Wow!!!!! And it finally arrived!!!!

Last week I bought some yarns from Deramores. New colors, new fibres... I was so excited about them and yesterday they arrived!!!!!!

Cotton:

 Merino (I love these):

 Cotton (special for baby crafts):

And more cotton!!!!

One cushion, two sides

And the fourth!!!!

And finally...

I made a fourth neck warmer!!!! 

This time for men:

The pattern is the same as in the raspberry neck warmer, only higher and longer. 

Remember: 

• Chain 40 to begin
• ROW 1: starting in the second chain from the hook, work one dc stitch into each chain. Chain 1 and turn. 
• ROW 2: one dc into each chain. Chain one and turn.

You should crochet as many rows as you need, depending on the size you need. Try it on before deciding to stop!

This time, instead of buttons, I crocheted the two ends to join them. It's even easier than the button-pattern!!!

This was a loooooong weekend!

And this was a long weekend (4 days!!!!!). So I had a lot of time for my crafts, and was very creative. I made some more neck warmers, this time with another yarn and a different design: pattern, size...

Here's the pattern (both are the same, in different colors):

• Chain 22 to begin
• ROW 1: starting in the second chain from the hook, *work one dc stitch, then one tr in the next chain* . Repeat * * until the end of row. If you finish with a dc, chain 2 and turn but if you finish with a tr chain 1 and turn. 
• ROW 2: where there was a dc, work a tr stitch, then a dc in the next stitch (where there was a tr in the previous row). Repeat until the end of row: one dc, one tr. Chain 1 or 2 and turn.

 You get a very nice pattern by combining these two types of stitches in the same row:

You should crochet as many rows as you like, I made these quite long to form a V neck. Try it on before deciding to stop!

For the buttons, you don't need to make any button holes if you don't choose very big buttons. This way, you can fasten them wherever you want. ;) 

You just have to choose some nice buttons with nice colors that combine with the yarn! 

raspberry neck warmer

A new neck warmer... it's almost a year since I made the last! This one is quite different, in a bright pinky purple...

This is the pattern tutorial:

• Chain 22 to begin
• ROW 1: starting in the second chain from the hook, work one dc stitch into each chain. Chain 1 and turn. 
• ROW 2: one dc into each chain. Chain one and turn.

You should crochet as many rows as you need, depending on your neck. Try it on before deciding to stop!

For the buttons, I made three chains (their length will change depending on the size of the buttons).
