There are so many reasons to have a neck warmer in your mix of cold-weather accessories. Like a winter scarf, you can wear it over a coat or jacket to keep you feeling cozy. But if you lighten up the fabric, you can also use it to give a new look to a round-neck sweater, dress or top. Plus, the simple pattern and minimal fabric requirements make this the perfect stash-buster.
Good to Know: To keep things extra cozy, we used wool for the outer layer and fleece for the lining. Fleece provides extra warmth and comfort, as wool can be irritating when directly against skin. A medium weight knit or flannel would work well for a neck warmer, too.

What You Need
Instructions
1. Draw the Pattern
Cut all your fabric into pieces 36″ in length. If cutting on the long or cross grain, the fabric should be 11″ in width. If you’re cutting on the bias, cut to 26″ in width.
Using the image above as your guide, draw the pattern onto a piece of craft paper. Make special note of the location of the top and bottom of the neck warmer.
2. Cut Out the Pieces
Cut out the outer layer and lining pieces using the drafted pattern.
3. Prepare the Buttonhole
If adding a buttonhole, fuse interfacing to the underside of the outer layer fabric where you intend to place it.
4. Pin the Pieces
With right sides together, pin the outer layer to the lining around the entire perimeter of the neck warmer. Allow the lining fabric to extend slightly beyond the outer layer — this will ensure the lining fits more snugly under the outer layer.
5. Stitch the Pieces Together
Stitch the scarf together using a ¼” seam allowance. Leave a 3″ opening at the bottom (as in the photo above), so you can turn the neck warmer right side out.
6. Turn the Neck Warmer Right Side Out
Trim off the two corners, then turn the neck warmer right side out. Hand stitch the 3″ opening closed.
7. Pin the Edges in Place
With your fingers, carefully turn out the seam edges and corners. Press the edges, then pin them in place to get ready for topstitching.
8. Topstitch
Topstitch the neck warmer using a ⅜” seam allowance.
9. Make the Buttonhole
Mark the location of the buttonhole with chalk or a fabric pen, then stitch in place. Sew the button to the corresponding flap.
Here’s the finished neck warmer, seen from the back. You’re officially ready for a cozy winter!
Linda Reynolds gave us the pattern and instructions FREE! Ladies, she laid her pattern on a 1 inch grid so we can copy her pattern. Just pujt down paper you can see thru to your grided cutting mat, count the squares to make the points and connect the points to make your cutting line.
I have no printer. Glad to see I am not the only one who would like a printed pattern that is actually large enough to SEE. I would buy it. Thanks you.

Hi. Beginner to sewing. I would love to have the pattern. Thanks so much
I would love the printed patter for this neck warmer, please.
It looks like, in the first photo, that there is a seam around the top where the fabric folds over.
Does anyone else see this or am I imagining things?
Where is the actual pattern? Working from a blurry photo is not helpful. How large are the graph squares for reference? Zooming in on the photo created blurry text
Could I have the neck warmer pattern please?
Could I have a neck warmer pattern please.

Yes. Please send me the pattern for the neck warmer. Thank you !
I agree, would love to have the placement of the buttonhole shown.
I would think the buttonhole would depend on the size of the person, and the snugness they prefer.

Great idea….but do you have an actual printable pattern for those of us who don’t draw well?
Did you ever receive a printable pattern? I see many people asking. I do t understand how somone can draw this from looking at a small image on a phone.
Unfortunately I don’t see any markings for the button and buttonhole . However , this is a great little pattern that will make a great Christmas gift !
