🌸 As Petals Fall – A Neck Warmer That Doesn’t Cling
I’ve never been a fan of anything tight around my neck. Even the thought of it makes me feel uncomfortable — so when I started designing the As Petals Fall Neck Warmer, I knew it needed to be loose, soft, and a little different from the usual cowl.
This design is intentionally relaxed in its fit, with a touch of whimsy in its lopsided shape. It doesn’t sit evenly, and it’s not meant to. Instead, it falls into place in its own way. I like things that are unique and a bit different — and I love flowers. As Petals Fall is just like me: slightly romantic, slightly off-centre, and absolutely intentionally unique.
What makes As Petals Fall different?
First — it’s not symmetrical. Symmetrical is boring. This neck warmer has just enough quirk to catch the eye, without being fussy.
Second — it’s tall. Perfect to snuggle into on those freezing days. The height stays the same across all five sizes (30 cm or 12 inches), so you get lovely coverage without it creeping up your face. The only thing that changes between sizes is the length — so whether you want a snugger fit or prefer a looser drape, you can simply size up or down.
There are five sizes: Extra Small through to Extra Large. I do recommend checking the measurements and gauge to find the size that suits you best.
Materials
I work with Bendigo Woollen Mills yarn quite a bit — it’s high-quality and super soft. This design uses Luxury 10 ply in the shades:
C1 – Koala (main colour)
C2 – Slate (contrast for edging/embellishment)
You’ll also need:
5mm crochet hook
Tapestry needle
Scissors
1 x 30mm button
A Few Final Thoughts
I loved designing this piece — for me, each design is an expression of who I am. I want to walk through life doing things I love… and I love things that are unique and a little bit different.
As Petals Fall is soft, gentle, and a little off-centre — kind of like me.
If you’re looking for something unique to wear (or gift), something a little romantic, a little textural, and a lot warm — I hope you’ll give this one a go.
