Crocheted Chest Warmer

Thank you Sandie P from Louisiana for this thoughtful donation.  Folks Sandie is one of our most long term supporters of Bridge and Beyond.  She and I have known each other on line through crochet groups for MANY years!!  This is a crocheted chest warmer.  Many years ago a mutual friend to Sandie P and I, Ghost made and donated a chest warmer.  Sandie, as you might know is a Master Crocheter and often tests patterns that others write.  Thus is the case with this chest warmer.  

Our friend, Ghost is smiling from above no doubt that this many years she is still so fondly remembered.  Sandie and I have discussed how this item is easy to make and quite versatile...in that you could leave as is above, or add buttons like Ghost did (follow link above), or use ties to join the garment.  It certainly adds a layer of warm and makes sizing less of an issue.  

Anyone wanting to make it really simple...how bout shoe strings for ties?  Thank you Sandie for your work on this project and for bouncing ideas about how it could be used with me.  Much Appreciated.  Sandie's blog has lots of very helpful information folks, so please pop over for a visit.

As always, please keep up the good work and know YOU do make a difference.

**The counts on our progress bars are current. All donations regardless of size and number are valued. All donations are appreciated. The Power of One is awesome, and when we work together The Power of One becomes The Power of Many.

  2. I have never seen a chest warmer before. Interesting idea. Looks like it would keep someone warm.

Where are You and Your Yarn From?

I'm trying to identify where everyone is from, partially for fun. Take a look at the map. Also, believe it will aid me in cases where we have several people with the same name. Please look at the lists of bloggers and non bloggers and see if I have the state you hail from. If not, please leave a comment and let me know.

Additionally, we've had help from Scotland, England, Germany Puerto Rico, Canada, and France! They don't appear on the map, but their help is still greatly appreciated.

Where The People Who Donate Come From, is your state represented?
