Crochet Lace Neck Warmer

This charming crochet lace 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, 5.5 mm crochet hook.

The body of the cowl is worked up with a series of half double crochet stitches that are worked into the front loops only and the back loops only to create a beautiful texture. The piece is then folded then the lace edging made by using a series of chains. 

This is a beginner friendly piece and works up fairly quickly, about a few hours needed to complete. You can use medium, bulky or extra bulky yarn (go up a hook size for this one). The amount of chains will vary for the foundation chain, just as long as it measures 29 inches. I also made a video showing you how the make the neck warmer posted below.

Feel free to post your finished pieces on social media! I would love to see finished pieces 🙂 #traversebaycrochet.

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!
