Crochet Flower Scarf

I found the following image on Pinterest and went in search of the tutorial to share with you. 

Of course I couldn't find it, but I search through google images for a crochet flower scarf and wholly molly did I find a jackpot of colorful eye candy. Here are a few of my favorites:

Free pattern from Red Heart Yarn. [link]

Both of the above can be purchased from an import company called China-Direct-Buys, however, you need to buy like 500 of them. What I liked about them was the double flower idea in each as well as the addition of buttons in the bottom image.

This one was being offered for sale through iOffer. What I enjoy about it most is the idea of adding flowers to the ends of the scarf for a unique finish. I also love the colors for a fresh clean spring feeling.

And this beauty found on a french website (L'atelier de Marie) using a Japanese flower pattern. This pattern from The Florida Crochet Garden, might just be the pattern start you are looking for. [link]

Four Fold Envelope

These origami envelopes are made from four different papers with one fold each. You can make them in a variety of sizes. The tutorial was posted on Cut Out + Keep by Copernicus. [link] Upon seeing these, I thought it would be a great teacher gift with a little Post It Note pad inside. Or even a cute folio for a CD or DVD.
