Ribbed Neckwarmer
You will need:
2 - 50g skeins or balls of worsted weight wool (or fiber of your choice)
2 buttons, approx 2cm or 3/4 " across (or slightly larger)
5.5mm crochet hook
stitches used:
ch = chain
sc = single crochet
DC or dc = double crochet
FPDC or fpdc = front post double crochet
BPDC or bpdc = back post double crochet
ridge stitches = the vertical line of stitches being created by alternate fpdc and bpdc
NOTE: turning chain does not count as a stitch
ch17, turn.
row 1: sc in second ch, sc across (16sc)
row 2: ch 1, turn. sc across (16sc)
repeat above row 17 more times, or until approximately square. continue to row A.
Row A: ch3, turn. DC across (16 dc)
Row B: ch3, turn. (FPDC in first stitch, dc in next stitch.) repeat across. note: this is your front side
Row C: ch3, turn. (BPDC in last rows fpdc, dc in same stitch, dc in next dc. ) repeat across, ending with BPDC in last fpdc, Dc in turning chain. (8 fp/bp ridges, each with 2dc between, 1 turning-ch/dc at each end)
row D: ch3, turn. Fpdc in ridge stitches, dc in dc across.
row E: ch3, turn. bpdc in (sunken) ridge stitches, dc in dc across.
Repeat rows D and E until ridged section is 15 1/2" long from row A to your working edge (adjust as necessary, but please finish on row E) If you have a very thick neck or like a very loose neckwarmer, work two extra rows at this point.
row F: ch3, turn. (FPDC in ridged stitch, dc2tog) repeat across, ending with fpdc in last ridged stitch, dc in previous turning chain.
row G: ch3, turn. (BPDC in ridged stitch, dc in dc) repeat across, (ending with dc in previous turning ch.)
row H: ch3, turn. (fpdc in ridged stitch, dc in dc) repeat across.
row I: ch1, turn. sc across.
repeat row I 3 more times
Row J: ch1, turn. sc in next 2 sc, ch 3 , skip next 3 sc, sc in next 4 sc, ch3, skip next 3sc, sc in last 3 sts. (two buttonholes made)
Repeat row I, working into chain stitches when necessary for 4 more rows.
Finish off, working in ends where necessary.
test-fit to determine button placement. stitch on buttons as desired.
as the sc portions tend to curl at the edge, a gentle wet blocking is suggested.
good luck everyone!
from one Goddess sister to another - thank you so much for the pattern. I've already got a lot on my to-do list but when I saw this on Ravelry (I'm Katybug on there) I just had to add another pattern to my list.
ReplyDeleteglad to hear it :D
ReplyDeleteit works up very quickly, so it's a fun project to try when you want something to do and don't have too much time to do it in!
