It’s hard to remember for sure since I stitched this set up so long ago, but I’m pretty sure this is the completed set from the hat I originally posted a few days ago. The colors are very similar. I don’t remember having that much of the yarn I used for the hat I posted the other day to make a scarf too…it was a specialty yarn, but looking at the pictures I think it has to be the same set. If that’s the case, this whole set was stitched up in a yarn called Stella in the colorway: Azul and I think the white was called Blanca. This yarn wasn’t nearly as soft as the Caron Simply Soft Party Yarn that has the sparkle in it, but I just loved this blue color. I wanted the sparkle and I wanted this color blue and this was the only yarn I could find with both. It wasn’t terrible, but after working with the Caron yarn for so many hats, this one took some getting adjusted to.

The patterns used to stitch this set up were my Flower and Car Fringe Textured Scarf Pattern and my Ninja Turtle Newsboy Hat and Beanie Pattern. I of course adjusted the Ninja Turtle Pattern to exclude the ties and to add the flower. The 3 Layer Flower pattern is my original design which I offer for free in another post.
I discussed the yarn used for this pattern a little above, but upon doing a quick research I could not find the Stella yarn that I used being sold anywhere. I do not remember where I purchased it 9 years ago. Other good choices to use would be Vanna’s Choice, Caron Simply Soft Party, and Red Heart Soft. I would recommend any of these. A good place to check out to see if you could find good sales on them are the Lion Brand Website or the Create For Less website.
Something else that comes in handy if you decide you’d like to stitch these sets up for yourself is a good set of crochet hooks. My favorite brand to use are the Knit Picks brand. They are so beautiful and it makes my heart happy just to look at them. Pictured below are the knitting needle version, of which they offer a mosaic wood version of the crochet hooks as well. I just love them. They also offer a padded handle set. I have a wooden set (although not the mosaic one…bummer…they didn’t offer that when I bought mine) and I have the padded set and I love both of them.
I also have a cute little set from Amazon that I love too. You can buy this one fairly inexpensively and it comes with some tools and notions that will be helpful too. Several buying options to choose from and I don’t think you can go wrong with any of them. 🙂 I don’t have the light up set pictured below but I think that looks kind of awesome and I may have to get one and try it out. I love that it’s rechargeable!
That should be about all you need if you want to try this one out. I have lots more of these sets coming up to share since I stitched SO many of these back when I wrote the patterns. They have been very popular items! Please let me know if you have any questions or need any help.
Happy Stitching!
