Description Yuki tamed the crocodile!
There are so many tutorials about the crocodile stitch out there but non really worked for me. My scales looked too cramped starting row two, so I wrote my own pattern based on the 'normal' crocodile stitch and made them a little bit pointier. Normally they should be round but I like them that way.
I wanted to make a scarf out of this petrol colored yarn. I got this at least ten years ago and never knew what to do with it but now there were the perfect pattern but... This stitch is SO yarn consuming that I had much too less yarn and they discontinued this color. So I made those mittens and over half the ball of yarn was gone.

I love these mittens like really. They are warm but not too warm and they look really stylish combined with a black coat.

Since I totally enjoy working with the crocodile stitch I would love to add those to my commission list or put them on etsy.
If you would like a set for yourself, feel free to contact me.

It looks so beautiful! It looks like it would be very thick and warm, too.
Ten years is a long time to keep a ball of yarn, but I'm glad you kept it
so long. You found the perfect thing to use it on.

Aw thanks so much. They really are warm and cozy.
Now I only need to find out what to do with the leftover of this yarn. XD

That's the hardest for me. I love buying the yarn, but can never find something to use 
it on. I guess that's why my yarn stash is so big.

I know that feeling. But if you don't but THAT yarn, one day you find a use for it and remember it being in the store but you haven't bought it.

Exactly! Let's just say I'm have a yarn obsession and I'm completely okay with that. ^.^

Oh those turned out fantastic! Way to go!
I love the look of crocodile stich as well, haven't stiches anything using it yet but one day....
I can't believe it's so yarn consuming!

Thank you!
Oh yes, it is VERY yarn consuming. Each scale is formed of 10 dcs plus it's crocheted on a background of other dcs. So you have many many dcs on a small space. But it looks great! Right now I'm working on a yoke (I hope that's the right word) with dragon scales. But the yarn for the scales is color changing. It looks so great!

Danke! ^____^b
Hm, eigentlich nicht. Das Herumtüfteln bzw. Schreiben der Vorlage war kniffelig, liegt mir einfach nicht, aber das einfache nachhäkeln der Vorlage war nicht so schwer. Dauert wegen der Schuppen nur lange.
