Easy Crochet Chunky Neck Warmer Pattern

This Easy Crochet Chunky Neck Warmer Pattern is a quick crochet pattern that uses the double crochet stitch alternating between the back and front loops. This creates beautiful texture. Read on for three different looks created by various colors and button combinations.

Are you ready to elevate your winter style with a touch of handmade warmth and charm? We’re excited to introduce you to a delightful chunky free crochet neck warmer pattern that not only works up quickly but also boasts a stunning texture that is sure to turn heads.

Easy Crochet Stitches

Whether you’re a seasoned crochet enthusiast or just getting started with this addictive craft, this pattern promises to be a rewarding and enjoyable project that you’ll cherish for years to come.

This pattern uses basic stitches like double crochet stitches. The lovely texture comes from working alternatively in the front loop and the back loop as you work the rows.

I used super bulky yarn for this pattern; however, it would look great in any medium to super bulky yarn. You can even hold two strands of medium yarn together and crochet as you would using a chunky yarn.

Digging into My Yarn Stash – Yikes!

If you are a yarn crafter like me, you probably have a yarn stash somewhere. I’ve seen plenty of others yarn stashes on social media. Well, I was doing very good in keeping it relatively under control until the last few months. There were so many sales!

Needless to say, my daughter even commented…”Mom, you have quite a lot of yarn all over the place in my old bedroom.” Hum, I think it is time to use what I have and restrain myself from buying more for a while anyway.

What’s even more exciting is the versatility of this pattern – with just a few tweaks in color and button choices, you can achieve three completely different looks

Raid your Yarn Stash

This Chunky Neck Warmer was crocheted in three different colors. Each neck warmer is made from 2 skeins of chunky yarn. In keeping with the theme of using what I have, these were the only colors that I had two skeins of the color. I still think they turned out beautiful.

The buttons were also raided from my button jars. My daughter and I had all of the buttons from 3 quart jars out on the table. This helped us sift through them and find matching buttons that would work. I think that the buttons we chose paired beautifully with the yarn for a very stylish look.

Quick Crochet Pattern

This crochet pattern works up very quickly. It is -25 degrees Fahrenheit here. Yup, negative 25…very dangerously cold. There are many businesses and schools closed. So, I am home and love the chance to stay warm and crochet. I made all three neck warmers in two days. Yes, a quick project and simple stitches.

Update, my friends and my daughter’s co-workers love this so much, I have now made more than three. I don’t mind. I love this one too. It makes a perfect gift. It’s such a beautiful cowl.

First Crochet Neck Warmer

This one was made from two skeins of Lion Brand Hometown USA Super Bulky yarn in San Diego Navy. You can get the yarn here if you can’t find it locally. The three buttons are 1 inch cloth covered buttons.

Second Crochet Chunky Neck Warmer

We had to dig through a number of plastic totes to find a few more colors that have two skeins. This next neck warmer was made from two skeins of Lion Brand Wool-Ease Thick & Quick River Run yarn. If you can get the yarn here if can’t find it locally. The buttons are from the button jar. There are 4 buttons about 3/4 inch in diameter.

Third Crochet Chunky Neck Warmer

Working this pattern in the Los Angeles Tan really helps show off the texture of this beautiful crochet pattern. It was the last two skeins we had of the chunky yarn too, but it turned out very nice.

This cowl is finished off with three large buttons that are approximately 1 1/2 inches in diameter – again from my button jar. If you would like to make this pattern in the Los Angeles Tan yarn; it is available here.

This easy pattern makes the perfect accessory in the cold weather.

The chain three at the beginning of each row counts as the first stitch, double crochet.

Chain 90

Row 1:

In the fourth CH from the hook, DC and in each ST across. Turn

Row 2:

CH 3 (counts as DC), BLDC in the first ST from the hook and in each ST across. Turn

Row 3:

CH 3 (counts as DC), FLDC in the first ST from the hook and in each ST across. Turn

Rows 4-10:

Repeat the stitch pattern for rows 2 and 3.

Finishing Hints:

After the last stitch, leave a long yarn tail; approximately 15-20 inches. This will give you enough yarn to sew the ends together to form the neck warmer. However, before the neck warmer is sewn together, sew the buttons on and sew the other yarn ends in and cut off the excess yarn.

Here are photos of the assembly

In this photo, I was aligning the buttons and sewing them on. (prior to joining the edges of the neck warmer).

Sewing the ends together.

Note, you could put the buttons on the opposite ends from what I chose and they would end up on the right side. I chose to put mine on the right side, and I placed the right side over the left side.

The key is to make sure that the ends come to a point. Once you have the ends positioned where you like, sew through both layers with the long tail of yarn. Weave in the ends and cut off the excess.

If you prefer to use the crochet hook to join the ends, you can use the slip stitch (SL ST). To work this, you just insert the crochet hook, pull up a yarn loop and pull it through the loop on the hook.
