10 Ways To Wear a "Sharf" (Shawlette or Scarf)

Now for the many ways to wear my "Watercolor Sharf" made for Elisabeth Andree's blog contest... The long thin triangular shape and the stretchy fabric of the single crochet chain stitch makes it easy to wear as a Shawlette or a Scarf!
As a Shawl it can be worn...
Around Shoulders
With a Collar











Over the Shoulder
Take special notice of the lovely Shawl Pin hand-carved by Jimbo Price, who I had the pleasure of meeting at the Crochet Liberation Front retreat last October. Check out his blog, Jimbo's Front Porch, just 2 more days to enter his Hook Give Away and Auction!

The long ends can be wrapped around and tied into a Shrug...











As a Scarf it can be worn...
Wrapped once
Wrapped Twice
Pulled Through










As a Hood
A Cowl










Or even a skirt!

I am sure there are many more ways to wear this garment I have not even thought of yet, the possibilities are endless...
