As I've said before, I am a huge fan of the crochet designer Twinkie Chan. I adore her food themed scarves, and I've made many of them. I own both her books (Twinkie Chan's Crochet Goodies for the Fashion Foodie and Twinkie Chan's Crochet Abode a la Mode), and I admire her creativity. I really enjoy her breakfast themed scarves. I've made her Buttered Toast Scarf (I even made matching gloves) and the Bacon and Eggs Scarf. There was one scarf I really wanted to make, but the pattern wasn't available. So I had to figure it out on my own, which wasn't too hard...
...especially since I actually had one of Twinkie's pancake scarves to use as a guide. My friend's daughter bought her Twinkie Chan's scarf a couple Christmases ago. I wanted to make sure I got the pancake size right and the length right. I did decide to do the pancake syrup differently. And I used a darker yarn for the pancakes and syrup. For my pancake scarf, I used Lion Brand Vanna's Choice Honey, Lion Brand Vanna's Choice Beige, Lion Brand Vanna's Glamour Copper, and Caron Simply Soft Sunshine.
After crocheting 14 pancakes and stitching them together, I added the syrup and the butter. I crocheted the syrup in a flower-like pattern, and then added the butter.
My pancake scarf has 14 pancakes and is approximately 64 inches long.
Wow! You've got skills. That almost looks good enough to eat;)
