Red White Blue Scarf SUMMER COWL Patriotic Crochet Knit Necklace Small Skinny

Description: Red, White, & Blue Patriotic 4th of July Summer Infinity Scarf / Crocheted Necklace Extremely Soft & Lightweight Petite Infinity Scarf hand-crocheted with a silky high quality acrylic yarn. The colors are red, white, and blue. I made this small scarf specifically with July 4th in mind. I crocheted the three different colored strands together as one which makes a thick crocheted fabric...this makes the scarf a lot like a bold necklace. It's really easy to wear, just slip it over your head and maybe press it down a little so it's the shape you prefer, and that's it! My goal with this scarf was to make something colorful and festive for the holiday, while keeping it simple, affordable, and not at all loud or over-the-top. If you need this scarf in different dimensions, just send me a message and we can discuss it. I can easily make a longer or shorter version. This little accessory type of scarf is great for adding some color to a warm-weather outfit without being warm or heavy. It functions mainly as a fashion accessory and is great for spring and summer. Homespun yarn is extremely soft and smooth, so can easily be worn right next to the skin without any irritation whatsoever (I have sensitive skin and have always loved wearing items made with Homespun...almost feels like nothing at all.) After a busy year, I'm making most scarves to order (which means I make the scarves after they are purchased). The handling time in each listing will be an indication of the time it takes me to make the scarf. The handling time for this scarf is five business days. (: I (Michele) design and hand-crochet all of my scarves. As my husband’s friends often ask, “She sits there with just a hook and yarn and makes ALL those scarves?” Haha, yup, I sure do. I’ve been crocheting off and on since I was ten years old, so I’ve become quite speedy with a hook. My pricing is based on yarn costs, crocheting time, and Ebay & Paypal seller fees. --Yarn Content: 98% Acrylic/2% Polyester --Yarn Brand: Lion Brand Homespun --Approximate Length (full circumference unstretched): 32 inches/81 cm --Width: 2 inches/5 cm --Thickness: 5/8 inch/1.7 cm --Weight: 1.8 oz. This size scarf is meant to be worn mainly as an accessory in mild weather. It's often helpful to look at a ruler or measuring tape to get a better idea of the width and length (shown above). For scale, the mannequin in the pictures represents a small-sized woman (Size 0 or 2) with a neck size of about 12 inches. The pattern is my own design and is a combination of stitches crocheted as one continuous loop. It's crocheted "in the round" to eliminate a seam (with most infinity scarves, the area where I turn to start a new row is often slightly noticeable, but this part of the scarf can be worn behind the neck, if desired). These scarves have great range: they can complement the simplest, most casual tank tops and t-shirts, or add interest and color to sundresses and cocktail dresses. CARE INSTRUCTIONS: Can be washed in cold and dried in dryer on low setting. However, I recommend either hand-washing in cold water and laying flat to dry, or washing on a gentle cycle in a lingerie bag and drying only a few minutes in the dryer. The gentler washing & drying prevents the yarn from frizzing over time. Avoid washing with heavier garments that cause friction. If using washing machine, avoid washing with items that have zippers, buttons, etc that may snag the yarn loops and pull on them or make the yarn fray. The general rule for washing crocheted items and keeping them looking as new as possible: the gentler, the better. (: The summer scarves are small enough that they're really easy to hand-wash in a sink, gently roll up in a towel to squeeze out excess water, then reshape and air dry. I like to add just a tiny bit of fabric softener when hand-rinsing to make the yarn even softer and static-free. Note: All yarns come with a bit of "factory residue" that causes a little stiffness. This will disappear with regular handling and/or the first wash, bringing out the true softness of the yarn. U.S. SHIPPING: I keep shipping to a minimum and offer USPS First Class Package as the best value for price & speed. For multiple orders, I often use Priority Mail. I use the Paypal USPS integrated shipping system whenever possible, so you will be provided with a delivery confirmation number by email. I do combine shipping and already have discounts set up through Ebay, but may be able to reduce shipping costs even more if you'd like to request a total after purchasing multiple items but before paying for them. Once shipped, almost all of my shipments within the U.S. arrive in two to five mailing days. INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING: I always combine shipping for multiple orders and already have discounts set up through Ebay. I will always refund any significant overpayment of postage costs. I most commonly use USPS First Class International for shipping outside of the US. First Class International may take a longer time to arrive than other services, but it's much more affordable than Priority International (which usually runs $25 or more for a few ounces). Delivery time for international packages is usually 5 to 15 business days. Customs, bad weather, or national holidays can sometimes slow down a package with the occasional shipment taking around 30 days to arrive. This only happens to about 5% of my international shipments. (: As of January 27th, 2013, USPS has raised prices for First Class International, in some cases almost doubling the amount they used to charge. On a positive note, they are starting to include tracking and delivery confirmation as part of the First Class service. They are beginning with Canada and will be adding other countries in the future. The amount I charge for First Class International shipping includes the weight of a cardboard box. If you’d like me to ship your scarf or scarves in a polymer shipping envelope, I do have those available. Using shipping envelopes can sometimes reduce the total package weight and lessen the cost of shipping. Please let me know if you’d like me to ship using this type of packaging and I’ll see if there’s a price difference. If you’ve already paid for the scarf and shipping, I can always issue a refund through Paypal for the difference. International Buyers Please Note: Import duties, taxes, and charges are not included in the item price or shipping cost. These charges are the buyer's responsibility. Please check with your country's customs office to determine what these additional costs will be prior to bidding or buying. PAYMENTS: I only accept Paypal. If you don't have a Paypal account, you will still be able to pay with a credit or debit card through Paypal. You can also pay from your bank account using an E-check (also through the Paypal system), but I won't be able to ship until the check has cleared, Paypal says it's okay to ship and allows me to print out a label. RETURNS: For now, I am not accepting returns, but am completely open to resolving any problems that may occur. I feel the best strategy is to head off any problems before they even happen. If you have any questions whatsoever about any items I am selling, please ask. Thanks for looking! (:
