Finish off and weave in any loose ends.

For ‘assembly’ you have 3 options.

Option one: sew (or slip stitch) the seam at the back of the neck to make it permanently closed (this means you have to slide it over your head to wear it)

Option two: use small buttons to make it easy to put it on without sliding it over your head (so you won’t mess up your hair!). This will also make it adjustable to fit more comfortably for different neck sizes.

Option three: Add a tie in the same color of yarn to tie it in place and then tuck those tie ends beneath the neckline, where they will remain hidden under your coat.

    Hi Kathy, the stitch repeat is a multiple of 3. If you are doing foundation double crochet you need to do 63 Fdc. I updated the instructions to note this – I seem to have made a typo and had 64 there! Hope this helps 🙂 You would need to decrease in sets of 3 stitches until you reach the desired width and then proceed with the instructions (knowing that the row end counts will be different). Turning chains and such would not be changing. All the best, Rhondda

    Rhondda, thank you for this free pattern! I need to decrease the foundation row as my neck is small (12″) and the 64 initial stitches measure 16″. So could you please list the multiples for decrease and increases plus the add on chains for turning? I don’t see them on the pattern. Thx much!

    Hello, Rhondda, your Winter Neck Kerchief is really pretty. I wish I could make it. You provide the details and I will give someone else to make it for me. By the by, thanks for your pattern instructions.
