I love scarves. And I love the ones you can wear as part of your outfit...not just to keep you warm when you go out in the cold.

A couple of years ago, I got a knit cowl very similar to this Knit Neck Warmer ($9.99 on sale) from Urban Outfitters. It can be draped over my head as a hood, can be worn hung low (as seen) for extra warmth with a tee, and can also be worn double wrapped to a cozy neck warmer. I have one in a caramel color and am wearing it right now. Cozy.

Then I found this Necklush!

Necklush ($40) from necklush nyc comes in many colors. Sure, it's a little pricey, but I think I would get a lot of use out of it. Made of many free form loops, the necklush can be worn in lots of ways -- drape it long or wrap it around neck to have that turtleneck feel.

I bet lots of ladies who knit know exactly how to make this. I want to learn!

If you have any tips, please share.

The first one is okay but the second one just looks like she wrapped yarn around her neck. Just go buy a skein of yarn from the dollar store and wrap it on if you want that look! Save yourself $39.
