He is really into Lego Rock Raiders so I wanted to make something that kinda references it, but is still subtle enough to wear to work :D

This was my first time steam blocking Acrylic Yarn, it makes such a difference!!! The finished scarf got super soft and flowy, none of that creaky stiff crochet feeling left haha

    It’s beautiful! What technique did you use for the color work? I don’t recognize it. I’ve done a lot of Mosaic crochet but this doesn’t look like mosaic to me.

      thank you! I’m not sure what the technique is called, I picked it up from this youtube tutorial :)

      The basic idea is that you always have two yarn colors that you can switch between whenever you like, - the one you don’t want gets hidden on the inside of the other one.

        Oh interesting, it’s basically tapestry crochet but with half-doubles instead of singles. No wonder the blocking opened up the stitches so much! Thank you for sharing!
