The “Grown-Up” Neck Wrap

The Grown-Up Neck Wrap by Elizabeth Okeyele-Olatunji reimagines a simple poncho as a lightweight, V-shaped lace scarf. Worked in cotton yarn, this project features a repeating eyelet mesh motif shaped with yarn-over increases along right-side rows. Measuring 47″ wide × 37″ long [119 × 94cm], the scarf offers a graceful drape and a touch of sophistication. Techniques include yarn-overs, k2tog decreases, and purl rest rows, making it an engaging project for intermediate-level knitters. The pattern includes a detailed schematic, clear stitch instructions, and finishing options like tassels or pins for personalization, resulting in a versatile, modern accessory.
