One Way or Another is a multi-option pattern. Choose from a cowl, necktie or scarf. Choose a luxurious floofy lace weight yarn or a special skein of 4ply. Choose to make the size you want. It’s all covered within the pattern.

With a simple two-row stitch repeat, you will be able to mindfully crochet any number of neckwear projects.

A simple border is added, to bring a little finesse to the row ends. Using a simple weight percentage calculation, you can work out how much yarn is needed. The border requires up to 10% of the weight all of the neckwear patterns. <<< This is what makes it perfect for handspun yarns. You can use up every last drop of your precious yarn.
