A neck warmer can be knitted in several ways. You can make a long scarf and then sew it into a circle, or you can make a circle yourself if you have a little more experience with knitting. Both methods will give a satisfactory result.

Steps

Method 1 of 5: Simple Neck Warmer

Basically, it is a long scarf, sewn together to form a circle.

Step 1. Mount 60 points

Step 2. Make 2 straight stitches and 2 purl stitches along the row

Step 3. Repeat the row until the scarf measures at least 180cm

You can also make it shorter if you want. If so, it may measure about 95cm.
You can make it longer, but remember that you will have to carry it around your neck and support its weight!

Step 4. Loosely rib knit, turning as you finish the stitch

The rib corresponds to 1 straight and 1 purl to the end of the row.

Step 5. Weave the stitches

Line up the two edges together and sew them, turning the ends inward as you sew.

Some people recommend turning one end before sewing the edges to make the scarf twisted. The choice is yours. Remember that, in any case, you will have the possibility to twist it when you wear it

Step 6. Finished

Method 2 of 5: Neck Warmer Made with Circular Needles

If you know how to sew in a circle, this scarf is very simple to do. Choose the pattern and sew.

Step 1. Use a very long circular needle

If you use a short one, you will be able to make a normal neck warmer, but you will not be able to wrap it around itself multiple times.

The iron size should be at least 4mm or more

Step 2. Choose the stitch and pattern you prefer

The straight stitch is good for beginners - make straight stitches in even rows and purl stitches in odd rows. You can vary the number of lines as you work.

Step 3. Choose the length of the scarf

You will need to measure the final length which can vary based on the stitch used. Make a sample of about 15 points and measure its thickness, so you can check how many points correspond to 5 cm and then calculate the final desired length.

Step 4. Mount

Using the calculation from the previous steps, fit the number of stitches you need for the desired length. Then join the beginning and end of the row and start working in a circle.

Step 5. Work in a circle

Step 6. Keep working until you reach the desired height

Then he disassembles and the scarf is finished.

Method 3 of 5: Neck Warmer Usable As A Hood

This pattern is for making a normal neck warmer that you can pull over your head to keep both your neck and head warm. Typically, however, this pattern is not long enough to even be twisted.

Tension: 7 stitches of 2.5cm

Step 1. Use the 2.25mm needles first

Mount 152 stitches on 3 rows (50-50-52).
Merge; do not turn the points.
Work 3.8 cm in circles of 2 straight and 2 purl ribs.

Step 2. Take the 3mm needles

Work as follows:

First line: straight
Second line: straight
Third row: straight
Fourth row: reverse
Fifth row: straight
Sixth row: reverse
Seventh row: straight
Eighth line: Reverse.

Step 3. These 8 lines form the pattern

Repeat this 13 more times, making a total of 14 patterns.

Step 4. Go back to the 2.5mm needles

Work the 3.8 cm rib with 2 straight, 2 purl.

Step 5. Loosely ribbed weave

Step 6. Sew the ends neatly

The hood is complete! Try it to check that the fit is right.

Method 4 of 5: Neck Warmer to Make with a Custom Pattern

Step 1. Choose a model

You can create a neck warmer from the design of other pre-made scarves, as long as it is long enough and has a rectangular shape. It should also be of sufficient width. Experiment with getting a pretty scarf that wraps around your neck in a satisfying way.

Step 2. Knit the scarf according to the chosen pattern

Step 3. Sew the ends together when finished to create a circle

Here is a scarf made with your favorite model!

If you are using wool, do not wash it in hot water; always use lukewarm or cold water along with wool detergent or hand soap. Always support woolen clothes to prevent them from stretching, even when you take them out of the basin.
