Wrap v. \’rap\ (1) to cover, especially by winding or folding (2) to coil, fold, draw or wind around something.
What better quick last minute Christmas project than a neck
warmer or neck “wrap”! I sat down with
one skein of yarn a few nights ago with a mind to create my own neck
warmer. Something just big enough to sit
inside the neckline of a winter coat, with a keyhole to keep it in place. After two evenings, one football game, an
episode of Boardwalk Empire and a movie I finished my project. A simple, useful neckwarmer that anyone can
knit up in just a few evenings.
This neck warmer was knit with worsted weight yarn on US size 8 needles. I used an inexpensive skein of Red Heart Super Saver. I love this yarn for scarves because it is so soft after one washing – no scratchy, itchiness against your neck! And because it washes so nicely, there’s no worry about using white.
With less than a month to Christmas, if you are wanting a
quick simple handmade project you can find the pattern here -- just click and
get clacking!
