Crochet Neck Warmer Pattern Tutorial

We are going to use the boot cuff pattern from my last post to make this neck warmer.
Honestly, the boot cuff pattern only needs to be altered slightly to make it into a neck warmer.

I have designed this neck warmer to be a tad longer than average, which makes it more versatile.

Materials:

I used the same Aran and Passion yarn I used to make the boot cuffs.
Buttons - I used 2 from this shop - Tessas Lil Treasures
Size J/10 (6.00mm) crochet hook
Yarn needle (optional) I use it to weave in the ends

Gauge is the same as the boot cuff pattern


DC = Double Crochet
SC = Single Crochet
SS = Slip Stitch
CH = Chain  
The CH 3 at the beginning of each row is considered a DC in this pattern

With Aran yarn - CH 18

Row 1 - DC in 3rd CH from hook and in each CH across (18 DC). CH 3, turn.

Rows 2 - 32 - DC in next DC, working in the Back Loop Only, DC in the next 14 DC, working through both loops, DC in last 2 DC (18 DC). CH 3, turn.

Row 33 (this is the right side) - DC in next DC, working in the Back Loop Only, DC in the next 14 DC, working through both loops, DC in last 2 DC (18 DC). 

Fasten off.

Neck warmer trim:


Working along the long edge of the neck warmer, with right side facing, attach the Passion yarn with a SC.

*If you aren't familiar with attaching the yarn with a SC - follow the directions below*

Make a loop on your hook exactly the same as you do to start a beginning chain.
Leave the loop on your hook and insert your hook into the stitch you're attaching to.

Yarn over and pull the yarn through the stitch. Now you have 2 loops on your hook.

Yarn over and pull the yarn through both loops on the hook. Now you have a SC :)

Row 1 - *Work 2 SC in each DC along the long side of the neck warmer.

Continuing around the neck warmer, Work 3 SC in the corner of the short edge, 1 SC in each DC across the short edge and 3 SC in the last corner of the short edge.* Repeat from * to * once more. Join with a SS to the first SC - do not turn. (174 SC)

Row 2 - CH 1, SC in same stitch as CH 1. * Skip the next SC, 5 DC in the next SC, skip the next SC, SC in next SC*. Repeat from * to * until you have completed the last SC before the corner. Skip 2 SC (this will allow us to work the DC shell in the center SC of the 3 SC corner) Work 6 DC in the center SC of the corner. Skip 2 SC, SC in the next SC, skip the next SC, 5 DC in the next SC, skip the next SC, SC in the next SC. Continue around the neck warmer, skipping 2 SC at the corners so that the 6 DC shell can be worked in the center SC of the corners. Join with a SS to the first SC.
Fasten off, weave in ends.


Cut 2 - 8" pieces of Aran yarn.
Thread the yarn through the buttons.

Place the buttons on the front of the neck warmer, push the yarn ends through to the back and tie a knot to secure the buttons. Weave in ends.

You can make a rose for the neck warmer following the boot cuff rose pattern. In the picture below, I simply used one of the roses I already completed for the boot cuff.

The following pictures demonstrate the versatility of a longer neck warmer. However, if you would prefer a shorter warmer, just finish off at row 28 rather than working 33 rows.


In this photo, I crossed the ends and only fastened 1 button.

For this example, I buttoned the warmer, scrunched up the center where the buttons are and tied the rose around the scrunched section.

Here I folded the warmer in half lengthwise and buttoned 1 button.

I'm sure you will think of many more ways to style this neck warmer!
