I am very happy to have finally completed this beautiful neckerchief. Of course, I had to put my own finish on the pattern with a fabulous ruffle. I think it finishes it off very well. I had contemplated putting some beads in the final row . . . but was so anxious to get it off my hook I decided against it.
New Shawlette, Neckerchief, Scarf
The pattern is called Chakra Neckerchiefs, which I first posted about here:

I took some time out to crochet!
Here is where I got the inspiration for the final border design . . .
This is a very comprehensive book, with a ton of great designs.

And, the yarn . . . 
Rowan Wool Cotton 4 Ply
Rowan’s Wool Cotton 4 Ply is a wonderfully soft blend of 50% Merino Wool and 50% Cotton in a fingering weight. Like the heavier weight Wool Cotton, Wool Cotton 4 Ply features a high twist in the spinning which helps create knitted designs with a beautiful drape and great stitch definition. Made in Italy.

About gmaellenscraftycorner
I am married and mother of three wonderful children, G-Ma (Grandma) to seven beautiful grandchildren.
I work full time at a nearby grocer as the Pricing Coordinator, which can be a very very stressful (especially around the Holiday Season) but rewarding position.
In my spare time, I craft and blog. Crochet is my obsession, my compulsion. My best friend, my therapist. I also have learned I love to knit! Who knew??? I may never be a master knitter, but I am a happy knitter. :D
I finally decided in March of 2011 to try my hand at selling my crafty work on Etsy (www.etsy.com/shop/gmaellen) and . . . it takes a lot of focus and determination. And time.
During the fall and winter months, (actually on into spring as well) I take part in an organized women's pool league in my area. I have been playing pool on the league for about 35 years. For the past several years my lovely and talented daughter has been playing on my team as well. This makes me very happy. My husband and sons play on the men's league as well so we are a pool playin' family! The family that plays together, stays together!
Work, family, pool and crafting and blogging. Pretty much takes up every waking minute of every day, but besides that I love movies and music (which I can enjoy while I am crafting!). And here I thought I didn't have a life!
Thank you so much for taking the time to visit my blog. I appreciate every click. :D
Looks fabulous. I start lots of things but it does add variety to crocheting.I like the sound of the Rowan cotton and wool blend in 4ply and will look out for that one.
Thanks! I am pretty sure at all times I must have at least 3 or 4 things going because I hate being bored, but I have to keep busy!
I believe I must have gotten a heck of a deal on this fabulous yarn. From Craftsy.com I think, otherwise there is no way I would be working with yarn that costs over $10.00 per skein! (I am a bargain hunting fool, thus, a yarn stash that I will never, ever use up. *sigh*)
Very pretty
love the added ruffle. Finishes it off beautifully!
Thank you! I thought so too.
A great addition. I love that book of edgings although I wish that the samples had been properly blocked before the photographs!!
Yes, the ruffle is very feminine. It’s not always easy to find a book of edging designs, is it! Love yours. Also love the colour of the neckerchief. Very pretty.
Thank you! I just sort of flipped the book open and picked the first one I liked. Mostly because I was so anxious to get this thing finished. I am terrible at making decisions, so I knew I just had to PICK real QUICK.
I am happy with the way it turned out.
