I had one skein of soft pink yarn (for which I no longer have the information about) and decided to make this for my mother. She's always cold and we found that wrapping her neck keeps her entire body warmer.
The design for this neck warmer was inspired by a pattern I can't find right now, probably by Vogue's Knitting in a book called Crocheted Scarves On The Go
I improvised the heart button for a closure in order to keep the warmer in place - not that Mom is very active or anything, but once in a while one of the kittens will climb up onto her shoulder and wrap itself around her neck and underneath her hair. Too bad they don't stay there long, I wouldn't have had to make this for Mom, the kittens would keep her warm like that. lol.
Mom loves this one but only uses it for special occasions, thinking it's too fancy to wear to the store or hair salon. lol.
Here's a photo of Mom, she's 83 and absolutely lovely, isn't she?

I hope to be as lovely at any age! I noticed her beaded rope. Anything you might have made? LeslieAnnapa
Hi, I only wish I could say I made that beaded rope! Actually, my Grandmother made it, she made several for the ladies in our family. She was a very talented and patient - I might add - crocheter and maker of all things crafty. I cherish the wonderful things I still have that my Grandma Rupp gave us. I am sorry to say that the beautiful, lovely lady in this photo has since passed on to be with my father in Heaven on Oct. 27, 2011.
