Crotchet body warmer

Lately I have been browsing Pintrest. It is an amazing resource of ideas 😀 On there I saw an amazing body warmer that I just fell in love with, and so I had to make it 😀 So I have been scouting for thread to make it with, but didn’t want to pay too much for it as it is just a sampler, and then suddenly it more-or-less fell in my lap. I found a jumper that had been damaged and I ripped it apart. 😀

The only advice I have before preparing to rip things apart is to check that it has been knitted to the right size not cut to the right size. If knitted you will be fine, but if not you will end up with numerous jumper length threads, which you will a lot of time connecting by tying knots 😀

I was lucky as mine was knitted, and so the thread came out one continuous length. I do like my balls of yarn!

I found a blog that had a pattern I liked. It is easy to follow and goes fast!

Here it is finished without back crocheted together

With the back I did only one chain stitch and then slip stitched it to the side.

All done and wearable 😀 I love it! Plus – it can be worn as a scarf too!
