This Unique Crochet Scarf Pattern has a story behind it and it is a sad one.
That is why it is so unique to me.
This crochet scarf was designed in memory of Eden Yerushalmi, a young Israeli woman who was captured and held hostage by the Hamas terrorist attack on October 7th, 2023, She survived 334 days and then was murdered in the tunnels of Gaza.
I never knew Eden, she was in my daughters’ age range.
But we all became aware of her life story , her family and friends and kept praying for her release for many many days.
Unfortunately, she was murdered along with 5 more hostages.
This is a unique crochet scarf pattern

About the yarn I used for this pattern
I was not able to have well-known yarns to work this scarf due to all the situation in my country.
So I found this Chinesse origin yarn that is not properly labeled. This happens sometimes and what we can do is try to figure out more details about the yarn.
So, this is a blended cotton mix yarn, weight #4 ( WPI)
The variegated yarn is from the same origin but when I tested using the WPI method it came out as weight #3.
I suggest you use 1 weight yarn for the whole scarf.
