Keep Me Warm Neck Warmer: Crochet Pattern

Share:

This month Claire of E’Claire Makery is hosting a round up of some Fall Accessory and Garment patterns of several crochet designers and I am so excited to have an opportunity to collaborate with Claire in this project.

The pattern that I will be sharing with you is one that I released in December of 2018 but I recently updated the pattern and had it re-tested to ensure that you have absolutely no issues when making one of your own.

If you have ever walked out of your house on a COLD WINDY day without putting a scarf on you know how REAL that chill can be when it hits your neck. This design is perfect for Fall or Winter to keep that chill off of your neck!

And the bonus of this design is that unlike most cowls that you have to pull down over your head, there should be no messing up of your hair as this pattern has a keyhole design where one end slips in and out of a hole on the other end. So no pulling this over your head, just wrapping around your neck.

You can get an ad-free PDF copy of this pattern on Ravelry & Etsy for $3.00. (don’t forget to use code GET1OFF at checkout)
