What a beautiful scarf! I love the colors and who doesn't need to whittle down their stash, righ?!?

Lotte

Thanks for this great idea! I'm going to try one, but I am still considering working with a smaller hook, although that would mean making more squares.. so, a lot of work :-|.
How many squares did you use?
I prefer using the magic adjustable ring to start, that way there's no holes in the middle of the squares :). (a tutorial is found here: http://www.crochetme.com/forums/t/28917.aspx or can be found on youtube here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WLuSVyKvoUg)

Hi I have stupidly started a blanket with little squares! Rough estimate I think I am going to need 1K squares! How many squares are in your scarf?

Annemarie
