Hello hello friends!
Winter is fast approaching and I must admit, it’s not my favourite season, but I love all the cozy things winter brings.
Some of my favourite accessories are neckwarmers and scarves, I think they are so cozy and add that extra layer of coziness to your outfit.
Here in Canada, they are extremely necessary.
Today I’m going to share with you this easy and quick knitting pattern, perfect for beginners.

This neckwarmer is super simple to make, we are only using simple stitches, with no increases or decreases, which is perfect for those who are just learning how to knit and need a quick project to start.
About the yarn I used
This pattern was made using super bulky weight yarn, category #6. The yarn I used is Lion Brand Hometown in the colour Montpelier Peacock.
Any super bulky weight yarn will work. This one in particular is 100% acrylic, which is perfect for those who don’t like wool or find it scratchy.
Another great alternative, and one of my favourite yarns of all time is Wool-Ease Thick & Quick by Lion Brand, which is amazing because it’s got such large colour choices.
