This charming crochet lacy Charma neck warmer pattern is inspired my mother Charma. She doesn’t care for the bulkiness of a long scarf so I thought this would be a great alternative!
You can also wear it around all day when it’s chilly and easily zip up a jacket over it for the outdoors. The lacey edging really makes it such a cute piece.
The pattern is written for medium worsted weight yarn and bulky weight yarn and uses a size I crochet hook.
You can purchase the pattern in my Etsy shop HERE.

The pattern:
Ch 80 for super bulky weight yarn (size 6), ch 86 for bulky weight yarn (size 5), Ch 98 for medium worsted weight yarn (size 4). It’s ok if you need a few more or less stitches, so long as the foundation chain measures 29″.
Row 1: Hdc in 3rd ch from the hk and each st across.
Row 2: Ch 2, hdc in BLO in each st across.
Row 3: Ch 2, hdc in FLO in each st across.
Rows 4-10 (for super bulky yarn), 4-12 (for bulky and medium worsted weight yarn) : Repeat rows 2 and 3.
Sewing:
Position the scarf so one side goes over the other side coming to a point in the front. I always try it on in a mirror first to make sure the fit is just what I like before sewing.
Once you have it positioned where you like, sew through both layers at 3 points: on each corner where the top part of the scarf overlaps and on the other side. Weave in ends.
Edging:
Pick up a loop anywhere around the edging of the scarf and sc 81 for super bulky weight, 87 for bulky weight yarn, 90 for medium worsted weight yarn (doesn’t have to be exact but needs to be a multiple of 3) evenly around (sc through both overlapping areas). Sl st in last st.
Row 1: *Ch 5, skip next 2 sts, sl st in next st,* repeat from * around, ending with ch 5.
Row 2: Sl st in first ch 5 space, ch 5 sts, *sl st in next ch 5 space, ch 5 sts,* repeat around, ending with ch 5.
Rows 3: *Sl st in next ch 5 space, ch 5 sts,* repeat around, ending with ch 5.
***Fasten off and weave in end here for super bulky weight yarn. For bulky and medium weight yarn continue with rows 4 and 5.***
Rows 4-5: repeat row 2. On row 5 end with a sl st into the first ch 5 space and fasten off. Weave in end.
You’re done! Great job! You can keep the collar straight or roll it over for a different look. Either way you’ll look great!
Pin it for later!
absolutely loved this pattern! Thank you so much
Hi! I can’t find where it says to download the pattern. Help!!
The pattern is in the post. There is also an ad free version I sell on Etsy if you do not want the ads. Hope this helps!
What is the measurement for thickness when using different yarns? I see the length is 29″
Approx. 6″ in width.
Gorgeous! I’ve been looking for something like this ! I can’t wait to try it !
Thank you! I hope you enjoy the pattern!
This is beautiful! I think this would be great to keep my neck warm without all of the floppy ends!
So when you say ‘sew’, you actually mean with a sewing machine?
Oh no, just by hand with a blunt needle 🙂
Love this pattern. I just found this the other day and have made several already. It’s a beautiful easy pattern. Makes a nice and useful gift also. Thanks for sharing with us.
Thank you! I’m glad you are enjoying the pattern 🙂
Just a beautiful and stylish crochet pattern. Thank you for sharing.
You’re welcome! Thank you!
Just what I’ve been searching for. Thank you so much.
Wonderful! You’re welcome!
Hi! Is there a video for the border? Is the only thing I don’t get it!! Thank you
I don’t have a video up yet for this pattern, I hope to soon. Is there something in particular that you don’t understand about the border?
Not sure I understand what you mean when you say slip stitch into the chain 5 space. You mean, attach it to one of the centre chains? That’s the only thing that isn’t clear.
Yes, sl st around the center of the ch 5 space.
Saved as ɑ favorite, I like your site!
Thank you!
Is the six inch width before adding the trim?
Yes that is correct.
