This neck warmer was designed to be knit quickly and shipped off to warm a friend immediately.

I love this pattern. It has two motifs with its obvious Selbu stars and then the secondary stars in the negative space. It’s a quick knit (have I mentioned it’s fast?). It’s almost instant portable hygge. Knit with the extremely cozy Woolfolk TOV, it will keep you, or your loved ones, warm and cozy in sub-zero temperatures. You can knit it over a weekend. I love to send small gifts like this in the mail.
