Neckwarmer


Ginger neckwarmer, originally uploaded by Urbanknit.

Neckwarmer, snood, cowl, cuff, scarflette. Goes by so many names but is a really simple idea. Something that keeps your neck warm without getting in the way, falling off or getting lost.

I like to make them in chunky 100% merino wool. I have been experimenting with varying the stitching to give added texture. More here and here

  1. I like the chunkies too. I've been seeing scarflettes more and more lately and I'm thinkin they would be more comfortable than a regular scarf.

  2. Wow, this knit looks so toasty warm. It's a shame we're heading into Summer in Australia. I like the idea of your neckwarmer...a scarf does always seem to fall off your shoulders
