Myrtle Crochet Scarf by Amanda Perkins
Project Overview
Myrtle is a crochet scarf designed by Amanda Perkins as a versatile stash buster project. The scarf is named after Myrtleberry, a house located in the East Lyn gorge near Watersmeet, and draws color inspiration from the wild whortleberries that grow on Exmoor. This intermediate-level crochet project is ideal for crafters looking to use up yarn scraps while creating a finished accessory with cohesive, nature-inspired coloring.
Yarn Requirements and Material Specifications
The Myrtle Scarf requires 300 grams of 4 ply or fingering weight yarn, which typically yields approximately 360 to 400 meters per 100 grams.

For best visual results, Amanda Perkins recommends selecting colors within the same color family to achieve a look similar to the designer's original creation.
