I need some help with my SEO!

Any advice and critique about my SEO would be very much appreciated! I am trying to see if i am in the right path here! Any suggestions about my titles, descriptions or tags???

I had a look at one listing for the cerulean blue slouchy hat - looks like great title and tags to me! Clear description, etc. good job :) note that it can take some time for search engines to pick up on your items. For example I listed a tutorial a couple weeks ago and it wasn't until a few days ago that search engines picked it up. So don't worry if it takes awhile to get search results even if your SEO is good :)

I don't usually search for scarves, since I knit and crotchet myself, but I was trying to imagine how i would search for one if I did. I took this one as example
http://www.etsy.com/listing/127798116/chunky-crochet-scarf-spring-scarf-circle?ref=shop_home_active
If I were looking for that, I would probably search by either color or style so more like 'violet circle scarf'. To me, that should be your first three words.

Thats what I try to do with my titles, is imagine how someone would search for that specific item and use those three words as the beginning of my title. At the very least I would probably use 'chunky violet circle scarf' since most people dont know the different between crotchet and knit, I wouldn't use that as a main search term. Hope that helps! :)

So basically, any changes, give it time to see if things pick up and/or if Google is able to pick up the changes? I worked a bit on the SEO last few days and I think I positioned myself a bit better than the original tags/titles.
