1-1 Neck Warmer with a Twist! 1 Skein. 1 Afternoon. Free crochet pattern.

This neck warmer has an interesting construction technique. It’s twisted in the first row and then you just keep crocheting in an infinity pattern. No turning. No seams. Just round and round. That makes it work up very quickly. Like my other 1-1 patterns, you can make it this afternoon and give it as a gift tonight!

mobius stripThis is a Mobius scarf. Check out the properties on Wikipedia. The easiest way to explain how you’ll be crocheting this is take a strip of paper and give it a half twist so the top of one end connects to the bottom of the other.

mobius strip 2Now draw a line down the center of the strip…just keep going. Eventually you will come back to your starting position, having drawn your line all the way around on both sides of the paper. Cool, huh?

 

That’s how you’ll be crocheting this neckwarmer. All along the edges without turning. Your starting chain will end up in the center of your scarf.

You’ll be starting with a foundation single crochet. If you haven’t done this before,here is a video on how to do it. I really like using foundation single crochet stitches on a cowl or neck warmer because it’s easier to join without getting it all twisted!

I added the contrasting color along the border to show off the Mobius design. The neck warmer looks great without it, but I think the border makes it more interesting!

What You’ll Need:

  • 140 yards of worsted weight yarn. I used Cascade Avalon.
  • A small amount of a contrasting yarn if you’d like to add the border
  • A Button
  • Crochet Hook Size J (6.0 mm)
  • Yarn Needle to weave in ends

Gauge

  • 3 1/2 clusters and 10 rows = 4”
  • My finished project measured 7” tall by 10” wide (20” circumference)

Abbreviations

  • fsc = foundation single crochet
  • ss = slip stitch
  • ch = chain
  • sc = single crochet
  • st = stitch
  • sk = skip
  • sp = space

Pattern

  • Fsc 80. If you’d like to change the width of the neck warmer, fsc a multiple of 4
  • Straighten chain, and make a ½ twist connecting the top of one end with the bottom of the other. Join with a ss.
  • Round 1 – ch 1. 2 sc in same st as ss. ch 2, 2 sc in next st. *sk 2 st, 2 sc in next. ch 2, 2 sc in next st.* Repeat all the way around. When you get to the beginning, continue on other side of fsc.mobius technique-imp
  • Round 2 – (2 sc, ch 2, 2 sc) in each ch-2 sp. Continue around.

Hug for Janice Shawl – Free Crochet Pattern

    I wanted to make something beautiful for my Sweetie’s Aunt Janice and thought a shawl would be perfect. She lives in the mountains of Virginia, and even when you’re inside this time of year, you can get chilled.  I also loved the idea of a prayer shawl or comfort shawl. It all begins […]
