I decided to try my hand at making a neck warmer. It's a nice little project that you can knit up in a day or two. Directions Below.
Supplies
Size 10 needles
100% cotton 4 PLY yarn
large sewing needle
button of your choice
SK2P - Slip 1, knit 2 together, pass slip stitch over k2tog
Directions
Cast on 19 stitches
Row 1 - Purl
Row 2 - K1, *yo, k1, SK2P, k1, yo, k1; repeat from * to end
Repeat rows 1 and 2 for desired length (neck warmer should measure no longer than one inch longer than neck circumference.
last row - Purl
bind off, leave a tail to sew button
Sew the button to the end that you binded off.
The eyelets in the pattern create natural button holes, so you don't have to add any.
* If using cotton, remember it will stretch out a little.

Thanks hanging out with my blog for a little bit the other day. I am truly inspired by you and your arts+crafts projects. They suit me and my -gotta start and finish things today or they don't get done- life right now! I love the scarf. Lovely little thing-- gorgeous photos, and can't wait to search for the perfect button to fasten it with. It's all about the button for me right now...

I really love it!
nifty! where'd you get that stylin' button?
I got the button at an antique shop. One of the vendors there has a giant bin of buttons you can pick and choose from. That was the only one.
How cute! I LOVE that button!
this is really cool! my neck is always cold, so i usually wear a scarf, but i like this idea for something different.
That is really pretty. I love the button. Well done!

A wonderful looking neck warmer!
I would love to know what yarn you used, the finished product looks so yummy!!
100% cotton 4 ply, I think the brand is sugar and cream, I get it at Michaels
That's a nice simple neckwarmer. I've got a version of one on my craft blog too.
