Materials Needed

• Yarn: Worsted weight yarn in deep teal and seafoam green
• Needles: US 8 (5mm) knitting needles
• Gauge: 18 stitches and 24 rows = 4 inches in stockinette stitch
• Other Supplies: Stitch markers, tapestry needle for weaving in ends

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Cast On: Begin by casting on 3 stitches using the long-tail cast-on method for a stretchy edge.
2. Row 1: Knit the first stitch (K1), then make a yarn over (yo) to increase, and knit to the end of the row.
3. Row 2: Knit the first stitch (K1), then make a yarn over (yo), and purl to the end of the row.
4. Repeat: Continue to repeat Rows 1 and 2 until you have a total of 60 stitches on your needle. This will create the base of your neck warmer.
5. Next Row:
   • Knit the first stitch (K1), make a yarn over (yo), knit 28 stitches (k28), place a marker on the next stitch, knit 2 together (k2tog) to decrease, knit another 28 stitches (k28), make a yarn over (yo), and knit the last stitch (K1).
6. Continue in Pattern: Continue to work in the established pattern, making yarn over increases at each edge and knitting two together at the center marker. This will create the wave-like shape of the neck warmer.
7. Measure: Keep knitting until your piece measures 18 inches from the cast-on edge. This length will ensure that your neck warmer fits comfortably around your neck.
8. Bind Off: Once you have reached the desired length, bind off your stitches loosely to maintain the elasticity of the edge.
9. Finishing Touches: Weave in all ends using a tapestry needle. To give your neck warmer its final shape, block the piece by wetting it and laying it flat to dry, ensuring the edges are even and the texture is highlighted.
