This Warm and Cozy Collar Scarf is a compact knitted neckwarmer with a simple rustic look. Its thick garter-stitch fabric, overlapping front and two large buttons create a cozy accessory without the long ends of a traditional scarf.
If this particular design brought you here, this guide will help you understand its construction and the features to look for in a similar knitting pattern.
This design appeared in the older Amazing Knitting archive, but during our latest review we could not verify a current authorized source for the exact original pattern shown in the photograph.

Collar Scarf at a Glance
Project: Collar scarf / neckwarmer
Main Texture: Garter stitch
Closure: Two buttons
Style: Chunky, warm and compact
Current Status: Exact authorized pattern source unverified
Why This Design Works
The appeal of this neckwarmer comes from its simplicity. Thick yarn and garter stitch create a soft, substantial fabric, while the overlapping ends allow the collar to sit closely around the neck.
The two large buttons are both practical and decorative, giving the otherwise simple knitted fabric a distinctive finished look.
A Good Project Style for Newer Knitters
Buttoned collar scarves are useful projects for practicing basic knitting because they can be much smaller than full-length scarves. Garter stitch also creates a textured fabric without requiring complicated stitch combinations.
If you make a similar design from another pattern, pay attention to the finished neck circumference and button placement. Those details determine how comfortably the collar overlaps and sits around the neck.
A soft bulky yarn is well suited to this type of project because the fabric will be worn directly against the neck. Make a small swatch first if the yarn feels rough or unusually stiff.
