Pink-Orange Scarf and Mittens

This scarf and mittens I made for my daughter are by way of being a happy accident.  In the original plan, I was just going to use a cute fuzzy pink-orange yarn for them, simply-crocheted, and be done with them.  That would have worked well enough, I think.

But I didn't have quite enough yarn to make the mittens as long as would be ideal; plus they really needed ties if they were going to stay on my grabby daughter's hands.  But no yarn!  What to do???

I went to my LYS and found Louisa Harding's Kimono Ribbon, which complemented the original colors beautifully, adding a dash of green to the pink and orange.  Bright and charming!  

So I added on a little more length to the mittens, plus some ties.  And then, for good measure, crocheted a few flowers (baby stars from Crochet Bouquet) to add on, as well as adding a bit of fringe.  



I love the finished effect, and Kavi seems reasonably happy with it too.  Success!
