Today it's holiday in my region. As my daughter lost her neck warmer recently and it's getting colder and colder, I decided to make one. We looked in my leftover fabric box and found the bike printed fabric, which I used for my daughter and my partner's best friends' baby. My partner, who was a former professional runner asked me to use this bike printed fabric as his friends are athletes too and the papa rides bike during iron men competitions.
When we were looking for fabric, we opened my yarn box and found my daughter's baby time blanket. I was knitting it few years ago around this time of the year while we were waiting for delivery. I picked an organic yarn dyed with plants wishing my daughter grows up in close contact with nature and is friendly to the environment.
I cut the blanket before to make a neck warmer for my daughter as it is the blanket is too small for her. Half of the blanket was there as if waiting for me to make another neck warmer.
Then the two fabrics packed with memory were combined as a neck warmer.
Sewing itself was quite easy going. First I make a tube with two fabrics and close them one side from inside. Then sew the opened part together. I do the same when I sew a head band. (Excuse me for the messy hand drawing!)
The neck warmer is packed with our wishes; being friendly to the environment from me and enjoy sport from my partner. I wish she enjoy wearing it 🚲🌲
That's my Needle Work Wednesday. I'm happy that I can share this story here in Needle Work Monday community 😊I must have some work ready on Monday ...
私の住んでいる州は今日はお休みです。最近子どもがネックウォーマーをなくしてしまい、ますます寒くなってきたので、ひとつ縫うことにしました。端切れの箱を子どもと一緒に覗いてみると、子どものシャツと相方の親友カップルの赤ちゃんのズボンに使った自転車のプリント生地がありました。
生地を探しているときに、毛糸の箱を開けたら子どもが赤ちゃんのときのブランケットが出てきました。数年前のこの時期に、子どもが生まれるのを待ちながら編んだものです。自然に囲まれて育ち、環境に優しい子になるといいなと思って、植物で染めたオーガニックの毛糸を選んだのを覚えています。懐かしいなあ！
このブランケットは、赤ちゃんサイズで小さすぎたので、すでに数年前に子どものネックウォーマーを作るためにハサミを入れていました。ブランケットの残り半分は、ネックウォーマーになるのを待っていたのかな。
かくして環境に優しくなるようにという私の願いと、元プロの陸上選手だった相方のスポーツを楽しむようにという願い（怨念??? www）が込められたネックウォーマーができあがったのでした。
子どもも気に入っているようでぬくぬく外遊びのおともになってくれるといいな！

Oh wow that’s so awesome that you still had some of her baby blanket available to use. I love that you put those two significant materials together to make such a cute and nice neck warmer. Thanks for sharing with us ~ 😘
Thank you too for letting me sharing the story to Needle Work Monday 😊It was a good and busy old time when I was using the blanket. That's nice everything turned to be beautiful memories!
Wow it really fits her so well thanks for sharing
Thanks @smilestitches! It’s totally a winter outlook for kids here 😉
Ohhhh great
I love the leaf pattern on the baby blanket part! I want to try knitting something like that now.
It looks very cozy and warm! :)

You can find the pattern on Raverly 😊 I have mine on needles for years ………. 🧶

Her smile is so cute🤭🤭 the neck warmer fits her perfectly.
Thanks blezyn. Ya, it’s a totally good mood kid’s smile 😁
The leaf pattern is so lovely and combining two materials and infusing them with your good wishes makes the perfect cozy neckwarmer.
But how you got these tubes together… 😧 I always have problems to understand how things turn and wrap and fold, perhaps this is the reason why sewing is still complicated for me 🤯
I understand it’s complicated. I make a sketch in advance, simulate with the fabrics I use and even I make mistake 😂 I’ll take step by step photos next time for you and me 😁
