Ribbed Neck Gaiter

Cuddly like a turtle neck, the ribbed neck gaiter is a must have winter accessory for men, women, and children! It doubles as a hat, a ponytail cap, headband, ski mask, neck warmer, scarf and more. Wear it alone or in addition to other winter accessories. Since it does not have dangly ends, it is ideal for those who snowmobile or work outside in wintery conditions. Stash one in the car so its handy for when you clear snow and ice from the windows or in case of a winter breakdown.

The 1 by 1 ribbing allows plenty of stretch sideways so one-size really does fit all. However, I do make them shorter for the kids and the ladies. Make a bunch in various colors and have this quick gift ready and waiting! They knit up is just minutes and take just a little longer to finish.

Watch the video tutorial How to Machine Knit the Cuddly Neck Gaiter for even more tips! You will learn how to create the perfect cast-on for the ribbing, how to knit the gaiter, and how to do the perfect bind off and lastly how to seam the gaiter. Plus, you will find that the cast on and bind-off edges look, feel and stretch so much alike, you will have a hard time telling them apart!

Since you only need 4 oz or less of worsted weight yarn, you’ll rid your stash of lots of partial skeins. And because the ribbed neck gaiter is so easy to knit it makes an ideal charity project too!
