Man’s Neck Warmer:

Designed to scrunch, roll or fold and wear under a

sweatshirt, jacket, or other cold weather apparel. This

to create a mock turtleneck) but made larger and bulk-

ier for extra warmth.

Ideal for hunters and those working in cold environ-

ments this neck warmer works up quickly and is per-

fect for those learning to crochet.

Insert hook in the next stitch (ch sp) to be worked.

Yarn over hook while hook still inserted in ch sp.

Pull yarn through stitch (ch sp).

Yarn over hook. You will have 3 loops on the hook.

Pull yarn through all 3 loops on hook—Hdc made.

Slip Stitch (SST) Used as a finishing or sewing stitch, sometimes as the featured stitch

in a garment or other accessory.
