Neck Warmers for him or her....

I have been super busy creating so many things and I am finally back up to write you something about them.

I started crocheting these cool neck warmers (or some call them cowls).  I actually made them for my husband ...he was saying he didn't want to wear a bulky scarf to shovel snow.  So I saw something similar to this on Pinterest .  Once I measured, took apart, measured again (for my husband LOL) I finally got the hang of how to make these (my version that is).

I crochet these with soft acrylic yarn and of course these are UNISEX which I totally love!  They have the perfect stretch to it so it will fit a guy or a girl. 

This neck warmer honestly didn't take a lot of yarn which was great for the leftover yarn I still had around I will recommend always to machine wash and dry (follow the instructions on the skein of yarn you use).

Crochet Shawls

Crochet Shawl by Yolanda's Creations

Depending on your choice of style, this self-shaping rectangle shawl can be worked thick and warm for winter or delicate and lacy for a summer evening.  I started making these when I just feel in love with the way they could be worn and how they felt wrapped around me.

I have made others in the similar style but different colors and yarn.  Most of mine will measure approximately 52Lx14W.  It definitely will and can take about 5-6 skeins of yarn.

Depending on the yarn type you to make your shawl I would say not to machine dry.  You definitely can machine wash it in cold water and line dry or if you prefer the drier put it in for a very short period.


I also would dress it up with a wooden shawl pin.  All of mine I purchased at Lion Brand Yarn.  You can get them pretty much anywhere but I liked the ones I saw here and got most of mine from LB.

You can add fringes at the ends if you want to add more character to your shawls…my next one will have those (currently my ponchos all have fringes).

These are perfect for gifts as well.  It’s simple and practical and just pretty!

Crochet Hat and Scarf sets

Hat/Scarf set by Yolanda's Creations

So I know when I go to a store and I see a hat and scarf set I see mostly knitted (factory knitted) sets.  I wish I would see more crochet sets.  I say this because I feel it would give customers more of choice in style from a crocheting perspective.  But hey it’s ok more room for me to make my own …right? You know my mother knits and crochets and no matter how much I want to I never do it…knit! I find it too difficult to hold my knitting needles.

Anyway here I am showing you a few of my sets that I have enjoyed making in the past and recently.  I also make the crochet fingerless gloves as well to go with them if people request them when they order from me.  But for the most part I just do the hat and scarf set.

My creations are made with 100% acrylic yarn that I have purchased at AC Moore or Michaels.   I add fringes on some and most I don’t.  I also start working on my sets more or less around summer time to have them ready by mid-September just in time for the fall.  I would say for me to make one set it would take me (non-stop) about 1 week and depending on how long you want your scarf and/or how wide or long you want you hat I would say make sure you have at least 3-4 skeins of yarn.  I can tell you for the two I am showing here it took 3. 

Here’s my message to you…keep me in mind when the weather gets cold, look for one of my creations that will keep you warm and trendy and it’s crochet.

My cold weather hat and scarf sets will keep you warm and ensure you look stylish even as the temperature get a bid too much to handle (burrrr … cold).  My sets are machine washable and I prefer to line dry my hats .

Crochet Boot Cuffs...accessorize your boots!

Awhile back I wrote about my crochet boot cuffs.  So I have some more to show you.  As I had mentioned before that I had seen these in a store  and of course I had to make some for myself.

Boot Cuff by Yolanda's Creations

These here you can make them a bit longer to cover some of your calf like a leg warmer.  However depending on the width of your calf I would just stick to making them as a cuff to show it off on the top of your boot.  I tell you this is a great idea ..again you can use left over yarn that will be enough to make a pair.

Measure your calf around to make sure you are going to give yourself enough of a stretch when you put them on if you don’t they will be too tight.

So I crochet a simple single crochet til I get about 2 inches wide (this part you don't see it's covered inside the boot) and then I did a cluster crochet stitch (appx 18 rows of this) which is the part you see outside of the boot.  Both cuffs I used acrylic yarn from Red Heart of which I purchased at AC Moore.

Make these in any color yarn you like.  Again, I used leftover yarn that actually would give enough to make a pair and if not hey by all means use a new skein of yarn that is perfectly fine too.


Enjoy making these and sharing them with friends for the holidays.
