Meltwater Scarf & Hat

Back in New Zealand last year I got all inspired by the glaciers I’d seen to design a hat or scarf that had the rippley effect of the ice, with blue water in the crevices. I bought three balls of Shepherd 12ply Felted Lambswool, in white, blue and a deeper blue.

A few days ago I got the itch to try out my idea. Trouble was, none of the methods I tried, in knitting or crochet, gave me quite the look I was after, and for some reason I’d only bought one ball of white for an idea that was mostly white, and that wasn’t enough.

In the end I gave up on the idea for now, but I was really enjoying working with the yarn so I tried a wavy crochet effect:

Which was fun to do, and kinda looks a bit like the threaded rivers of New Zealand. With the leftovers I just managed to make a hat to match.
