Stylish Neckie

I love combo pieces, those that you can wear in different ways are really nice. Here's another one of those! This pretty neckie is softly textured to lend it interest and a bit lacy so that it won't be stiff around your neck. The beauty of it is that you can wear it only buttoned at the top and opened at the bottom as a neckie or you can close it all up and wear it as a gentle cowl. This easy and attractive pattern is also relatively fast to make!

Materials Red Heart worsted weight yarn Dusty Green
Crochet hook size H
Blunt needle
scissors
4 Buttons of your choice of a size that can easily go between dc stitches
Sewing needle
Sewing thread matching the yarn color of the neckie

Double Duty Cowlette

This is a nifty idea. A short cowl that can hug your neck and warm it, and which, by simply pulling at the cord and making a bow with it, can turn into a little hat!
Easy and fast to make with the nice texture of a pebbly Offset Cluster, you can make it in a single sitting if you are a fast crocheter!
Here's the pattern:

Ch 3, turn. Row 3- 1 dc in each dc and ch across, including in top of each Offset Cluster. Repeat rows 2 and 3 until you have completed 36 rows. Fasten off, leaving a long tail to sew with.

Cord: Holding together a strand of Cherry Red and Of Soft Navy at the same time, and H hook, crochet a chain of 97 chains. Sl st in last loop, leave a medium-length tail on both ends. Make a knot on each end of the cord (do not tighten it). Straighten cowlette so that the back seam is int he middle of the back and threading a blent needle with one of the tails left on the cord, thread the cord in and out through the eyelet row, making sure both ends of the cord wind up in the center of the front of the cowlette.
Make two tassels (short like I made htem or long, if you like them that way), sew them to the ends of the cord. Fasten off.
You're done!
