Welcome to the final week of the 2025 Wonderful Hats Crochet Along! Today we will make the Inlet Neck Warmer.
If you were here a few days ago, you may have already started, or even finished, your Inlet Beanie. Today we are going to learn how to make our matching neck warmer!
It may be the final week in this year’s crochet along, but don’t worry all of the crochet patterns will remain available here on Rich Textures Crochet and in my shops. Also continue to check back for more crochet patterns and stitch tutorials as I update weekly!
In our Inlet Neck Warmer crochet pattern we will continue to work rounds of texture similar to the matching beanie including the Trend Stitch. This is a wonderful cluster stitch pattern, that shows off a lot of texture, but that is also not too thick or dense.
The rounds of trend stitch are interspersed between rounds of half double crochet stitches worked in the third loop. They are a fun way to great texture and break up a solid pattern.
The Materials:
For the neck warmer, you will need about 200 yards of a medium/worsted weight yarn as well as a 5mm (H/8) crochet hook. I will provide the details about the specific yarn I used in the photos down below.
PDF Copies are available:
The crochet pattern for the Inlet Neck Warmer will be written out in full below followed by a free video tutorial. The pattern is free to follow on my site and will always be free! If, however, you would like a printable copy, you may purchase one from my Etsy and Ravelry Shops linked below:
