Neck scarf
Peculiarities

A scarf with a neckline and shoulders will become an indispensable accessory in a winter wardrobe. It is easy to knit it yourself, knitting or crocheting without special skills.
A scarf with a neckline or shirt-front, is a poncho with a throat and shortened to the middle of the chest or along the shoulder line. Sometimes the shirt front has a neckline that is folded in two, resembling a sweater. Due to its shape, this accessory is able to protect not only the neck, but also the chest and back from wind and frost.
But it is a mistake to believe that a scarf with a neckline and shoulders is only a winter option. If it is knitted of a thin thread, then it can be safely worn on a cool summer evening as a cape.
There are several types of scarf with a neck and shoulders. It all depends on the implementation of the shirt front. If it is knitted, then it can be seamless with a simple design. Or with decorative connectors. They act not only as a decorative element, but also from a practical point of view, especially if it is a children's scarf.
In addition to decor and knitting, scarves with a throat also differ in the technique of execution. It depends on who the scarf is knitted for. Women's models can be filled with various ornaments and decorative elements. Men's models are more restrained, laconic and limited to minimalist patterns in the Scandinavian style or bumps and braids.

How to tie a neckline?

Let's consider the first option.
On the needles, loops are typed in multiples of four. Then they are knitted with an elastic band along the height of the neck. After that, all the loops are, as it were, divided into four parts, both at the beginning and at the end of each part, two are knitted into one loop. Work the required number of rows in this manner and close the loops.
