Nothing looks or feels more cosy than a soft scarf wrapped around your neck, especially when the winds of late autumn are becoming more chilly.
Cowl neck scarves, neck warmers, circle or infinity scarves, whatever you call them, they keep the cold at a distance.
Wrapped around your neck once or double wrapped, they are accessories adding colour and texture to your jacket, coat or sweater.
The rectangles are easy to knit with edges that can be sewn together making a closed circle or zippered, buttoned and laced together for more flexibility.
The book featured above is filled with creative ideas, a lovely addition to any knitter's library, a great gift idea for that special knitter.

Read on and be inspired by designs featuring different ideas for stitch patterns and closures, how to determine size and 4 free patterns to get started making your chill chaser.

Design Files - Inspiration, Keyhole Scarves

Design Files - Inspiration, Keyhole Scarves
You can never have too many accessories, especially scarves that are warm but not bulky under lighter spring coats and jackets.
Instead of tying the scarf into a knot, the keyhole or slit allows the one end to slip through and keeps the scarf flatter, closer to the body.
These small keyhole scarves are great for spring when you still need a little protection against the wind but hopefully the worst of the harsh weather has passed us by and Spring is on it's way. I said....hopefully!
Happy Knitting!
