It’s time to kick off Day 8 of the “Make it for Me” projects!  You’ve survived the holidays and now It’s Time for You!  For the entire month of January, I will bring you FREE patterns from amazing designers in the crochet industry.  One of the great parts of “Make it for Me” is the designer will tell you exactly what that project means to him/her and why it is considered perfect for you too! Take a few minutes to check it out and decide if this crochet pattern is the one that you’ll dedicate to make for yourself.  If this is your first time here, you can find out the details about how “Make it for Me” works HERE.  Be sure to scroll all the way down because I have an announcement of a local “Make it for Me” event in my home town!

Who doesn’t love a beautiful cowl that only uses ONE skein of yarn!  Dianne from Same DiNamics considered the cowl as the perfect “Make it for Me” project.  She said, “This One Skein Wonder Neck Warmer is extremely soft and lightweight. These are two of the reasons why I chose this particular pattern as my Make it for Me project. In addition, the yarn used for this project, Red Heart Stellar, gives the finished project a sense of elegance, no matter the color you choose. The construction of the neck warmer is tubular in design yet wide enough so that I can comfortably fit it over my head. Once it’s on, it lays on my shoulders without me having to fuss with it; it just falls fashionably and in place. It is an incredibly warm piece yet light and airy enough where it’s not suffocating and causes overheating. I can definitely wear it as an accent piece for fashion, and as a functional piece to keep me warm on cold days.”
