"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."
