The Vili Neckwarmer was designed for quarter 2 (Necks) of the Head 2 Toe with Kino & Jo knitalong (KAL), a year-long event with Kino Knits and Jesie Ostermiller. Throughout 2022, knit a pattern in specific categories by either designer for the chance to win prizes!

This 2-color neck warmer is the ideal solution to the cold neck problem! Less bulky than a large, double wrapped cowl or shawl, it’s super easy to slip on over the head and walk out the door. It’s knit seamlessly in the round as a tube and then inverted on itself and grafted end-to-end using Kitchener stitch. The inside of the neck warmer is worked in ribbing so that it hugs slightly tighter to the neck and keeps out the cold air!
