The crochet Granny Square Neck Warmer and Scarf is adorned with a playful tweed yarn edging. It’s an ideal crochet project for a bit of self-indulgence. This delightful accessory not only keeps you warm but also adds a touch of handmade charm to your wardrobe.

In the picture below I’m wearing the granny square neck warmer and using my photo editing skills to pretend I’m on a fancy vacation somewhere.

I love combining different yarns in a project. I used Berroco Vintage in Guava for the main color and Berroco Millstone Tweed in Ash for the contrasting color. The smooth Vintage yarn granny square pattern combined with the unique texture of the tweed, creates a visually appealing and cozy piece.

The Neck Warmer size pattern is free as part of the 2025 Gift to Myself Crochet Along, being organized by Underground Crafter. On weekdays from January 2 through January 31, 2025, she will share a free crochet pattern each day that you can make for yourself.

Ready to treat yourself to an upgrade?

Below, you will find all the information you need to make the neck warmer size I’m wearing in the photo. It’s the perfect small size to provide extra warmth without bulk. If you buy the Granny Tweed Pattern PDF, you’ll get a pdf file with all of the following:

  • PDF with the pattern (print it at home or email it to your Kindle)
  • Crochet symbol diagrams for the pattern.
  • Information to make 2 additional sizes, a regular length scarf and a super-sized scarf. This includes the yarn amounts you will need and the instruction changes for these sizes.

Granny Tweed Neck Warmer Crochet Pattern

Technique

Crochet

Skill Level

Easy

Finished Measurements

10.5 inches wide x 31.25 inches long

Materials

218 yds worsted weight yarn (MC)

82 yds bulky weight yarn (CC)

See pattern notes for details

Sample made in Berroco Vintage #51193 Guava (MC) and Berroco Millstone Tweed #11105 Ash (CC)

US Size H/8 (5mm) crochet hook or size needed to obtain gauge

Tapestry needle

Stitch markers

Gauge

Granny Square = 4 inches square, before CC edging

11 dc = 3.25 inches

8 dc rows = 4.25 inches

Pattern Notes

Granny squares are made first. After seaming two squares together, stitches are picked up and half the scarf is worked. Then the two halves are joined.

The Contrasting Color yarn used in the sample is classified as a #5 bulky weight yarn. It was close enough to the #4 worsted weight yarn used as the Main Color to not require a change in hook size.

The sample used up the entire skein of MC. If you are not able to meet the stated gauge, you may want additional yardage.

Pattern

Granny Square

Make 4.

Rnd 1 (RS): With MC, starting with a magic ring, ch 5 (counts as dc and ch-2 here and throughout), [3 dc, ch 2] 3 times in ring, 2 dc in ring, join in 3rd ch of beginning ch-5. (4 3-dc groups, 4 corner ch-2 sps)

Rnd 2: Sl st in first ch-2 sp, ch 5, 3 dc in same ch-2 sp, (3 dc, ch 2, 3 dc) in each ch-2 sp around, 2 dc in first ch-2 sp, join in 3rd ch of beginning ch-5. (8 3-dc groups, 4 corner ch-2 sps)

Rnd 3: Sl st in first ch-2 sp, ch 5, 3 dc in same ch-2 sp, [3 dc in gap between next 2 3-dc groups, (3 dc, ch 2, 3 dc) in next ch-2 sp] 3 times, 3 dc in gap between next 2 3-dc groups, 2 dc in first ch-2 sp, join in 3rd ch of beginning ch-5. (12 3-dc groups, 4 corner ch-2 sps)

Rnd 4: Sl st in first ch-2 sp, ch 5, 3 dc in same ch-2 sp, [3 dc in each gap between 3-dc groups across to next corner ch-2 sp, (3 dc, ch 2, 3 dc) in corner ch-2 sp] 3 times, 3 dc in each gap between 3-dc groups across to first corner, 2 dc in first ch-2 sp, join in 3rd ch of beginning ch-5. Fasten off. (16 3-dc groups, 4 corner ch-2 sps)

Note: In Rnd 5, the center sc made in each corner ch-2 sp is the corner sc. It may be helpful to mark these with stitch markers.

Rnd 5: Pull up a loop of CC in any dc, ch 1, sc in same dc, [sc in each dc across to next corner ch-2 sp, 3 sc in corner ch-2 sp] 4 times, sc in each remaining dc, join with sl st in first sc. Fasten off leaving a long tail. (60 sc)

Scarf Half

Make 2

Note: If desired, weigh the remaining MC yarn with a scale in grams so you will know when you have used exactly half of it. This is not required.

Hold 2 Granny Squares with RS together. Using one long tail, seam squares together along one side edge, through the back bumps of the 14 sts between corner sc. Do not seam corner sc together. Once they are seamed together, each long edge will have a corner sc on each outer point and 2 corner sc next to each other in the middle.

Pull up a loop of MC in back bump of an outer corner sc before a long edge.

Row 1: Ch 3 (counts as first dc here and throughout), dc in back bump of each sc across to next corner sc of same Granny Square, dc2tog in back bumps of next 2 corner sc (1 on either side of seam), dc in back bump of each st across to next corner sc, dc in back bump of corner sc, turn. (31 sts)

On first Scarf Half only, place stitch marker in back bump of last sc worked into (for Edging).

Row 2: Ch 3, dc in each st across, turn.

Rep row 2 until approximately half the MC yarn is used or piece is half of desired scarf length. Fasten off.

For first Scarf Half only, leave a tail approximately 4 times the width of the scarf, for seaming.

Use remaining 2 granny squares for 2nd Scarf Half. There is no need to place a stitch marker or leave a very long tail on 2nd Scarf Half.

Finishing

Use long tail from first half to sew both halves together.

Edging

Note: The center st in each 3-sc group made in the outer corners in the new corner sc.

Join CC with sl st in marked back bump of sc.

Rnd 1: Ch 1, sc in same back bump, *sc in back bump of each st across to next corner sc, 3 sc in back bump of corner sc, sc in back bump of each st across to next granny corner sc, sc2tog in back bump of next 2 corner sc (1 on either side of seam), sc in back bump of each st across to next corner sc, 3 sc in back bump of corner sc, sc in back bump of each sc across to next corner sc, sc in back bump of corner sc, working in row ends, [ch 1, sc] in each dc row across to center seam, ch 1, [sc, ch 1] in each dc row across to next Granny Square*, sc in back bump of corner sc of Granny Square, rep between * once, join with sl st in beginning sc.
