I took a small break from commissioned work last night in order to crochet this adorable lariat. It's from a pattern in this month's The Knitter magazine and as soon as I saw it I knew I wanted one. It is extremely easy to make, just endless repetitions of the simple petal motif with chain in between - I think the finished length was about 3 metres. Then just tie the ends together and loop it around your neck a few times. I just know I will wear this a great deal and I think I would like one in a different colour too....
