Rainbow Askew

Neck warmers do so much heavy lifting in cold weather. They nestle just so between our necks and the collar of our jackets, filling up the space with warmth and blocking the winds. I prefer my neck warmers knit on the bias - the fabric stands nicely and the diagonal line means I get so much sweeping colour. Rainbow Askew also delivers a very ‘more-ish’ knitting experience with the marling and colour play.

The Rainbow Askew neck warmer is designed for maximum colour fun - and that means ends! But that doesn't mean you have to weave them in at the end. Knit them in as you go and be pleased as punch when you're all finished. Check out the video tutorial linked in the pattern.
