Crochet using a 4.5mm hook and Zara by Filatura di Crosa, but really gauge is no issue as long as you can get it around your neck! Chain 108 stitches (any number of stitches less one for foundation chain). Join in the round with a slip stitch in the first chain and don't twist the chain. Round 1: chain 3 (stands as first treble), then 1 treble into first chain made and continue to 1 treble in each chain in the round, skip the slip stitch join and then 1 slip stitch in third chain of 3 chain at the beginning of the round. Round 2: chain 3, 1 treble in first treble of previous round and continue...1 treble in each treble to end, skip slip stitch and then 1 slip stitch in third chain of 3 chain at the beginning of this round...continue round 2 until you've reached the desired length. Experiment. Try making it wider and folding it, use different gauge yarns, use a mix of double and treble crochet. Reference: "The Crochet Stitch Bible", Betty Barnden.
