Crochet necklace

So I'm calling this a necklace because it's not thick nor warm enough to be called a scarf.  So the idea for this necklace came from seeing so many of those cute t-shirt scarves, but being too cheap to cut up a perfectly good t-shirt to make a scarf.  And by a perfectly good t-shirt I mean not already ripped to shreds. Am I right? Or am I right?

After thinking I could crochet one I googled (or rather "Pinterest-Ed") it and found several patterns. All called for bulky weight yarn which I did not have. So what is an impatient, frugal girl to do? Write her own pattern of course!

So here goes...

Yarn: Caron Simply Soft

Hook: 6.5mm

Holding 2 strands together (if you don't have 2 balls, pull from the middle and outside at the same time) chain 1125.  Yes, that's right 1125.

Join with a slip stitch to first chain. Tie off tightly. Loop this chain around your neck like you would a really long necklace to make several strands.  You should have approximately 7-9 loops. Lay looped chain aside.
Holding both strands together again, make a slip knot. Chain 7.

Sc into 2nd chain from the hook.

Sc into each remaining ch.

Ch 1 to turn sc across row.

Repeat these steps until you have a piece of fabric about 5 inches long.

Now wrap this single crocheted piece of fabric around the looped chain where you tied off the chain.

To stitch the piece of fabric around your loops you will insert your hook into both edges of the fabric at a time and slip stitch along the length of the edge. Bind off and weave in ends.

Happy Crocheting!
