Another turtleneck collar with ruffles in an old-fashioned style, inspired by high-fashion from the Victorian Age. This time my crochet adventures led me to work into back, front and third loops of the stitches. The outstanding pattern for a neckwarmer is created by using textured stitches and all-time ruffles around the shoulders.

Barbara Crochet Neckwarmer is made from Worsted yarn, using about 100-110g of yarn for the medium size which makes it a perfect one-skein project!

The pattern features the tutorial for a one-size collar, but in case you like to make it wider, you find the instructions inside. The collar is crocheted as a one-piece, seamed at the neck with a slip stitch seaming.
