Hello everyone, in today's tutorial we will do this neck warmer, using the Tunisian crochet technique
this neck warmer is very easy to do
we will work a long strip,
as if we wanted to make a scarf
later in the tutorial I teach you how to sew
the flaps of the "scarf",
so that it looks closed by the buttons
in reality the two parts are sewn
and the buttons are only decorative
alternatively, if you do not like the idea of the buttons,
you can simply sew the two parts, and you'll get a ring
With the strip that I have woven (130/140 cm long) you can make 2 wide turns around the neck
if you don't know the Tunisian crochet, don't worry,
in the tutorial I'll explain everything step by step
but if you want, in my channel you will find the basic course, of Tunisian crochet,
you can find the link in the information box, and in the upper right corner
I also explain how to choose the thickness of the crochet, to get a very soft result like this
with the Tunisian crochet we not only get stiff but also soft fabrics, like this one
To make this neck warmer,
we use the honeycomb stitch
this stitch is very easy to weave,
which creates this design
it is not reversible, like all the Tunisian crochet stitches
but the back is still very beautiful
we need:
a thick wool yarn (about 150g), to be used with a 7 or 8mm crochet hook
9mm Tunisian crochet hook
scissors, woolen needle and 3 buttons
I used this yarn
on the label we recommend 7 or 8mm knitting needles
and I used a 9mm Tunisian crochet hook
but you can use any yarn you like
for my neck warmer I started with 26 chains
and I got a height of about 23 / 24cm
as I told you, I used a 9mm crochet hook
I suggest you make some samples,
using your yarn and the crochet thicknesses you think can serve
to check what is the thickness of crochet just for that yarn and for your way of weaving,
in this way you will get the softness you want
that is, it is soft, but does not have large holes
let's start with a slip knot
and we weave the foundation chains
for the honeycomb point the chains must be an even number
I weave 26 chains
you weave the even number of chains, which you need to get the height you want for your neck warmer
you weave the foundation chains a little broad
now that the chains are woven we weave the 1st row
we start from the 2nd chain from the hook,
and we weave in the thread that is behind the chains
in this "hump"
we insert the crochet hook and pull up a loop
in this way we put the stitches on the hook
if you have doubts, you can see the tutorials of the basic course
when all the stitches are on the crochet
we weave the return row
for the 1st stitch:
yarnover and pass through 1 loop
for all other stitches yarnover
and pass through 2 loop
pass through 2 loop
and so on until you have only 1 loop in the crochet
this is the 1st row completed
26 points in total, including edge points,
1st and last
now let's see how to weave the 2 rows that we will repeat,
until we reach the desired length of the neck warmer
I remind you that the 1st and the last stitch,
we always weave as we have learned,
are never part of the repetition
we start the 1st row of the honeycomb stitch,
the 1st of the 2 rows that we will repeat
the 1st point is already on the hook, as we know
so let's start from the 2nd stitch
in this vertical bar we weave
1 Tunisian reverse stitch (Trs)
we bring the crochet hook behind the yarn
let the crochet pass under the vertical bar
we bring the yarn in front
and we block it with our finger
yarnover and pull through the vertical bar
this is the Tunisian reverse stitch (Trs)
in the next stitch we weave 1 Tunisian simple stitch (Tss)
we insert the crochet hook under the vertical bar,
and bring out the yarn
and repeat 1Trs, 1Tss
so 1Trs
1Tss
and repeat 1Trs, 1Tss
we repeat the sequence (1Trs, 1Tss)
up to the penultimate stitch of the row
when we reach the last stitch
we weave the stitch of the edge,
inserting the crochet hook under the vertical bar
and also under the thread at the back
bring out the yarn
in this way
let's weave the last stitch always like this
whatever the type of stitch we have woven before
the stitch of the edge (the last one) is independent of the type of stitch we are weaving in the row
we always weave it like that
now we are weaving the return row
as we have learned, for the 1st stitch,
yarnover and pull through only 1 loop
instead, for all the other stitches
yarnover and pull through 2 loops
pull through 2 loops
let's continue like this until you have only 1 loop on the hook
so the 1st row of the honeycomb stitch is complete
in the 2nd row of the honeycomb stitch,
invert the stitch below
so if in the previous row, we started with a Tunisian reverse stitch,
in this row we will start with a Tunisian simple stitch
so 1Tss
in next stitch we weave 1 Trs
