Do you also get headaches from extreme heat? You can cool off by using a cold pack on your forehead or on your shoulders and upper back.

I've created this lacy collar out of cotton yarn that can be soaked in water and used as a cooling compress. Just wet it, squeeze it lightly and lay over your shoulders. It stays in place due to its shape.
Follow the tutorial to make yours out of cotton yarn and a Tunisian crochet hook.
You can also make this as a simple lacy collar to wear for an event.
Add a button and a loop to close it and keep it in place if you intend to move around a lot.
To make it your preferred size, start with a chain of 41, 45 or 49 chains and follow the instructions in the video.
Written instructions are available on the blog for free: yarnandy.com/free-tunisian-crochet-pattern-cooling-collar
PDF versions of this pattern can be found here: coming soon.

![Little sun coaster - summery Tunisian crochet circle pattern [CC]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/PrSUpIfIxo0/mqdefault.jpg "Little sun coaster - summery Tunisian crochet circle pattern [CC]
Make a pretty coaster and learn colorwork techniques in Tunisian crochet with this fun little pattern.
You could make a set of coasters for loved ones, or some of these sun coasters for a housewarming gift, or even for yourself, to put a glass of lemonade on.
The pattern is quick, easy, and you can even use your regular hooks.
You will need 5-6 grams or about 12-15 meters of 3-ply or 4-ply cotton yarn (the thinner kind, size 2, not the kind for making dishcloths), scissors and tapestry needle for weaving in ends.
The finished coaster measures about 8.5 cm or 3 1/4 inches in diameter.
The PDF pattern includes step-by-step photos of the process and is available on a pay what you can basis on some platforms.
