    Crocheted garter ties

    I made some garter ties for my husband to wear to his mum's funeral.

    All I did was use a size H crochet hook to chain the yarn and then I used a larger hook (It didn't say what size it was) to chain that chain. I'm not sure how long the small chaining ended up being as I did 6 feet and ended up adding more after doing the large chaining. It probably amounted to 10 or 12 feet for each garter tie. After doing the large chaining the ties were 3 feet long.



    A close up of the chain effect (sorry it's not very clear, but trust me, it looks cool)


    My husband wearing them.



    So for any of you out there that can't knit (me) but like garter ties, this is a good option. If you can tie a knot, you can do a crochet chain.

    They might not allow hotlinking?

    My mother has made a couple pair of similarly-styled garters for me. I wear them more often than any of my others.
