My house has a nice garden and in the summer is great to eat or entretain outside but paper napkins are a problem because they tend to fly away with the smallest wind.
This present was just perfect to prevent that problem and is the really easy. I have not done any crochet in a lot of years and saw this at a restaurant in Northern Brasil just knew I had to try to do it back home.

You have to knit a granny square the same size as your napkin then with back loops only you knit 2 rounds of double stitch,
Now you have something that resembles a square box.
You can make more rounds if you want to hold more napkings or do singlestitch if you want it more firm.
Thene you knit another granny square same size as the first and sew it on top. You start sewing it in the middle of one side, sew de next two sides completely and end in the middle of the last side.
Now you have one corner free as a flap. you pull it back until it reaches the center of your granny square and tie it there with a stitch, a button, a bow or any chosen accent.

Let me know if you´d like to see some pictures.

Thanks for all your pattens!!

I just uploaded a photo of the chart with more notes on it that I think might answer your question. Take a look at that and let me know if you're still confused. I'm happy to help!

Congrats! It should be sewed to create a big loop (no twists, just big flat loop). Then you can wrap it around your neck 2-3x depending on how loose you like it.

I am not sure how to wear it

I'm new on here and trying to wrap my brain around this beautiful Desert Winds Scarf. I'm not new to crochet but have never done a pattern like this and am having trouble getting started. On the turn chain crochets, when you say work an additional chain one and double crochet do you mean two together in one chain as in a normal increase, or just two crochets side by side without skipping a chain? The last ch1 and D.C. Seems to be done in the space of the turn chain?? If I could just get past this I think I'll be fine. Thanks!

Hey Anne,

You should get it within about 5-10 mins. It would have come from "I Love Knitting." If you don't find it in your spam or junk folders, please send me an email and I'll get it to you right away. Jess (at) makeanddocrew (dot) com.
