Today, I’ll show you how to make this colorwork-style neck warmer.

Hi, I’m Kaitlin.

This time, I used slipped stitches to create a colorwork-look neck warmer that even beginners can try.

The main pattern uses only purl stitches and slipped stitches,

and since the pattern repeat is just 4 rounds, it’s very easy to knit.

The edges are worked in stockinette stitch and then folded double,

giving the piece a nice dimensional look.

It’s a simple pattern,

so I hope you’ll enjoy knitting it in your favorite color combinations!

Stockinette Stitch Section ②

Rnds 1–6　　　k148 (Stockinette stitch)

After completing Rnd 6, bind off.

Once binding off is complete,

cut the yarn leaving a tail of approximately 150 cm,

and pull it through the final stitch.

Steam Blocking

Hover a steam iron over the fabric and apply plenty of steam to shape and smooth the stitches.

Finishing

Thread the yarn tail from the cast-on edge onto a tapestry needle.

Seam the outer loop of the cast-on edge to Rnd 6 of Stockinette Stitch Section ① (the raised stitches worked in Color 2). (See video at 12:13)

Work the seam so that the reverse stockinette side faces outward.

Once the seaming is complete,

weave in the yarn end on the wrong side so that it does not show through to the right side.

To secure the end, pass the needle through several stitches on the wrong side,

then go back one stitch and pass the needle through again before trimming the yarn.

Repeat the same process for the bind-off edge.

Thread the yarn tail onto a tapestry needle,

and join the last stitch to the first stitch using a chain join. (See video at 14:21)

Next, seam the back loop of the bind-off edge to Pattern Rnd 75 (the raised stitches worked in Color 12). (See video at 15:10)

After seaming, weave in the yarn end on the wrong side in the same manner as before,

making sure it does not show on the right side.

Finish any remaining yarn ends in the same way.

Finally, apply plenty of steam to the reverse stockinette sections at both ends to shape and even out the fabric.

All done—great job!

You can finish this in a day,

and it’s perfect for early spring,

so I hope you’ll give it a try!