then in the 2nd row of the honeycomb stitch, we invert the sequence
if the stitch of the previous row is 1Trs,
we weave 1Tss
and if the stitch of the previous row is 1Tss
we weave 1Trs
and repeat (1Tss, 1Trs)
up to the penultimate stitch of the row
we weave the last stitch
by inserting the crochet hook with 2 threads
yarnover and pull up a loop
regardless of what kind of stitch is the previous one
we weave the return row as before
yarnover and pull through 1 loop (for for the 1st stitch)
yarnover and pull through 2 loops (for all the other stitches)
when the 2nd row is complete
we just have to repeat these 2 rows until we reach
the length we want for our neck warmer
as you can see
the design of the honeycomb stitch begins to be visible
we learn to identify these stitches
the Tss and the Trs
in this way, if we were to lose the row count,
we would know how to "read" the stitches
the 1st stitch (the edge stitch)
as we have learned, is already on the hook
so let's start from the 2nd vertical bar,
this one
this is the 2nd stitch
on the row below we see another vertical bar
this means that here, in the previous row
we had woven a Tunisian simple stitch
n the next stitch we see a vertical bar
this thread
and below we see a kind of knot
this means that here, in the previous row
we had woven a Tunisian reverse stitch
in the next point we see 2 vertical bars,
one below the other
so this is a Tunisian simple stitch
here we see a knot, so this is 1 Trs
1Tss
1Trs and so on
so if you forget if you have to start the row
with 1Tss or 1Trs
I can check with what kind of stitch
I started the previous row
for example, in this case we had woven 1Tss,
so let's start the next row with 1Trs
repeat the 1st and 2nd row of the honeycomb stitch until you reach the desired length of the neck warmer
when we have reached the desired length,
we weave the row that ends the work
we insert hook under the vertical bar
and we weave a slst
and we repeat for the whole row
we weave these stitches a little broad
also in this case, for the last stitch
insert the crochet hook through 2 threads
ch1 and cut a long tail of yarn
we will use this tail of yarn to sew the 2 flaps
before sewing the neck warmer,
place and sew the buttons
insert a piece of yarn into a wool needle
and we make a double knot at one end
in the video I show you how to fix the yarn, so that it is firmly fixed
pull the yarn to make it slide to the end
in this way you are sure that the thread will always be fixed
now we sew the button
when the button is sewn we knot on the back and hide the thread
we sew all the buttons in the same way
and now we sew the neck warmer
overlap the beginning and end of the strip
in the position you prefer
check that the strip is not rolled up
fasten with pins
we put the work on the wrong side
and we sew with the long tail of yarn
you can sew on the last row of the work
or you can sew on the row of the foundation chains
or you can sew on the row where you sewed the buttons
I will sew on the row of buttons
so first of all, we bring the yarn from here to here
let the thread pass only on the back side of the work
up to where the first button is
here we knot to block the yarn
be careful not to deform the corner
now we sew with the back stitch
be careful to use only the threads of the back of the work
so the seam can not be seen on the straight side
look at the tutorial to understand how to sew,
explain better than words
on the piece below
we sew on the "blu humps" of the row
where we sewed the buttons
so we sew the whole row
until you reach the last button
up to here
in this way it seems that
the buttons are to close the strip
we knot and hide the yarn
we also hide the yarn of the foundation chains
if you want to hide woolen yarns,
you can use a pointed needle
so it will pass between the fibers of the wool
and the yarn tails will be hidden more firmly
in this way
the neck warmer is ready!
sewing as I taught you
on the straight side the seam is not seen
and on the reverse side you can hardly see
because my wool is of many colors,
otherwise you would not see it at all
as you can see, doing the seam on the row of buttons
and starting the seam from the first button
and coming only to the last button
it seems that the scarf is closed with buttons
if instead you prefer a more neat seam, you can sew on the edge of the last row
and our new neck warmer is ready
I'm in love with this neck warmer
I have already worn it, it is very soft and very warm
it can be a wonderful gift for us or for someone we love
this kind of stitch, in my opinion, is very relaxing
it is an extremely repetitive stitch
you can also weave it while watching TV,
or listening to music,
it does not require great concentration
I thank you for choosing to watch this tutorial
