Create a Cozy Crochet Neck Warmer with Buttons

You’ll Need

1 skein of yarn (50% wool, 50% acryl; 100g/156m);

Crochet hooks 4.5 – 5;

5 buttons.

Stitches Control

16 sts x 14 rows = 10 x 10 cm with single crochets.

Note

Crochet this neck-warmer across.

Instructions

Make 17 chain sts + 3 chain sts increase and continue work.

Rows Sequence

1^st row: 4 double crochets, 3 half double crochets, 10 single crochets;

2^nd row: 1 chain st increase, 10 single crochets, 3 half double crochets, 5 double crochets.

Make these 2 rows by turning to achieve a height of 37 cm.

Or you can use another variant:

2^nd row: 3 chain sts, double crochets to the end of the row.

In this case, turn your work and fasten it with the fancy pattern according to the scheme.

Fringe

You should make 3 double crochets from every selvedge st – for the 1^st row, then make 6 or 8 double crochets, but not 7, as it’s stated on the scheme, for the symmetry.

Options for the Last Row

1^st variant of the last row: * 3 double crochets, picot of 23 chain sts, 3 double crochets in one hole, skip the next hole of the lower row*; repeat from * to * three times on one motif of the pattern, alternative – single crochets between motifs.

2^nd variant of the last row: * 3 double crochets, 2 chain sts, 3 double crochets in one hole, skip the next hole of the lower row*; repeat from * to * three times on one motif of the pattern, alternative – single crochets between motifs. Then, make 1 row of single crochets and create a picot of 3 chain sts above 2 chain sts (3 picots for each motif).

Final Steps

Make button-holes and sew the buttons.
