Arabesque Stitch Scarf

[MarvieN]

I finished the scarf I made for my friend in the states. I'm even going to post the pic right here (nope you don't even have to work for it this time lol) because I downloaded a program for XP that resizes pics with one little click. Gotta love that! I don't even have to open a program or anything. I'm the ultimate lazy ;) So without further ado.... here's the scarf

and here's a close up of the stitch. I'll post instructions tomorrow on my blog for anyone who is interested. It was easy, and worked up quickly (when I actually sat down with it lol)

Thanks everyone =)

This was a such a simple stitch and give such texture that I will definately be using it more. It has lots of possibilities!

Marvie-

Love the scarf. Quick question, what size hook?

[kaycrochay]

It's gorgeous! I took a look at your stitch instructions (easy to read-thank you) and it looks so simple, but the finished product has a beautiful texture to it! Thanks for posting it. :w-sman2

Deneen, I used a G hook on the scarf. (beacause my H hook was lost till about 20 minutes ago lol) I haven't tried this stitch with any other sizes yet, but I imagine the effect would be different with larger hooks.
