He is really into Lego Rock Raiders so I wanted to make something that kinda references it, but is still subtle enough to wear to work :D

This was my first time steam blocking Acrylic Yarn, it makes such a difference!!! The finished scarf got super soft and flowy, none of that creaky stiff crochet feeling left haha

    Really cool concept, and it looks like you nailed the execution.

    Does acrylic yarn usually feel creaky and stiff? I have a handmade crocheted scarf and it’s pretty soft and flowy… But maybe it got some special attention that I didn’t know about.

      Thank you!

      It’s usually creaky and stiff for me, but I also really tend to overtighten my stitches. Maybe it’s not a problem for people who are better at keeping them somewhat loose haha

      Aside from steaming, fabric softener can also make acrylic more flowy, but that isn’t permanent and you’d probably know about it :o
