So we’re 13 days into October and it’s still in the 80’s or the 90’s here and it’s unbearable. Sure, we’ve got leaves changing colors, I made an apple pie last night, pumpkin everything is out but I don’t get that certain chill in the air, if you know what I mean. Maybe my first scarf of the season will bring me some lovely cool temps – say hello to the Dana Scarf crochet pattern.

To make this pattern I was able to use a brand new yarn, that I was super lucky to have been able to try out, Kindred by WeCrochet/Knitpicks. If you’re interested I will be updating my blog with a link to my review on the brand new Kindred DK from WeCrochet. It will be out 10/14 (Tomorrow). But any lovely dk yarn will work to make this a fun and special project for you.

Back to the yarn though, this yarn really inspired how I worked up this design. Sometimes you have to let the yarn tell you how it wants to look, ya know? So for this design I kept it simple-ish, I wanted an easy to replicate repeat that you could easily make larger (by adding rows) or wider (the multiple is 3), then add the edge details and the tassels as you’d like. It’s just a easy peasy design made to let the yarn take the center stage.

And the name? Also inspired by the yarn – Dana is the main character of Octavia Bulter’s book, Kindred. If you’ve never read any of Butler’s books she was a treasure and a great science fiction writer. So, yeah, the name doesn’t have anything to do with the book other than the name of the yarn gave me a reason to tell people to read Butler’s books, which is always a win in my world.

I hope where ever you are you’re having a great time and being safe and healthy. Hugs friends. Wash your hands and masks.

I was provided the yarn for this pattern by WeCrochet for the purposes of making this design, with compensation. I wasn’t provided the yarn with the expectations of positive or negative reviews but I did enjoy using this yarn, it was the first time I used it and I really like the way it works up and how it drapes.
