Prepare to wrap yourself and your loved ones in the soft, snug comfort that only a personally crocheted neck warmer can provide, making every cold day a bit more beautiful and a lot more bearable.

Materials Needed:

Yarn (approximately 100g, the type used in the video or any that you have)
Crochet hook size 3.75 mm

Pattern Overview:

The neck warmer is crocheted using half double crochet stitches and worked in back loops only to create a ribbed texture.

Step-by-Step Pattern:

Initial Chain:

Make a chain that is as long as you want the neck warmer to be wide. The transcript mentions a chain length of around 10 to 12 inches, but this is adjustable as per your preference. The specific chain count isn't provided since tension may vary; however, for the example provided in the video, 72 chains achieved approximately 10 inches.

Row 1:

Chain 1 extra (acts as a turning chain), then work a half double crochet (hdc) into the second chain from the hook.
Continue with hdc in each chain across until you reach the end of the row.

Row 2:

Chain 1 (turning chain) and turn your work.
In this row, you will work hdc into the back loop only of each stitch from the previous row.
To work a back loop hdc, yarn over, insert the hook into the back loop of the first stitch, yarn over again, pull through the loop (three loops on the hook), yarn over and pull through all three loops on the hook.
Repeat this across the row.

Remaining Rows:

Repeat Row 2 for the subsequent rows until the piece measures the desired length.
This is the portion that will wrap around your neck.
The example in the video mentioned reaching about 15 inches without stretching.

Joining Ends:

Once you reach the desired length, fold the neck warmer flat with the ends touching, making sure not to twist the piece.
The join will create the hole for your head.
Decide how wide or narrow you want the opening for your head by joining more or fewer stitches (this will also affect the height of the neck warmer).

Seam:

With the ends lined up, join the edges with single crochet stitches, going through both layers.
Start at one corner and work in each stitch, ensuring that the stitches on both sides match up.
When you reach the desired width for the opening, finish off with a slip stitch.
