My friend, Sweet Sheri, sent me a link to this pattern, calling it a summer scarf rather than the ‘Floral Necklace’ that Red Heart identifies it as on their free pattern site.
It’s not something I would wear for a number of reasons – mainly that I have no neck. Age and nature have deprived me of what little length of neck I once had. This brought to mind my question for you. Would you wear this? If so, when – on what occasion or with what garment(s)?
While I find it attractive, I think it’s entirely impractical. Maybe I’m being a curmudgeon. What do you say?? Please post a Yea of Nay in the Comments section below. If a Yea – how and when would you see yourself (or someone else you’d make it for) wear it?
Shari Harniss says
Nay. Looks like something made to go with a costume.
merlanne says
Yea , why not? I find it very chic an would wear it as a “summer scarf” on a warm summer evening. Perhaps not in pink, but in blue or green.
Barbara says
No, not my style. BUT with a bit of tweaking… I think just one of those big rounders. They were correct to have an odd number according to art lessons. So which one? The one at the top? or one on the hanging bits?
Linda G says
Sorry, too much of everything. It’s obviously something designed as a reach.
Michelle says
I made it, in those colours, and posted the final article on Ravelry. It’s basically what I wear instead of a scarf.

Good to know. Thanks, Michelle.

I think it’s cute! I’d probably do it up in a navy or red and then pair it with a white t-shirt and blue jeans with some cute espradilles.
Lynnette says
I plan to make it for my granddaughters. They are 6 and 4 years old.
Sheri *¿* says
I would. And I am NOT a scarf wearer. How Do I explain under a collar, not tied, Have color put into it… It is Pretty!
Sheri *¿* says
My daughter said that it looked like a Cat Lure… B

Nay! Too cluttered.
G J Amber says
Nay. It is lovely but I would not be comfortable wearing it.
Patricia Steeves says
I guess I am a curmudgen too, because uh uh no way I would wear that.
Merry Chapman says
It is waaaaay to busy for me, so I showed my daughters who are 29,35 and 38 and they all said the same, way tooo much for them, but my daughter with a 5 year old said maybe she would wear it for a fun accessory.
Bonnie Jean says
Um, No. I do not like to be the center of attention and I feel that this necklace, that is almost gaudy, would stick out like a sore thumb on me. I am not 100% sure that the model shown is happy about wearing it either. 🙂
Tabitha Mori says
It isn’t something I would wear.
I do wear scarves but in the
summer they tend to be of the fabric
type.
Carolyn Geoffrey says
No, I would never wear a scarf such as this. To me, it looks like an overdone curtain tie back..LOL
Christena says
No, too busy for me. It looks like it would just be in the way every time I moved. I think there are too many shapes/objects going on there. The ends do look like they would make a nice cat toy.
Toni says
Love it. I can also see my two granddaughters wearing the scarf/necklace.
Jo says
I would wear it, it is lovely
Susan says
no,not my style
Dianna says
No not my style at all
Faye says
nope,defintely not for me !…..
Tina says
I would not wear this. It is not my type of style
Mary says
it’s a bit busy for me asa ncklace, possibly as a scarf
Jacqueline Steffen says
Nay… Overdone. Impractical. Strangler….
However, elements of it could be used on their own..
germaine says
definitely, I would wear it! not just on special occasions tho. Every day is a special day!
Ann says
No way in this world would I wear this thing. It’s hideous.
Cathrin says
Definitely NOT
