Timeless Crochet Elegance

Ribbons and Grace Free Crochet Neck Warmer Pattern

Who else will you inspire?

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 crochet pattern 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.

The cowl uses easy stitches in new ways to create an elegant accessory. You will need to be familiar with single crochet, half double crochet, and double crochet to complete this project. Take the lace edging one comma at a time if you feel overwhelmed by the project.

    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.

    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!
