Materials Needed

• Yarn: Super bulky yarn, 100% wool, approximately 100 yards
• Crochet Hook: 12mm crochet hook
• Scissors: For cutting yarn
• Tapestry Needle: For weaving in ends

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Chain 60: Start by making a slip knot on your hook. Chain 60 stitches. Make sure to keep your tension even. Once you have your chain, join it with a slip stitch to the first chain to form a circle. Be careful not to twist the chain as you join.
2. Round 1: Chain 2 (this counts as your first half double crochet). Now, half double crochet (hdc) in each chain around the circle. To do a half double crochet, yarn over, insert your hook into the next stitch, yarn over again, pull through (you should have three loops on your hook), yarn over once more and pull through all three loops. After completing the round, join with a slip stitch to the top of the beginning chain-2.
3. Round 2: Chain 2 again. Now, you will alternate between front post double crochet (fpdc) and back post double crochet (bpdc). To do a front post double crochet, yarn over, insert your hook from the front to the back around the post of the next stitch, yarn over again, pull through (you should have three loops on your hook), yarn over and pull through two loops, yarn over and pull through the remaining two loops. For a back post double crochet, yarn over, insert your hook from the back to the front around the post of the next stitch, and follow the same steps as the fpdc. Repeat this pattern around the round, joining with a slip stitch to the top of the beginning chain-2 when finished.
4. Continue Rounds: Repeat Round 2 until your piece measures approximately 10 inches from the beginning. Make sure to keep your stitches consistent for an even texture.
5. Finish Up: Once your neck warmer reaches the desired length, fasten off your yarn by cutting it, leaving a tail of about 6 inches. Pull the tail through the last loop on your hook to secure it. Use your tapestry needle to weave in any loose ends, ensuring a clean finish.
