You hate the cold wind blowing down your neck, but you also can’t stand the added bulk of having scarf ends tucked under your coat, or wrapped around your neck like a brace. Well, the Pocket Scarf is just the accessory for you!

Pocket Scarves are perfect for any cold weather occasion, whether you tuck them just under the collar of your coat or wear them with a sweater. They’ll keep you much warmer than just a top layer would, and add a touch of color and interest to any outerwear. They’re great for men, women, and children, and can simply be stashed in a pocket or bag when not in use (hence their name).

One size fits most adults, and it can easily be adjusted to fit your bodybuilder friends with thick necks.

YOU WILL NEED:
• approx 2oz (60g) bulky weight (9wpi) yarn
• US13 (9mm) needles
• Tapestry needle for finishing
• matching buttons, purchased AFTER knitting is complete

YOU SHOULD KNOW HOW TO:
Cast on, bind off, knit, purl, decrease by knitting or purling two stitches together

Please note that you can substitute any bulky weight yarn in this pattern. I personally prefer fluffy animal fiber singles, especially in variegated colorways. This pattern lends itself nicely to handspun yarn, thanks to the extreme flexibility in sizing.
