Make a scarf in a weekend

I'm just in the process of finishing off this scarf (sewing up). I made it over the weekend, just devoting a few hours here and there. It's also really simple but very pretty. The pattern was taken from a great book called 'I love crochet' by Rachel Henderson ans Sarah Hazell.

It's a great book for beginners. I used it to teach myself how to crochet. The book suggests using Rowan Kidsilk Haze, a very fine yarn. I thought I'd go a bit more wintery with a heavier yarn. I used Drops Eskimo in Parti. For my yarn I used 3.5 x 50g balls. The Rowan Kidsilk Haze version uses 2 x 25g balls.

Here is the original pattern. I probably did deviate a bit once I got going. I also stopped after 3 rounds of the large circle as I used a thicker yarn.

Hook: 4.5mm (Kidsilk), I used 8mm for the Eskimo.

Tension:
Small circle - 7.5cm diameter
Large circle - 13cm diameter

Making up:

Sew a pair of small circles between each large circle (i'll post photos of what this should look like once I'm done). If you're feeling pretty sew on some sequins/seed beeds in the centre of each circle.
