The Chrissy Neck Warmer is inspired by one of my knit and crochet combined patterns: the Ellen Turtle-neck-lace. I’ve had the Fiber Optics yarn for a few years and just couldn’t decide what to make with it. Then when I got these awesome beads from Bead Biz, I suddenly knew what to do! I’m quite happy with the finished result, and I’m sure you will be too!

What size are the beads that you used? Are they like a pony bead?
Size 6/0 beads, not pony beads.
I am having trouble with the gauge. I am using a fingering yarn from my stash , but with an F hook only 14 stitches make 4″. Even with a smaller hook it will not reduce the size by that much.
I love the pattern, but don’t want to start it until this is cleaed up.
Thank you Jessie.
Are you crocheting the gauge in post stitch rib? It’s the stitch pattern in rows 1-9.
