Knitting Girls Lovely White Neck Warmer Knitting Pattern

This pattern is part of "Knitting Girls Lovely White Winter Set".
Find more Scarfs/Neck Warmers in the Neck Warmers/Scarfs Section.


What do you need?
- Knitting yarn in the color you like (about 50 grams)
- 3 little buttons in a matching color
- a piece of ribbon ( 50 cm)
- 2 knitting needles (4mm/US#6)

Knitting Pattern
Put 70 stitches on a 4 mm needle. Knit 25 lines in rib stitch (knit 1, purl 1). In the next row, multiply every knit stitch by 3. You have 70+70=140 stitches on your needle. Knit 8 rows in rib stitch (knit 3, purl 1). In the next row multiply the knit stitches next to a purl stitch by 2. You have 140+70=210 stitches on your needle. Knit 10 rows in rib stitch (knit 5, purl 1). In the next row multiply the knit stitches next to a purl stitch by 2. You have 210+70=280 stitches on your needle. Knit 12 rows in rib stitch (knit 7, purl 1). Bind off and most part of your neck warmer is finished.
Finishing the neck warmer.
Sew the three buttons on to the neck warmer and a 3 loops of knitting yarn. Then, cut of a piece of ribbon and weave the ribbon though the little holes in the neckwarmer. Make sure you make some sewing stitches over the ends of the ribbon, to keep it from splitting.

  1. What is the gauge, and what thickness of yarn? I'm guessing fingerling?

  2. I used DK weight yarn. I don't have the gauge by had, but it will be the same as the gauge for forest faerie hat which uses the same yarn and needles. http://lovelyknitting.blogspot.com/2009/11/knitting-girls-lovely-forest-faerie-hat.html

  4. When I wrote the pattern I was a new knitter too. By multiply by 3 I meant to triple all stitches on the needle. You can do that by knitting the stitch in the front loop, and than (without taking the 'new' stitch from the needle) in the back loop. Than you still have to increase another stitch. You can do that by picking up the loop between you stitch you just knitted and the next stitch. If you take up this loop with your left needle, you can knit it on to the right.
