My favorite way to layer is to wear a cooler blouse or sweater underneath a crocheted vest or sweater. Then add a scarf and if I get too warm, I can start taking off a layer or two at a time.
very inspritional
ALWAYS HAVE SOMETHING IN THE MAKING! JUST LOVE TO KNIT FOR MY FAMILYTOO!
I live in South Carolin and we don’t really have what you call cold weather to require a lot of layering clothes, of course, I guess that really depends on the individual person. For me, I just enjoy a sweater and scarf. I love the cold air.
The best way is to wear a warm pullover, socks and boots
Fall is a great time to wear vests and cardigans while finishing knitting Christmas presents as fast as possible.
Long sleeve t-shirts, fluffy sweaters and warm vests!! And of course, shawls and hats!!
I like a light weight long sleeve shirt with a cardigan and hand knit socks from my grandmother-in-law. If it is cold enough I add ear warming headbands my mother knit for me.
I’ve ventured out of mt comfort zone and have recently taken up knitting & I would make cozy warm socks for all my loved ones myself included
My favorite to layer-up in the fall and winter months is to wear a thermal shirt underneath my t-shirt, sweater or sweatshirt.. then throw on a warm crocheted hat and soft, fluffy knitted scarf when I go outside.
I love to feel warm and cozy being in layers with soft yarn, just wonderful !!!
I start with a long sleeve shirt then one of my favorite hand knit yak sweaters. They are so warm and soft. Then wrap and scarf around my neck and and put on another heavier hand knitted yak sweater. Since I sit in a wheelchair, my final layers are mitts, hat and a lap blanket. Oh so cozy!
My way of layering are shawls, vests, knitted accessories and when it is very cold I put a thick but light shawl on my shoulders around my neck is on top of the coat I wear.
I wear a homemade shawl on top of my coat.
Jeans, light shirt, sweater, crocheted scarf, crocheted wrist warmers, topped off with a cute crocheted hat.
Sweaters
I layer up for winter by wearing long sleeve t shirt with either a sweater or vest. I’m just getting into wearing scarves and learning the different ways to tie and twist them. And of course I have to wear some very warm socks. I havent knitted any socks yet but I have made some fingerless gloves.
My favorite way to layer is with the first crochet shrug I ever made of a fuscha merino wool variegated shading with purples and blues. A warm green jasmine tea sweetened with raw honey at my side and a size five hook in my hand with Bisou yarn turning in to a new creation of my design that includes beads and embroidery. The shrug warms my shoulders. The honey makes me stronger. The tea warms my body and the Bisou yarn sparks my imagination for dreams of woven magic in the future.
I like to layer my clothes. I like all the new cowl patterns they have out. Keeps your neck warm
It does not get too cold in S.C.,so I just wear a shawl and a scarf.That’s plenty for me.
I start with the initial layer from the inside out. That is where the warmest part of me begins. Then I add some of my beautiful knitted projects to finish the layering.
Favorite way of layering is sweaters, scarves and mittens.
My favorite way to layer, when it’s cold, is to use a sweater with a warm cozy shawl.
I like to layer by starting with a camisole (or tank top), then a v-neck t-shirt or 3/4 sleeve soft jersey shirt…followed by cardigan with sleeves pushed up and jersey sleeve pulled down to show, then I add a colorful long scarf…finally, a hooded jacket…coordinating colors etc…
Sometimes I put a thin vest just under the cardigan or an out doorsy quilted/fleece vest on outside of cardigan…depending on mood and weather… : ) Plenty of options when it gets warmer in the afternoon!!
My favorite layer would be if inside I would wear a turtle neck and then my nice a soft shawl that I made over. For out door I would wear sweater and then my hat scarf over keeping my head and next warm at the same time.
Scarves, sweaters, fitted and knitted hats!
I like to wear a light shirt with a warm coat when I’m out if the house. At home I like to have an afghan (usually one in wearing) on my lap. ☺️
I like to layer something cool and lightweight on the bottom followed by a poncho or shawl!
I love long sleeve shirts with a bulky knit pull over sweater on top, Jeans and thick, warm socks. You need to stay warm in these North Georgia mountains.
How do I like to layer for cold weather?
With layers of love!
Snuggle on the couch with a handmade crochet afghan, underneath wearing a fall vest over a sweater I crochet in warm, soft, rustic colors. I like to wear finger-less mittens that keep my fingers warm, but still pliable while drinking hot chocolate or using my laptop. Even my toes get the treatment with fun crocheted socks and slippers. Crochet is the language of warmth and comfort on freezing nights and breezy days.
For outdoors, I put a tank top, thermal.or long sleeve shirt, then cozy sweater. For indoors I snuggle.up with an afghan or two depending on how cold it is…I’m very cold-blooded.
My favorite way to layer for cold weather is to put the plane ticket on top, then the cruise ticket ticket under that. I am sure to keep all the itinerary information in a folder together so nothing gets lost. (that’s the kink of layers you’re talking about right?)
