For me this beautiful crochet neck warmer embodies timeless romance, and charm. I’m a bit of an “old soul” and go weak in the knees for anything lacy, and feminine (don’t get me started on frills and ruffles!). This piece is modern enough to go with today’s latest fashions, but is reminiscent of a by-gone-era of socials at the lighthouse and walks in the rose garden. It’s a perfect accessory for date night, or any special occasion.

You’re welcome!
Hi Kristen! I whipped one out last night in light blue merino and it’s gorgeous! I’m so pleased and your pattern is so easy to follow! I can’t wait to make a whole bunch as presents. Thanks for all the detailed instructions – I could easily adapt the pattern to match my yarn (ch 96). You are so talented and I love all your designs. Thank you also for making them free – much appreciated! These will keep me busy here in Norway, where summers are very short (fall is already creeping in) and winters are LONG and DARK.
You’re very welcome, Julia! I’m glad you happy with your hat from this pattern! 😀
Hi Kirsten, your crochet items are beautiful. I’m constantly looking (for months) for scarves and cowls that are different and yours caught my eye immediately. I don’t know why it took so long to find you. It’s so sweet of you to share your beautiful talent…I appreciate and can’t wait to get started. You made my day!
Thank you for the sweet words, Kathryn! ?
I’m so glad you found some fun things that caught your eye here!
The pattern is so elegant. I really love the design. When I first saw the picture I thought it was a hat. Have you thought about a hat pattern?
Thank you, Christine! I have thought about a hat, but still need to work out a few details so it is a good matching set. Maybe later this winter or early spring!
