now I am crocheting keyhole scarves for one (1) year olds......
I really enjoyed making this set - a request from a special customer.......
Finding the right colour was a bit of a challenge and then making sure a natural fibre yarn carried the colour.............
After some disappointing searching - colour charts on internet not matching the yarn etc. and then even the colour charts with yarn seemed to be a different dye lot and just wouldn't do at all......
patience is a virtue..... they say..........
and yes I managed to find the right yarn .........
I was just searching too soon..... the yarn had just arrived on the shop shelf.......... thank you Rowan by Amy Butler and Rowan Wool Cotton............ a perfect match.
Divine colours and both yarns crochet together perfectly - same tension and weight.
A soft and smooth DK weight yarn - providing warmth and comfort with 50% merino wool and 50% cotton blend. Definitely my new favourite yarn.
As I started crocheting I knew straight away I love this so much........
I must get a couple balls more of a few other colours..........
and yes when I finished the scarf set - I just loved the way it came together - so I made a second set - with a different contrast colour. Just couldn't help myself............
How perfect is that??? now where is that grandchild?

Keyhole scarves are perfect for primary school kids since most schools have banned long scarves that can get caught in bus doors! I'd bet that you will be getting a lot of requests for more sets once yours are seen.
