Update 12-31-2023: Happy New Year, creative friends! I originally shared this blog post a couple of weeks ago when you still had time to make all the projects discussed. If you already have yarn stashed, and you’re looking for last-minute New Year’s Eve craft project ideas, you still have time to make the neck warmer and jewelry mentioned below. You probably don’t have time for the shawl, but this is a fantastic time to get started on it anyway; you could have it ready for the holiday season in 2024.

Easy Crochet Neck Warmer Pattern for Beginners
There are a few people in my inner circle who enjoy throwing outdoor holiday parties. Even in California, where these people live, it is cold outside after dark in December and January. I created this neck warmer to wear to holiday parties like these where you want to dress up for the occasion, but you also want to stay warm. If you’re wearing this to a Christmas party or New Year’s Eve party, you’ll ideally want to choose a dressier coat than the casual merino wool jacket I’m wearing in the pics posted above.
