One of our sensationally talented Yarn Me Calm (YMC) Community members designed this gorgeous Scarf-Ette.
The lovely Samantha Murray (@thewoollymammothco on Instagram) gracefully offered to have her stunning design posted on The Calming Yarn Blog as a free pattern!
I am so excited to share this gorgeous make with you here!
I was so excited when she first let me know that I even offered to test making the Scarf-Ette, so now I have one of my own - YAY!!! One of our other sensational Yarn Me Calm Community Members, Simone Howes, also tested this gorgeous pattern (thanks Simone x).
I hope you all love this pattern as much as I do and it would be wonderful if you jumped on over to Samantha's Instagram page to show her your appreciation!
Samantha also makes gorgeous crocheted items for sale and you can find her on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/thewoollymammothco/

Repeat rows 10-17 until you reach the desired width (approximately 23cm wide). I finished on Row 3 then SC around the entire Scarf-Ette to create a border.
Simone finished on Row 7 and had a finished size of 101cm (40 inches) x 20cm (8 inches).
At this stage you can choose to put buttons on your Samantha’s Scarf-Ette or leave it without.
If you would like to use your Samantha’s Scarf-Ette as a cowl then fold your Samantha’s Scarf-Ette so the two ends come to a point (pictured).
Secure the buttons on your Samantha’s Scarf-Ette to correspond with the spaces and you have instant button holes!!!
