My son’s last day of school before the Christmas holiday is next week. I wanted to make something easy and cute for his teacher and since it’s getting cold here in Texas, I thought a neck warmer would be fabulous!
Materials:
1 ball Wool-Ease Thick & Quick
Crochet hook, 10.00mm (N)
2 buttons & thread + needle to sew them on
Yarn needle to weave in ends
Abbreviations:
CH: chain
SC: single crochet
DC: double crochet
st: stitch
Pattern:
Ch 12
SC in 2nd loop from hook, *DC in next ch, sc in next ch* repeat from * to end (11 stitches total, row ends in SC)
Pattern row 1: ch 2, *DC in first stitch, SC in next*, repeat from * to end (row ends in DC).
Pattern row 2: ch 1, *SC in first stitch, DC in next*, repeat from * to end (row ends in SC).
repeat these 2 rows for 3 inches, ending on pattern row 2, then start buttonhole row:
*DC in next st, SC in next st* twice, ch 1, skip 1 st, sc in next, ch1, skip next, *SC in next st, DC in next st* twice
Continue repeating the 2 pattern rows (row after buttonhole row would be Pattern row 2) for 30 inches, OR until desired length, OR until you run out of yarn.
Weave in ends and sew on buttons in whatever fashion you desire.
Enjoy!

awesome! I’m making more this week, too. They’re faster than knitting berets, that’s for sure!

I made one of these today! I only had a little less than an 84-yard ball and it came out adorable! Thanks!

Thanks for your great patterns! There are few crochet patterns that I find to be truly great… but yours are the real deal.

I really like your pattern and am going to attempt to make one for my granddaughter for Christmas. I REALLY like the pattern of the blue background one. Do you happen to have a collar, cowl or scarf pattern with that stitch?

Thank you for sharing this pattern. A very easy pattern to follow although I found it easier to change it just a bit. I found that either chaining 1 or 2 at the end of the row and before the turn and counting those stitches as the beginning stitch on the next row it made the edges more even and smooth. Still a very easy and lovely pattern. Making this for my sister for Christmas. Thanks again.

Would you mind posting the length and width of this piece? I want to use a lighter yarn since I don’t live close to somewhere with a nice selection of bulky and super bulky yarn. Thanks so much for such a cute pattern!
