Here is my very first Tunisian simple stitched neck warmer! This is a small item that is great to practice your Tunisian stitches on. If you don’t know how to crochet Tunisian simple stitches, here is a Tunisian simple stitch tutorial that shows you how. The basic idea of this neck warmer is to start with a chain that is as wide as you want your neck warmer to be, then start making rows and rows or Tunisian simple stitches to make it as long as you want it.

    You look beautiful in your new neck warmer! 🙂

    Thanks for sharing the pattern. I like how you made the buttons.

    I am glad I can use my regular hook to learn Tunisian crochet with and for smaller projects. Have a great weekend Rachel!

  2. Rachel says:

    Thanks Michelle! I was going to buy buttons but figured I would make them instead 🙂 have a great weekend also Michelle!

  3. Erika says:

    Hi

    I am enjoying your newsletter and all of your patterns. Just encase you do not have enough to do (smile), I have a suggestion. Do you know how to make expressive eyes for toys and dolls? I make these for a charity and have trouble with the eyes, they are either bulky or scary, too big or too small. thanks

    Hello,
    I love the neck warmer I think it’s super creative! I was wondering did the medium weight yarn mean that you used worsted weight yarn????

  7. Jarriel says:

    Thank you sooo much! And keep up the amazing work on this site! I love it!

    I am wondering where I can purchase a Tunisian crochet hook? All of my hooks have that big bump in the middle.

  9. arwin says:

    oh….I’ve checked out Michael’s but the one’s in Canada all have the bump, as well as Walmart & Zellers, we don’t have a Hobby Lobby, & its a 4.5 hr drive to the USA from my house! a wee bit far to go for a crochet hook!

    • Rachel says:

      Hi Arwin, try searching online. But Michaels should have Tunisian hooks, they are longer than regular crochet hooks. Or you can get the type that has a flexible tubing attached to the end.

    Thanks so much for this pattern. I wanted to learn tunisian stitch and this was great for that. I used a regular crochet hook and 3 different colors. I made mine bigger with regular buttons (too lazy to make them) and single crochet around the edge.

  11. Rachel. That looks great. The crocheted buttons is a nice finishing touch. Keep up the great work you are doing with the site. It is very interesting. I never know what I’ll find here but its usually interesting (like the Wall Street bull with the crocheted outfit – lol).

    Rachel, I am new to Tunisian crochet and hope this is a nice simple project to start with. I’ve been doing some practicing before starting anything ‘real’ and my work has been curling up. Am I doing something wrong?
