This Waffle Stitch Scarf Neck Warmer is the perfect knitting project to keep you cozy. This design uses the Waffle Stitch Knitting Pattern and is an easy level project of knits and purls knitted flat on straight needles, perfect for everyone who has completed my Absolute Beginner Knitting Series.
Edged in the Garter Stitch with the body in a Waffle Stitch design, both stitches are from pages 3 and 25 of my new Knit Stitch Pattern Book, available online in print and digital worldwide. I hope you have fun knitting up the perfect neck warmer scarf!
