Koigu^TM Neck Cozy The neck cozy and I have always been inseparable winter evenings, but during the week in which our furnace broke down, I wore it night and day when at home. Naturally, the furnace failed during the wee hours of one of the coldest days of the year! When it snagged and got a hole, I decided that I had better knit a back up. In the meantime my sister and a girlfriend each requested one.

Two things make this neck warmer amazing: the premium (soft), hand-painted merino yarn and the lightweight, compact design. Read more ... for knitting tips and pattern information.

Neck WarmerWhen I was looking for a green mix yarn, I purchased a hand-painted Koigu yarn from Patternworks and knitted the free Koigu ^TM Neck Cozy pattern that came with it.

Design Features: Designed by Karen Ko, this compact neck warmer features a travelling rib stitch and garter stitch bow created by passing the leaf-shaped ends through a contiguous knitted loop. This allows a fit as snug as you wish that won't come undone, whatever the activity, reading or walking.
