I made this with the thrift store find mohair yarn I got for $2 I have enough yarn to make about 2 more of these!

It's very pretty. What a bargain too. I for one would love to see a better picture of your collar. Looks like you did a pretty intricate pattern and I would love to see the detail.

. I for one would love to see a better picture of your collar.

THANKS!:manyheart
It's just a simple pineapple edging, easy to do, only looks hard. I don't even use a pattern for it.

:cheer Your thingy came out very pretty. I was lol when I read that you called it a thingy. My son calls them thingys too. I like the stitch you used for the body. Between the yarn and the stitch it resembles knit. Gorgeous Donna

That is so so wonderful, it looks really soft. I wish you wrote down a pattern or something, I would so love to make one....I'd even buy the pattern!:yay :)

[Kathleen]

What stitch did you use for the body?

First of all, thanks everyone!

The stitch for the body is a plain old single crochet.

[sleevelessinsu]

OMG that's *gorgeous*! I love the color and what a great deal on the mohair. It'll be such fun to wear. I can't wait to start one of these for myself. I'm just drooling over everyone else's. :lol

[Chiscrochetcrazy]

Pretty love the color :cheer

[lilhatshack]

Awesome - love the pink!

[summerysmile]

That is really pretty!
Did you use the "shrug schematics" that were posted on this site to make that or did you make the pattern up yourself?

[mythunderbird]

[Kathleen]

Thanks everyone. I just sort of winged the pattern from all the other's I've seen on the site, didn't really use any one shrug but all for inspiration. Maybe if I make another one I'll write it down. I am kind of a lazy girl when it comes to tedious stuff like that, but I'll try.


You are all AWESOME!! LOVE THIS BOARD!

[TepperWear]

THANKS!:manyheart

okay, that cracked me up. :rofl Just a simple pineapple edging. There is nothing simple about that. Thanks so much for adding the pictures. I really enjoyed seeing that.

[The Fargoan]

It's gorgeous! Great job.

[MsSunflwr]

Beautiful, I love the yarn too.

[Janabear]

[Kathleen]

Thanks so much for adding the pictures. I really enjoyed seeing that.

YQW... LOL.. I suppose I just have been doing this edging it seems simple. I put it on everything.. towels, tops, curtains etc.. I suppose my family is sick of it, but it is pretty, isn't it?

[Angelhair]

OMG! This is the most beautiful thingy I've ever seen! Please please write up the pattern!:yay What a great thrift store find too! You've done a great job!:cheer

Hey, you find something that works, stick with it. I know I do.

[kat]

[Terri/LadySorce]

WOW.. very nice.. Great color too

[jaclim]

beautiful!

[Kathleen]

Once again.. thanks for all the lovely compliments. That's why I love this place. Compliments from fellow crocheters are far more wonderful than those of non crocheters because FC know what goes into a piece.

Thanks again everyone!

[Woven N Spun]

very nicely done

[LanetteG]

LOVE IT!!!:clap

[summerysmile]

If you do, I'd definately love to have it. My daughter has a store bought "thingy" like this which she LOVES! (She's 8) She wants to wear it everywhere! I want to try to make one but I bombed when I tried to use the shrug schematics with the ruffle and stuff posted somewhere else on here. I guess I just need more specific instructions since I've only been crocheting since Oct. If I ever find a pattern for something like this it will definately go on my "to do" list!!
Yours is lovely!!

[moonrhythm]

very pretty in pink* i love the sleeves. nice job.

[NancyCA]

I LOVE THIS! Can you share your pattern? I guess I should look through the rest of the postings first to see if you did that already. huh? haha

Congrats on a pretty shrug!:hook

[dogymom]

Gorgeous, simply gorgeous! Everyone needs a gorgeous thingie like that!!! In several colors. Great job:hook

[Kathleen]
