"A great alternative to a scarf, or cowl this winter is my Going Granny Neck Warmer. This simple granny stitch neck warmer is lightweight and it fits nicely around the neck. It can be tucked under the collar of your winter coat. There is not a lot of extra material to deal with as it is designed to keep some of the chill off the neck, without being bulky. If you are looking for a more solid version, the Easy Crochet Neck Warmer Pattern (free) features a double crochet rib stitch and does not have the gaps between the stitches."

Papiocreek Rib Stitch Scarf
I love the look of crochet rib stitch. This scarf plays with the classic ribs stitch. By combining repeats of different stitches, you end up with a scarf that has one side with thinner textured stripes and the other side with a wider textured stripes. This scarf is reversible with no wrong side. The pattern uses bulky weight yarn so it can be worked up in an afternoon. This pattern can be made with other weight yarns with minimal adjustments being made to the pattern. "
