This is the simplest neck cozy you can make. It is both fit for a beginner and for an expert crocheter.
The expert can take it as a blank slate, a template that can be used to add various fancy edgings that will make it totally gorgeous, while the beginner can achieve a

Okay, you've hooked me. I gotta try this one, I'll let you know how it turns out.
ReplyDeleteYour patterns are wonderful, thank you so much for sharing.
ReplyDeleteThanks guys! There's nothing like good crocheters, hung? (LOL) The beuty of this pattern is that you can practically do anything with it. For example, you can add the fanciest edging of your choice to the outside edge of it, you can add a small fringe to the crossing ends, you can change the number of buttons from 4 to 2 or even to 1 in the middle. Play with it, you'll love it!

I love this short scarf. I am working it right now. Row 6 you note to work stitches into dcs and skip dcs. The previous row is sc.
ReplyDeleteI get 5 stitches at the end of Row 6 rather than 6, is that a typo or did I err?
ReplyDeleteHi Sandie P! You were right, I had some typos on row 6 (skip sc, not dc)but you are supposed to have 6 sts, not 5 at the end of that row. What you can do is to go back a little ways and add 2 dc into 1 sc to get the final count and yet have a straight edge.
ReplyDeleteHope this helps and thanks for your eagle eyes!
Hope your neck cozy turns out gorgeous!
