ebrillblaiddesThis was a bit of a side quest, but with reasons.
It's made out of yarn left over from the project tote, to go with it because I was tired of hooks and small scissors slipping out through the mesh (which is one of my two reasons for making it), based on the Yarnspirations mosaic crochet scarf pattern but of course with far fewer repeats. Sewed on two short zippers from the stash to wrap and close it; it's not quite as smooth or adaptable as a single zipper with two pulls pointed at each other, but had the advantage of being something I could make out of stuff that's free because I already own it.
The other reason I wanted to make this up was to make something to practice mosaic crochet. A while back I got the Humble Bundle of crochet pattern books, one of which has a pattern for a tank top that I could definitely see using as a layering piece. Since I hadn't done any mosaic crochet before (though some of the stripes in the plague year afghan were definitely related) it seemed like a good idea to get some practice in instead of figuring it out while working at clothing scale.
