Cool Warmth

Introduction

Cool Warmth Scarves

I love how Tilli Tomas Mogul yarn, which is pre-strung with glass beads, feels cool and smooth to the touch, soft and warm to wear. It’s the perfect way to dress up for a cold night. This scarf duo—a cravat and a corkscrew lariat can be worn apart or together—so you really get three looks from not much more than an evening of crocheting. To wear the two together, twist the corkscrew around the cravat, and fluff it a bit after you put it on, so both the ruffles and the lace fabric shows.

Materials List

  • 1-2 skeins Tilli Tomas Mogul (100% Australian merino wool; 80 yds/100 g; CYCA#4 medium): color Parchment (both scarves took a total of 1 ½ skeins of yarn)
    • Big thanks to Dreamweaver Yarns for generously supplying the yarn for this project!
    • You could substitute any worsted weight yarn. If you use a plain yarn, try working it together with a strand of carry-along yarn that’s metallic or glitzy—the thin strand won’t change your gauge, it will just add sparkle.
  • Size I/9 (5.5 mm) crochet hook
  • Scissors
  • Yarn Needle
