When the idea for this neckwarmer first came to me, I was in love with the idea of a bit of lace and cables paired with a large button. Of course, I searched all of the usual places first, but nothing fit the image in my head. Thus, the Marelda Neckwarmer was born.

One of the best things about a neckwarmer is how little yarn it uses. This pattern is great for those little bits of yarn that are leftover from another project or for that special bit of yarn you’ve been saving for just the right project. The neckwarmer uses approximately 150 yards of yarn.

This pattern is meant for an adventurous novice knitter or a more experienced mid-level knitter as the chart can be difficult to follow.

Both written and charted directions are included in this pattern.

Size: Approximately 20 inches long and 7 inches wide

To alter the size: Add or subtract repeats of the chart OR adjust your gauge to increase or decrease the length of the scarf as needed.

Other Notions Needed: 1 large button, matching thread, and a sewing needle
