Knitting Badge Neckerchief

Knitting Badge Neckerchief

This cute little garter neckerchief is a must have for summer, or when you just want to feel like you are in the scouts. The Knitting Badge Neckerchief can easily be whipped up in one sitting, although you could make it any size you want and if you make it really large it might not be that quick. Use cotton or linen yarn for a cute summer accessory or wool for a little neck warmer for early spring and autumn.

Knit this with any yarn and on any size needles, following the simple repeat until you get a size you’re happy with. The samples made on 2,5mm needles work perfectly to tie around your neck and the one made on 4mm needles look great with a small ring to keep it in place.
