It's summer here at the moment but we have had a few cold evenings lately. My husband and I happened to be out on the motorbike on one of these nights. Brr was my neck cold. I ended up with my husbands neck warmer on so he suffered on the way home and not me. Of course I felt bad so I decided to whip up my own neck warmer the next night.
I really like the fabric skull neck warmers they sell and I had come across a knit version a while back. I can knit but not as fast as I can crochet. I asked the designer back then if she minded me linking to her chart and she was fine with it. So I decided to incorporate it into my neck warmer. I choose pink because it matches my jacket and gloves.
To get the chart you will have to download this free pattern:
Size: Women's - 22 inches (55 cm)
To adjust the size.
Chain a length that fits snuggly around your nose, so mine was 80 + 1 for the turning ch. - 33 for the graph and ÷ the remaining stiches by 2. So mine was 23.5. Because you can't do half a stitch I changed it to 24 stitches worked at the start of the graph and 23 at the end.
To make the crochet version you will need:
4.5 mm crochet hook (or hook that matches gauge)
8 ply/dk yarn in pink and white
Yarn needle
Scissors
Tape measure
Gauge: 15 sc x 21 rows in 4 inches
Note: CH 1 does not count as a sc.
Pattern:
Row 1: CH 81, sc into the 2nd CH from the hook and in each CH across.
Row 2- 42: CH 1, turn, sc into the next 24 stitches, work chart, sc in the next 23 stitches. (80 sc)
Finish off leaving a 18 inch tail.
Bring the two short ends of the neck warmer together with the wrong side facing out. Whip stitch the ends together. Weave in remaining ends.

One of the most common reasons that people had when they visited our physical therapy center was to find relieve for neck pain, headaches and shoulder pain. It had to be determined what area did the pain first occur and then the usual questions of what their activities were during the day.how to use an inversion table for neck pain
ReplyDeleteAn interesting dialogue is price comment. I feel that it is best to write more on this matter, it may not be a taboo topic however usually individuals are not enough to talk on such topics. To the next. Cheers. chiropractic
