Easy as they come and nice to boot! If you are making little gifts to delight your friends for the Holidays, this one might qualify for your list! An added bonus is the little frog closure which you can easily learn to make and which will be very useful for many other things, such as purses, shoulder swraps, cardigans, you name it! Note- Because some of you were asking me questions about this neck warmer. I took out the previous pattern and remade it completely new. In a simpler format that is even easier than the first but has the same handsome results. (Please, do not ask for the previous pattern, it has been deleted!) Materials: Worsted weight yarn of your choice (I used Red Heart Claret for the neck warmer and a little bit of Red Heart Lipstick for the frog-style closure.) G hook tapestry needle button of your choice Aqua Bay Scarflet

You can make your closure in several ways, but let's try a simple one. Bend the crab stitch cord you just made in half, take the left leg of that bent cord and cross it over the right side leg, forming a loop, without undoing that loop, insert that same leg of cord into the center of the loop and pull gently, until you have a nice knot that looks almost like a Josephine knot, and two pieces of crab cord at both ends. You are going to bend those two pieces of cord and sew them with the tail you left, one upwards and one downwards, to form your frog. Then you will sew this to the neck warmer at a height that is comfortable to close it around the neck, using the small loops of the crab cord to anchor your stitches. Fasten off. Sew button opposite loop of the frog closure on the other side of the neck warmer. Fasten off. Note: Since this is a closure and it will pulled ever time the neckwarmer is used, sew your stitches firmly, not tight, but firm so that the pretty frog will not come apart. You're done! This pattern has been corrected. Thank you again, Margaret! Fire-ice-aiken, the pattern is simpler now!
