Lacy Keyhole Neck Warmer

Best Blog Tips

Materials:
Worsted weight yarn of your choice (I used Red Heart Coffee and Cafe yarns)
H size crochet hook
Note: Puff Stitch: Yo, insert hook into the specific stitch, yarn over, insert hook back into the same stitch (3 lps on hk), repeat all these steps twice more (if necessary, count your loops, which must be 7 lps on hook), yarn over and pull yarn through all loops on hook. If you wnat to, make a single crochet stitch or 1 chain, to complete the stitch better. I didn't do it because I needed a certain amount of stitches and did not want to be thrown off by an extra chain or stitch. If you do add this stitch or chain, please be aware of your addition and skip that stitch when working the subsequent rows.

You can use a contrasting color for the keyhole. For example, you can make your keyhole red and your lace royal blue, or any combination you would like.
