I joined a holiday season marathon last year. Who kept me company? My crochet needle, yarn and me! :) Well, it was a crochet marathon featured in my blog post entitled, "Holiday Season
Crochet Marathon Part 3." In this post, I
featured some crochet projects which I gave away as gifts. Among the gifts I gave away was the "Retro Neck
Band in Manos Silk Blend."
I found the 4-step pattern for this nice and snug neck
band from Ravelry
as a free download. Very simple and easy-to-make, this neck band could provide
warmth during cold weather.
Here is what I made
using variegated yarn. I found a stone from an old bracelet and fastened it as button.
Here's how the original Retro Neck Band by Ann Linderhjelm looks like.
Well, what are you waiting for? Why don't you try making one yourself?
