Tulle + Crochet? Yes please.
I still had the bug and felt the need to play with tulle again.
Tulle often brings to mind ballet skirts, weddings, and fairies… but it really is so much more than that. And if you’re thinking of the old-style tulle with that stiff, scratchy feel, I promise this is different. Soft tulle is light, drapey, and surprisingly easy to work with — and it adds such a unique touch to crochet.
This is my second venture into using tulle alongside yarn, and I absolutely love the result.
The finished piece is a unique neck warmer collar that works up quickly and makes a real statement. It’s a super fast make and can easily be sized up or down depending on how you like the fit. Definitely one for those who love to stand out a little.
For this design, I used multiple yarns held together to create a soft, textured fabric that still feels light and wearable. That said, it could also be made using a single yarn if you prefer to simplify it.

Yarn Notes
Yarns are held together as specified in the instructions. All yarns listed are required.
Yarn amounts are based on a 45-row neck warmer. Additional yarn will be required if you choose to make a larger size.

If you want, I can also add a closing paragraph that gently nudges them to join the members section + grab the code, without sounding salesy.
If you’d like to grab this one with a launch day discount, make sure you’re signed up as a free member. The promo code will be posted in the Members Section on release day and will be dated, so you’ll know exactly how long you have to use it.
I’ll still send out an email to let everyone know the pattern is live, but instead of including the code in the email, you’ll need to pop over to the website and log in to access it. It’s a small change, but it helps support my website and keeps it worthwhile for me to keep designing new patterns.
And while you’re there, take a look through the free patterns too. I’m slowly giving them all a makeover and adding more as I go.
