Here's my pattern for the super-quick, super-easy, super-SNUGGLEY Pidge Podge neckwarmer!!
I've given the pattern in details of the yarn, needles etc that I used - but you'll see the pattern is dizzyingly straight forward, so can be easily adapted to suit whatever yarn your heart desires!

Needles: 10mm

Gauge: No specific gauge required - however mine was 8 sts&12rows /10cm
- Cast On 20 Stitches
- Work in 2x2 ribbing 'til measures approximately 65cm
- Cast off
- Using same yarn, perhaps reinforced with some strong thread, sew the buttons on to the Cast On end of the pidge, approximately 6 cms apart.
- Weave in all ends
- Find somewhere cool and windy, button on your new Pidge Podge and enjoy the delightful snuggliness!
NOTES:
The cast off edge will not be as flexible as the cast on edge, which gives the desired flared end to be the top layer of the pidge, and gives an elegant, somewhat dashing line to the finished, buttoned pidge angle.

No button holes are worked! This magic feat is accomplished by way of the large needles and slightly open gauge. The wearer is able to simply slot the buttons through the fabric of the pidge where-ever they fancy!
Enjoy!!

Huh? Did you make another one???? This is a different colour?
Awsum!
Much more convenient than long scarves on those commutey-type trips where you are always going from cold to hot to cold again.
You rock :)
That's a great pattern - so simple & yet the FO is so elegant & useful. You are a genius!
Thank you for sharing the pattern. I saw the picture of your FO on the Gift Along and love it. A quick finish project is just perfect sometimes espcially if it makes something useful! :0)
Love this ... many thanks!
Must try! Going to get yarn for this one this afternoon!
Thanks for this - easy, quick, fun project and great for using up left overs!
I'm using this pattern to teach some friends to knit this afternoon. Big needles and a single skein = very satisfying knitting for a first timer. As a bonus, I'll be able to finish one for my brother's girlfriend by Christmas. Thanks!!!
