Want to make your own sakura scarf? Here’s how…

You’ll need:
1 skein brown yarn (any material of your choice)
scraps of pink & white yarn
H crochet hook
yarn needle

Gauge does not matter.

With the brown yarn, chain 10. Leave a long enough tail to do decrease stitches later. Then slip stitch in first chain to form foundation of tube, chain 2 and dc each stitch all around.

Continue until tube reaches 48-60 inches. Now decrease double crochet, dc 1. Repeat until 1 stitch remains and bind off.

With the other end of the tube, do decrease double crochet, dc 1 with the tail. Repeat until 1 stitch remains and bind off. You now have a tree branch!

Now make some twigs!
Chain 8, slip stitch in first chain, chain 2 and dc each stitch until desired length is reached anywhere from 4-8 inches. Decrease double crochet, dc 1. Repeat until 1 stitch remains and bind off. Leave the other end alone; you’ll be attaching that end to the main branch.

Make 2 more twigs, any length is up to you.

Sew on the twigs onto the main tube so it resembles a cherry tree branch.

The branch need flowers. Go to this site and follow the pattern instructions: http://nekosknitting.blogspot.com/2011/03/sakura.html
(Someone else came up with this flower pattern, not me.)
Make as many flowers as you like.

Sew the flowers on to the branch. Weave in ends.
