Waffle Neckwarmer Scarflette Mini Scarf to Crochet

A scarf can provide comfort and warmth on a cold day, but a long scarf can get in the way or be too bulky. Why not opt for a mini scarf or neckwarmer to warm things up for you?

This neckwarmer pattern is crocheted using the FPDC (front post double crochet) stitch and is very quick and easy to work up, even for a novice or someone new to the craft of crochet. Photos of how to complete the FPDC can be found here.

The waffle-look stitch makes this neckwarmer suitable for a man, but pretty enough for a woman. Yarn in a solid color will show the waffle pattern more prominently, while it will be slightly less noticeable if using a camouflage or variegated yarn.

The pattern works up very quickly, so make several in various colors - neutrals to match everything, and brights to bring a bit of sunshine to an otherwise gloomy day. Keep a few on hand for gift-giving.

Large needle to weave in ends
2-3 Buttons (about the size of a penny)

Abbreviations Used:
