Here in the south we’ve gotten to the part of winter than may be even more aggravating than regular winter. The part when some days are warm and some days or cold. Or it’s way below freezing in the morning and above 50 in the afternoon.

No one knows what to wear and everyone has the sniffles, but we’re also all pretty sure there’s still a snowfall waiting for us before spring really arrives.
With that in mind I always like to have a few warm accessories on the needles to freshen up my wardrobe for those late winter cold snaps. And it’s only February so chances are most of us in the Northern Hemisphere still have a lot of winter to go.
With that in mind, here are some great, mostly pretty quick knitting, scarves and other accessories you still have time to knit and use this season.
The Tricolor Scarf from Lion Brand uses a simple stitch pattern and color blocking through intarsia and stripes to make a pattern that looks more complicated than it is (but chart reading for colors is required).
The Big Textures Hat and Shaker Rib Great Cowl from Yarnspirations both use their gigantic Mega Bulky yarn and large knitting needles so you’ll be done — and warm — in a flash.
Susan B. Anderson’s Twister Scarf for Spud & Chloe is a simple looped project with ribbing on one side, a ruffle on the other and Stockinette Stitch in between. On size 9 US needles it will work up faster than you think, too.
The Accordion Scarf from Universal Yarn uses a great self-striping yarn and a welted pattern to make an easy, colorful scarf with a lot of texture.
For a quick project with a lot of interest, try the Manos Maxima Bias Scarf, which features biased Garter Stitch and a ribbed cable edging.
What are you knitting to stay warm this winter? I’d love to hear about it.
