Quick and Easy Polo Style Crochet Neck Warmer





Quick and Easy Polo Scarf

Robyn's Beret and Polo Style Neck Warmer Free Crochet Pattern

I first made this polo style neck warmer to match Robyn's Beret.
It is very quick to make up and uses a small amount of yarn, you can make several of these to match your favorite outfits. They look great with or without a decorative touch, perfect for a broach placement, but most of all perfect for keeping out the cold.
