Crochet a Jeweled Neck Warmer

This jeweled neck warmer doesn't have any buttons on it, but it was inspired by a stoll through the button aisle at my local JoAnn craft store. I was enthralled by a two-part jeweled closure I found there amidst all the buttons. I thought the closure looked like jewelry, with its subtly sparkly faux gems, but it could have been used in so many different ways. I had a hard time deciding what to make, but decided in the end to go with this neck warmer.

I would also love to try turning this type of closure into actual jewelry, like maybe a beaded crochet necklace with little pearls...

I'm pretty happy with how the neck warmer turned out. For one thing, crochet projects don't get much simpler than this one is; it's made using basic stitches and is easy enough for a total beginner who's never crocheted before.

Also, I love the cheerful red color, and I'll be excited to wear it with my fall / winter coat, which is black wool; my mostly-black wardrobe could use a jolt of color, and this is just what I needed. Of course, if you'd like to crochet one of these neck warmers, please feel free to make it in a different color if you prefer. I've included the free crochet pattern on our website, and I invite you to give it a try if you'd like.

These make quick gifts; you could make one for each of the ladies on your fall / winter birthday or holiday gift list.
