This crochet neckwarmer pattern was part of E’Claire Makery‘s round up of Fall Accessory and Garment patterns in 2019.
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. I hope you enjoy this crochet neckwarmer pattern.
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, this one has a keyhole feature. So 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.
With this pattern, if you have never worked the spider stitch it may take a couple of tries to find the ch 1 space that you will be working into. The more you work it the easier it will become to distinguish. The spider stitch is like a V-stitch but instead of double crochet stitches you are using single crochet stitches.
I love the look that this stitch combination gives to a project and I know you will love it too!

I would really really love a video tutorial on this! It looks so nice, but I cannot figure it out 🙁
Is there a tutorial for this pattern?
Hello, no there is not a tutorial for this. Are you having difficulty with a certain part?
I couldn’t find the code and wanted the PDF. Is there anyway I can get it even after the 24 hrs since I didn’t see it in either posts
Thanks
Merry
The code for the Free PDF ran from 9/28 12am PST – 9/28 11:59pm PST. I believe it was taken down after that. I do have a code in my Ravelry shop that can always be used to get $1 off of a pattern purchase. If interested in the PDF for just $2 you can use code GET1OFF. I’m sorry you missed it while it was free!
The pdf is very confusing. I think I’ll stick with the free website version.
The PDF includes 2 sizes for the leaf/bows and the website version only has the small size. The notes say to follow the directions for which size bow (small or Large) you want to work up. I looked at the PDF and added another note and photo of both sizes so hopefully its more clear now. 🙂
The code doesn’t work
It should be working now! Thank you 🙂
