SIZE

The neck warmer is designed for an adult female. Stitch calculation in this pattern is provided for a neck warmer to fit approx. 56-58 cm head circumference. There are detailed instructions for calculations to make other sizes based on your gauge.

Thanks to the design used in the pattern that resembles knitting it is hard to believe that this fabric is created with the crochet hook.

The neck warmer is made in one piece using turning rows, starting from the side. The combination of different designs allows the neck warmer to widen at the bottom, in the front part you can shape a little corner, but depending on your preferences you can make your neck warmer with just rounded edge. At the end you will join the starting and the final rows using the tapestry needle.
