Description

The listing, OOAK Brand New *Custom* Crocheted Babushka (head scarf / doo rag) #3 has ended.

**The one pictured is not for sale, it is my "prototype" and personal babushka. The additional pictures are just examples of my work.**

I am offering for auction to make a brand new head scarf like the one pictured above. These are traditionally called babushkas (spelling varies). They can be tied at the nape of the neck as in pictures 2 and 3 or under the chin as in picture 5 (which is the most common way to wear them). Picture 4 is an illustration of size. (Yes, here in horse country, we measure with our hands... LOL.)

I came up with this pattern myself after learning the lemonade stitch with a little help from my friends.

At close of auction, you will let me know if you want one made from cotton (lighter for warm weather) or acrylic (for cooler weather, as pictured above). I would like to know your color preference, but all colors may not be available. We can work together on this. Piece does not have to be made from just one color. (Note: Cotton is a bit harder to come by and color selection may be extremely limited for it.)

Every piece I make is One Of A Kind. I always change up something in the way the yarns are used or in how the tie ends are stitched. You will never see two alike. (I don't think I could make exact duplicates even if I tried.)

I can have this finished in the seven days allowed for shipping per Listia rules. All Listia rules apply and I will ONLY ship to Listia verified address. (We all know this already, right?)

Please feel free to ask any questions. Bright Blessings.

(The # 3 in auction title is just for me to know this is the third one I have listed, so I don't get them mixed up.)

My sister has made me several of these and I love them all! I have both acrylic and cotton so that I can wear them year round, and I have to say that they are lifesavers when I want to go outdoors and it is too sunny to go without, or I just want to look spiffy:)

Thanks, Sis, I'm glad you like them. I'm sure you'll have one for every day of the week before I'm thru! LOL I just wish there was a better color selection for the cottons. I picked up some purple tonight and it felt like pulling teeth just to get a shade I like.

I will post another soon. Just want to put some space between auctions to give me more time to work on the pieces. Making two at once was quite the challenge. :-) I'm so glad you like my work. Bright Blessings.

For those who were interested in getting two babushkas, I have put another one up on auction and also added a GIN to it after much figuring of materials and time.... it is always so hard to put a worth on handcrafts.