This is a great pattern so far i’m doing mine in red heart with love mettalic black and i’m on the border in the picture the last row looks like sc’s in the last loop but it doesn’t say to do this in the pattern is there a missing part???
When you lay one side over the other and start the “Edging” section, you will sc around the entire piece before you start the lacey part. Hope this helps!
I just found this pattern today and whipped it up in less than 3 hours. Super easy and very good instructions! I’ve been crocheting for 39 years and I’m a designer myself. I did try 2 changes on the one I made though. First, instead of stitching the whole thing together before doing the edging, I just left it as a strip and put the edging on, then I added buttons to it so I can unbutton it instead of slipping it over my head and messing up my hair LOL. I loved this pattern and couldn’t wait to try it! I’m supposed to be working on jobs around the house, but when I saw this pattern I decided the jobs can wait! LOL. Thank you so much for sharing this beautiful pattern! I will be sure to point my friends in the direction of this website any time they ask about my new scarf!
Thank you so much for your feedback! I’m glad you are enjoying the pattern and I like your idea of adding buttons to button it on 🙂
hello I simply love this pattern I have so many ideas running thru my head of colors to mix n match adding buttons it is just amazing thank-you so much for posting it to share with other people =) Peggy’s Love for Crocheting, via facebook is where I will be posting my finished neck warmer I just made in no time flat. look for the little yellow duck my profile pic thank- you again.
Thanks so much! I’m so glad you are enjoying the pattern 🙂 I will be on the lookout for your finished neck warmer when you post it. Thank you for sharing!
Will Scarfie yarn work for this scarf or is it to thine
Scarfie yarn would be a great yarn choice for this pattern 🙂
I would like to make one for a ten year old do you know how many stitches to use? Thank you
I would ch 10-15 sts less in the beginning chain then continue on as normal from there.
Thanks
Thank you. I also want to make one for a 9 year old and one for an 11 year old so thanks for asking the question and thanks to Laura for the answer
Because this beautiful neck warmer can be made with various weight yarns, it would be helpful to know what dimensions we should have before starting the edging. Not all worsted weight yarns are the same thickness. Thanks.
The length should be 29″ by 6″ width (before adding edging). Hope this helps!
Hi…Thank you for the awesome scarf pattern…my foundation chain measured 29 inches..when I finished it measured 32 inches… it seems ok but is that normal….I kept my stiches relatively snug..
What a beautiful pattern. Thank you for your generosity. I enjoyed all the photos.
Thank you for sharing this pattern! It worked up sooooo fast! I used super bulky (6 wt) yarn, only completed the first 10 rows and I’m ready to put the edging on! I see doing these in all different colors and different weights of yarn for all my Christmas list ladies! Thank you oh, so much!
As winter will be coming soon. I am getting busy making things to keep warm. This pattern is definitely a keeper. Love the option to use different types of yarn. Thank you!
Thanks so much! It’s really nice to wear in the colder months!
I absolutely love that you included directions for three different yarn weights in this pattern. I l live in the coastal region of Texas and we don’t really have need for 5 & 6 weight yarns so it’s not something I have in my stash. I will be making several of these as Christians gifts this year. Thank you for such a wonderful, easy to follow, and useful pattern.
Wish I was able to add picture of my neck warmer for my sister’s [a crocheter] in chilly Washington state, for Christmas. Made with worsted weight yarn, given to me, by a former knitter.
Mine’s 9″ wide before edging.
Thanx for a great pattern. Yours are well written.
i absolutely love this neck warmer pattern. I have done some modifications for sizes but keep the same pattern in the base. Thank you for sharing your fabulous work!
Hi! Love your patterns! Are you in Travese City Michigan?
Thank you! Yes I am, we love living here!
Love the pattern! Thank you for sharing! Made several as gifts!
You’re welcome! I’m glad you are enjoying it!
I’m a bit lost on Rows 4-10(12)…. Do you do alternating rows of 2&3 for EACH row 4 thru 10 OR is it 2&3 for every row? I asked my crochet group but got conflicting answers. As a newer crocheter I’m reading the rest of the pattern OK just that one part stumped me. Thank you for offering up your patterns for free here, it helps someone like me have fun & creative things to make whilst learning
It is alternating rows 2 and 3 for a total of 10 or 12 rows depending on what weight yarn you are using. Hope this helps!
