Cravat

[new2crochet]

Here is a pic of the cravat I made from One Skein by Leigh Radford. I used Baby Bee Dreamy Baby Chenille Yarn in sunkisses. I need to take care of the ends.

ok that is so pretty I love all the curves an how it lays on your neck.

I must admit I had to look up the word "Cravat" on dictionary.com and for others who didn't know what that word meant here is what I found:

 

cra·vat (kr-vt) Pronunciation Key

n. A scarf or band of fabric worn around the neck as a tie.

 

[French cravate, necktie worn by Croatian mercenaries in the service of France, from Cravate, a Croatian, from German dialectal Krabate, from Serbo-Croatian Hrvt.]

 

Thanks for sharing. I learned something new today. Did you follow a pattern or did you make it up as you went along? I am never amazed at what different types of crochet stuff I always see when I come here.

Kudos to you!

 

edited to add: i just this read this months issue of crochet me and now I see the entire article on the crochet cravat. excuse me while I have an "AH-HA MOMENT"

I used a pattern from One Skein by Leigh Radford. Actually with the yarn I used I had more than a skein left.
