll be better about posting, and then you can see the finished product ;)

I can always tell Fall is right around the corner because I get the itch to sew up a storm.  Another hint of the upcoming season?  Pumpkin beanies!  That is, if I ever get around to finishing and/or photographing them...  *B