I want to try this scarf but i dont understand using the 5,5 hook for such thick yarn if i use the 6 bulky weight. thanks for your input
You can go up a hook size if you would like. As long as the foundation chain measures 29″ you are good 🙂
Genius design, Laura! You are a generous soul for sharing this.
My old arthritic hands could not handle the I hook for super bulky yarn, so I went up to a K but kept the measurements the same. Worked perfectly and I’ve been able to use up some of my stash of Cozy Wool and LB Thick and Quick. What a beautiful and unique gift for those special people.
Thank you so very much for sharing.
Thanks so much! Glad you are enjoying the pattern!
Thank you so much Fran! I appreciate your kind words 🙂
you can purchase the ad free version of the pattern via the link at the beginning of the post.
What about length for those that have larger necks?
You can add more chains for the foundation ch to get a larger neck size. I also roll mine down if you don’t like it up on your neck.
I may not be seeing thi, but us there yardage for 5 weight yarn? Thank you
What a great pattern! Thanks so much for sharing it!
You’re welcome Donna, thank you!
Thank you Donna!
I love making these warmers and they were quick and great as gifts. Thank you
Thanks Ana! Happy holidays!
Thank you, it’s very beautifulll
I made one for my boss (male), I put buttons on it. No Lacey edge. Turned out very nice. I just added a couple extra rows.
I would have posted a picture, but I didn’t know how.
I’m curious, I like this cowl, but I’m wondering – is it one that you slip on over your head? or can you make it so that is wraps and buttons?
thanks
I found myself in a terrible crochet funk a few months ago…THIS has me revved up again! I just found this pattern and am going to go crochet one right now! It’s exactly the style I need and the look I love! THANK YOU!!! <3
That’s so great to hear! Enjoy the pattern!
Hi! Thanks for this beautiful pattern! When you say to hdc in each chain across, do I also put one into the top of the third skipped stitch on row one and the top of the turning chain In subsequent rows? Thanks!
I know this is an old post but maybe you will see this. Does the Ch2 count as a HDC? I am having an issue with the edges being straight. I am doing the first HDC into the first stitch and also HDC into the turning chain. Is that correct?
Hi! The ch 2 does not count as a hdc. You are doing it correctly.
I love this pattern, but cannot find the instructions in the comments ? Could someone help me out ? Thank you 🙂
There was a glitch but it’s fixed now 🙂
Love your patterns
Thank you very much for sharing this pattern. I’m longing to crochet it,. Beautiful pattern.
Thank you so much. Your pattern looks easy for a beginner like me. Please let me know once you post the video. Is the sewing permanent. Can we have buttons instead? Because I prefer to wrap instead of wearing like a men’s neck warmer. Thank you.
Hi! You can add buttons and slip the dc stitches over the buttons. You do not need to do the sewing if you would rather it button closed. I do have a video on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ubMLqqJ1wPs
I bought the pattern but am unable to download it. All I get is a link to your website: so I’ve simply paid for a link to your site where the pattern resides. Since I bought it, I would like to have my own copy.
Can you please tell me where I can go to actually download it?
Maegan Brownrigg
I found out how to download the pattern!!! Please ignore my request for help. I’m so excited to begin this project. It is such a beautiful accessory. My niece and sister AND a friend have asked about it because they saw a friend with it at a party.
Thanks again for making this pattern available. It’s sooo pretty and looks easy to make.

Hi! Can you tell me where to get the video link please?
Here is the link: https://youtu.be/ubMLqqJ1wPs
After ensuring the foundation chain is 29″, after doing HDC across it comes out around 32″, is this okay?
Also, would it work doing a foundation SC?
Yes that is fine, the fit will be nice. You can do sc, I would just add more rows to make sure it’s wide enough.
