ODE TO FALL NECKWARMER
Fall, is the very best season as far as I'm concerned. The colors, the warm days & cool nights. What to wear as the temperatures shift from cold in the early morning to hot in the late afternoon, to cool in the evening? A neck warmer of course! I hope that you will enjoy making this neckwarmer as much as I am. It is a very fast project, one can be finished in an evening.

PATTERN NOTES
. This neckwarmer is worn snuggly, if a roomier neckwarmer is wanted, use one size up for the finished measurements to allow for ease. · The beginning and the end of the neckwarmer will not match. That is normal because of the joining method to keep the central lattice lace pattern seamless. · Read the pattern through before beginning to understand where stitch patterns meld into the next. . Neckwarmer is worked in the round throughout. · ch-1, ch-2, ch-4 count as a stitch throughout the pattern. . When ending each of the lattice lace rounds, ch-1 and dc into beg ch-1 counts as a ch 3. · Sizes will be marked in brackets where needed. If there is no change, then instructions pertain to all 3 sizes.
