Ravelry is great for new inspiration. I spotted the Luxe Neck Warmer from the book Knit 2 Together. Unfortunaltey I couldn't buy the book (need to watch my finances). So I studied the projects I liked and made up my very own version of the neck warmer and as I made it out of cashmere I named it the Cashmere Neck Warmer (original don't you think?).
I used a stitch from a stich dictionary that is very easy. I knitted it in the round and it's just 3 rows of knitting, 1 row of the pattern. The impact of that one row is great and the result is this very lovely piece that I want to wear every day. It's so comfy and soft. I'm well pleased with it.
The pattern:
Cashmere Neck Warmer
5.0 mm circular needle (us 8)
3 skeins of Debbie Bliss Pure Cashmere
I used 2 and some left over, total weight of project is 70 grams, which is just under 3 skeins (= 75 grams). This made me able to repeat the pattern for 17 times, but you can make it as long as you like. I placed stitch markers ever 18 sts, makes it easier.
Cast on 90 sts. Place Marker & join. Knit in the rounds following pattern:
1: K all
2: K all
3: K all
4: P2tog 3x, k1 & yo 6x, P2tog 3x
Repeat until desired lenght
K all for 2 rounds
Bind of and work in ends.

It's lovely!! I may have to make one for myself :)
It's so soft and warm...perfect for winter and also spring! Nice work improvising, looks fab.
I am having such a hard time with this (I'm an medium beginner) when I am knitting the pattern row I am ending up with too many stitches (the K1 and YO1 is leaving me with 18 stitches, plus the 3 on either end for the p2 tog ends up with a total of 24 stitches instead of 18). What am I doing wrong?
Hi TKN,
Thank you for your post. I'm not sure you are doing it right. The stitch pattern should work like this:
A: knit 2 stitches together 3x. This results in 3 stitches.
B: Knit 1 and make 1 yarn over straight after, do this 6x. This makes 12 stitches + the 3 from before is 15 stitches
C: knit 2 stitches together again, again 3x. With the 15 stitches from before this makes 18 stitches.
All I can think of is that you must be doing the K1 & YO1 too often. Perhaps 9 times instead of 6. If you still can't work it out please mail me on

replace .at and .dot with symbols (must post like this else I get lots of spam as they have bots that search for email addresses in blogs)
Aren't you a doll for sharing this pattern! And aren't you brilliant for making it up! Thanks!
