Those who are about to be unravelled salute you!

I don't know if you recall, but a few years ago I started to learn how to crochet.

A friend of mine from work gave me a couple of very thick acrylic yarn as a gift: Bravo Big by Schachenmayr. It is a super bulky yarn in a pretty dark blue colour.

I thought for a while what I could make with it and decided on a sort of vest. A super bulky vest. Erm...

Yes, super bulky it was. I had to buy a third ball of yarn to finish it too.

The pattern is my own idea, the body is two sides half double crochet, with an off the shoulder yoke at the top in a sort of wave stitch. Please bear with me, I haven't crocheted in a long time, so my terminology is rusty.

The vest was cute alright, but it was too tight to move in it easily, plus it was very thick.

So in the end, after not wearing it for more than a few times, I think it is time to unravel it and use the yarn to make something more wearable. Like a scarf.

But first, one last photo:

It was a fun crochet and I learned a lot from this experience. If I were to redo the same thing, I would also make the base of the yoke a starting single crochet, instead of a chain. If anyone wants the pattern of a beginner, I can share it. I keep notes with everything I make.

Now, time to frog it! If only I could find the last end...
