Another Ruffled Scarf - Giveaway Style

This giveaway is now closed. Check out other posts for links to awesome tutorials and check back later for more giveaways!

Wow - this is getting out late. The whole reason I pushed back until today was so I could have my super cute niece model for me and I never got around to calling her. Sorry, you'll have to suffer through the pictures I took this afternoon. I am so not a photographer.

Anyway, this tutorial comes from Aesthetic Nest again. I posted another tutorial from this site, my first project on this site in fact, the cloche (or baby hat). So if you want to see some really good pictures of what this scarf looks like, check out the full tutorial with her pictures - they are much, much better than mine. Anyway, enough talking about the pictures, here they are.

As the hanger and the dog model so well, you can see that this scarf can be worn multiple ways. And it's super ruffly. Fun, fun. I am so not kidding when I say this is about as easy as it gets when it comes to crocheting - a big ol' chain and lots of double crochets. Even if you don't know how to double crochet, she has lots of great step by step pictures to get you through it. Still don't want to make one for yourself? Not a problem because it's giveaway time!

The winner of this giveaway will get a super ruffly scarf, made by me, in the color of your choice - limited only by what colors they have in stock at Hobby Lobby. So how do you enter? Easy, just leave a comment on this post telling me if you are a "scarves keep you warm" kind of person or "scarves are a fashion statement" kind of person. I used to be a "keep you warm" but I'm starting to lean to the the "fashion statement" side of things. (Only one comment per person please - multiple comments will be deleted.) Hurry and enter before Wednesday, 10 August because that's when the giveaway will end, at 11:59pm. One comment will be selected at random and will be announced on the blog the 11th of August. I will then contact you to get your color choice. Happy commenting and good luck!

  1. You know I love that scarf! I'm a scarf as a fashion statement gal. I uses to think I couldn't pull off scarves. That is until I found the perfect scarf at an airport store.

  2. I like scarves as more of a fashion statement, but I'm not sure if I can pull them off, either. But, this scarf looks skinny enough that it wouldn't eat up what little neck I have :)

  3. Ooo, Pick Me, Pick Me! I think they are becoming a fashion statement for sure. I have a fantastic SIL that watches my kids for FREE all the time and would love this. What a great free way to pay her back. :-)

  4. So cute!!! I'm not sure if I can pull a scarf off, but I am willing to try. I live in the south so they definitely are worn more for fashion than to keep warm. :)

  5. I need that! I'm a more for fashion scarf person but I live in Utah so I guess it gets to the NEED point about October. I'll claim both.:)

  6. Fashion statement and keeping warm-it depends on the scarf

  7. haha! I just liked the scarf! Now the contest... I live in the Chicago area. Since I wear them 6 months of the year, I wear them for both warmth and fashion. Warm doesn't have to be ugly. : ) And the twirlier the better! I'll twirl through the aisles of the grocery store (A bad, but oh so fun habit) with my twirly scarf!
