Free Knitting Pattern: 3 Button Neckwarmer

This cozy knitted neckwarmer is made with bulky weight acrylic yarn, which is more comfortable and less itchy around the neck. It takes less than a skein of yarn and can be made quickly as a last-minute gift or a new addition to your cold-weather wardrobe.

Similar to the Paddington Neckwarmer I did 6 years ago, this version includes a third button, less bulky yarn, and smaller needles. A great stashbuster!

Give it a try and send me your comments! I would love to see your creations. 🙂

Suggested Yarns

I used a 100% acrylic bulky yarn from my stash that is no longer available, so here are some options for you! Pick a yarn that is not going to be itchy on your neck. Soft and washable is my favorite yarn for this project.
