The instruction for a cardigan with a loop collar made of chain stitches and a single ravel of fluffy wool inspired me to make these foolproof loops. The chains are finger crocheted<\/a> because that makes them fluffy and you don’t even need a crochet hook. The wool that works best should be rather thick, fluffy or fringy. Make a long string of chain stitches out of the whole ball. Chose a book as large as the diameter of your loop should be, at least 26 inches for adults and for children a bit less. Simply take one end of your chain around your neck to find the necessary length to be taken off easily. Then twist the crocheted chain carefully around your book until only 10-12 inches are left over. Make a knot with both ends and then twist them around your loop until depleted. Fix it with a few stitches of sewing thread. This way your loop is fixed and can’t fall apart any more.
\nThese loops are wonderful for in- and outdoors and I’m a proud owner of several of these. We did them with 6-10 years old children too and they’re always happy to wear what they’ve done with their own hands.
\nIf you didn’t wear them for some time simply grab their knot and shake them a once or twice. They’ll be all fluffy again.<\/p>\n
