Materials Needed:
– Approximately 87 yards of Bulky Weight 5 yarn. I used Lion Brand Two of Wands Hue + Me Chunky Wool Blend in “Agave”

Stitches:
CH – Chain
SS – Slip Stitch
SK – Skip Stitch

Special Stitch Tutorial:
Moss Stitch: Row 1 is made by making 1 SC, CH 1, SK 1 stitch across the row (ending with 1 SC). For row 2 and beyond, repeat row 1 but the SC stitches are worked into the CH 1 space of the previous row.

Pattern:
CH 20 and begin row 1 in the 2nd CH from your hook.
Row 1:
Into the 4th CH from your hook, place 1 SC. CH 1 and SK the next stitch. *Make 1 SC, CH 1 and SK the next stitch.* Repeat from * to * 6 more times. Place 1 SC into the last stitch. CH 2 and turn.
(9 SC stitches, 9 CH 1 = 18 stitches)
Row 2:
Into the first CH 1 space, place 1 SC, CH 1 and SK the next stitch. *In the next CH 1 space, place 1 SC, CH 1 and SK the next stitch.* Repeat from * to * 6 more times. Place 1 SC into the space between the last SC stitch and the turning CH. CH 2 and turn.
(19 SC stitches, 9 CH 1 = 18 stitches)
Repeat row 2, 58 more times for a total of 60 rows. After completing the last row of the project, do not CH 2 and turn. Fasten off and leave a long tail for seaming.
Seaming: (Photo A)
Bring the two short ends together and with the yarn tail, seam them together. I like using the invisible seam but please use the method you are most comfortable with. Some other options are using a slip stitch, single crocheting or using a blanket stitch. After seaming, fasten off and weave in the ends.
Edging:
(Complete for both top and bottom edges. Working with faux fur yarn can be challenging. When you make your first HDC, place a stitch marker in the top of the stitch to mark where to place the SS after completing the final HDC.)
Tip: There isn’t a particular space for working your edging since you are crocheting into the sides of the stitches from each row. Simply place your HDC stitches into spots that create a neat and even distance (photo B).
Beginning at the seam, join yarn with a SS, CH 1. Place 1 HDC evenly around the edge. SS into the beginning HDC. Fasten off and repeat for the second edge.
Great job! Your Warm and Cozy Neckwarmer is complete. For more fun and creative designs, be sure to check out the Free Pattern section of my blog. Ad free, printer friendly versions can be found in my Etsy and Ravelry shops. Happy Crocheting!
