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



Note- Ch 3 counts as 1 dc and ch 2 counts as 1 hdc throughout.

With Dusty Green and H hook, ch 52.
Row 1- 1 dc in 4th ch from hook and in each ch across.(50 sts).
Row 2- Ch 3, turn. 1 dc in next dc. ch 1, 1 dc in each of next 2 dc, ch 1, *1 dc in each of next 2 dc, ch 1, rep from * across. Ch 3, turn. Row 3- Rep row 2. Ch 2, turn. Row 4- 1tr in next dc, 1 sc in ch-1 space, *1 hdc in next dc, 1 tr in next dc, 1 sc in next ch-1 space, rep from * across. Rows 5 to 6- Rep row 2. Row 7- Rep row 4. Row 8- Rep row 4. Row 9- Rep row 5.


Row 10- Turn the neckie sidewise and sc across the narrow edge of it. Row 11- Rep row 10. Row 12- Ch 3, make 3 dc in same spot as ch 3, skip 2 sc, make 4 dc in next sc, skip 2 sc, make 4 dc in next sc, rep across. End row with 1 sc in last stitch. Fasten off.
Rows 13 to 15- Turn the neckie on its edge at opposite end and make 2 rows of sc for buttonband. Fasten off. Weave in tails.

Sew buttons on side opposite shell edging. Use the space in between the first 2 dc in each shell to slide in button.

Spiky Little Neck Warmer

This is another convertible piece for your cool Season wear. This contemporary neckwarmer is textured and nice and it works up really fast! It is really fun and I decided to show it in all the ways that you can wear it. It converts from a neck warmer into a neckie and back. Make it in your favorite color and let me know how you liked it.

Materials:

Worsted weight blue yarn

Crochet hook size H

4 shirt-size buttons mathing yarn (which would go easily thorugh dc sts)

blunt needle

scissors

Ch 49 with Blue and H hook.
Row 1- 1 dc in 4th chain from hook and in each ch across. (47 dc).
Row 2- 1 dc in each of next 3 dc, 1 hdc in next dc, 1 tr in next dc, 1 sc in next dc, *1 tr in next dc, 1 sc in next dc, rep from * across, stopping this stitch 6 sts from end of row. Now, proceed as follows: 1 hdc, 1 dc in next dc and in each dc to end of row. Ch 3, turn. Row 3-1 dc in each st across. Row 4- Rep row 2. Row 5- Rep row 3.

Continue alternating these two rows until you have completed 9 rows, ending with a dc row. Fasten off, weave in tails.

Make a shell trim for buttonholes as follows: Join yarn to the narrow edge of the neck warmer, ch 3, make 2 dc in same spot as ch 3, skip a little space, make 1 sc, skip a little space, make shell of 4 dc in next space, *skip a little space across and make 1 sc, skip a little bit, eyeballing it and make a shell of 4 dc, rep from * across. Fasten off and weave in tail. Sew 4 buttons on the opposite narrow edge of the neck warmer which will use these shells as buttonholes (you could do 5 if you wanted, because you are going to wind up with 5 shells, but I left the middle one without a button and it wourld out really well, choose a size of button that pushes easily in between dc stitches but stays secure and doesn't open up afterwards.)

That's it!
