This was something I made with a very expensive yarn left over from a sweater my mother knitted for me. I wish I had more of this yarn, it crochets into a very elegant work and is easy to use. I am certain Mom got this yarn from a yarn store that has since closed down years ago. In fact, Joanne's aside, there are no stores to purchase quality yarn anymore. We drive quite a distance to get to Joanne's (in the Fashion Square Mall Torrance Ca).
I found the Open Fan stitch in a sampler booklet I have and just started crocheting this on a whim. It turned out so beautiful I had to give it to Mom for Christmas one year. I liked this one so much I made another with the same yarn for my boyfriend's mother and used several different stitches from the sampler book... Neither scarf took very long to make. They aren't very long due to the amount of yarn I had left to work with.