Just in case you mean staying here in Canada where it’s cold – *sigh* – I often wear a long sleeved shirt under a warm sweater or blazer. (But I prefer the tickets in the folder idea!)
I like a light layer of cotton next to my skin and then as much wool as I can get! Winters are COLD here in NH!
The first layer has to be a light weight thermal that close to your body. That’s a definite. Next is a long sleeve top, followed by a hooded sweatshirt and then a jacket. I just finished making my first cowl so I would try to include it it as one of the layers!
With t-shirts under sweaters
I just discovered cashmere…if only I could afford more of it 😉
I usually wear dresses so I like all the underwear associated with that and then sweaters, scarves, socks….anything warm!
A long sleeved tee or sweater and a shawl that I can take off if necessary (I don’t have to take it off very much!).
I use a long sleeve cotton top then add a blouse/tee, a jacket is next, the scarves, gloves. If it is really cold I top everything with a fleece cape.
I love my shawls.
I like a t-shirt, a sweatshirt, a light sweater, and then a coat. If it is REALLY cold ( below zero)you add in two pairs of gloves and a scarf LOL
A favorite way to layer is a long sleeve skirt or blouse under a knitted pullover and layer it with a nice wool jacket or coat. Scarves, gloves, socks, and boots are also required.
I put on a turtleneck and then a vest or sweater on top. If it’s too cold, I will put the turtleneck, vest or sweater, ear muffs, cowl and gloves. Last winter I used the above listed and a fleece jacket. Kept me warm all day.
If I’m home, the heater does a great job!
I usually wear a long- or three-quarter length cotton shirt, and then either wear a cardigan, vest or shawl over that, depending on the weather forecast. I also have a knee-length alpaca cape that I wear when it’s really cold.
A long sleeve shirt underneath whatever I’m wearing, plus a sweater and maybe a hat if I’ll be outside for very long.
In the house, blankets!! Fleece or crocheted, doesn’t matter.
Such a pretty idea. I love my crafts!
Put on a t-shirt, then layer with a nice sweater or a fleece.
I do love to layer a tank top under a sweater and add a scarf. I love layers and I love fall and winter for letting me do that.
Cute tee shirt then a cute sweater then a really adorable scarf… maybe a sweet little hat too and you can’t forget fingerless gloves! 😉 (and scarf, hat and gloves would all be hand crocheted by me! 😉
Cowls and scarves!
Layers are the only way to dress for colder weather. I love hats, scarves, capelets and shrugs over simple light shirts.
My favorite way to layer is with sweaters!
I love wearing layers in the fall and winter. Especially with a hand made best or sweater.
I love wearing turtlenecks and sweaters.
Cowls and scarves!!
I like scarves and gloves and shawls!
I love layering with shawls and cardigans.
Lots of thin layers usually topped off with an oversized scarf, that’s the way to go!
long sleeve tshirt… sweater/sweatshirt over top…
My favorite way to layer is to start with a tank top followed by a blouse and than topped with my favorite sweater.
My fav way to “layer” in the winter is with an infinity scarf, slouch hat and a long sleeve shirt with pants.. Not one for coats.. 😉
I like to layer a sleeveless top under a blouse with a cardigan or when it’s really cold a turtleneck under a sweater with cardigan.
I live in the Northeast USA, layering is essential year round! Tank, blouse, sweater, wristers, a shawl or cowl. Then you can peel off or layer on as the weather changes, which is about every 5 minutes around here!
I like to wear a turtle neck with either a sweater or a vest over the top.
I will wear an under armour shirt underneath especially if I know I’m going to be outside for a while. Then, I put on whatever other shirt I want over it. Warm, down coat goes on top then scarf hat and mittens 🙂
Sweaters and handmade crochet infinity scarves, layering is easy with scarves! 🙂
I have loved Fall and sweaters since I was a kid! Missouri has great Fall colors and weather, perfect for sweaters and scarves
I later starting with a light tshirt the add a thermal or long sleeve shirt,sweater,jacket and add a scarf it shawl.
I love scarves and small shawls
My favorite way to layer is a long sleeved cotton shirt followed by a warm sweater and a soft knit scarf….wristers, too!
I usually wear a long sleeve tee that I can easily add layers to. Being in California, our winters are mild compared to other areas, and I usually need to add a layer rather than remove one.
I dress in layers on cold days. Years ago, I moved to upstate New York, where the winters are very cold. That’s where I learned the importance of layering. I too, love a cotton long sleeved tee, under any type of sweater, or poncho. I’ve even made a few of my own!
I usually have a tank top, T-shirt, sweater, & scarf. and a nice home-knit blanket for sitting on the couch with my little one.
Love love love my sweaters 🙂
I like to start with a light knit undershirt. Over that goes a tee-shirt a ad a nice bulky sweater over that. No coat needed!
I like to wear a sweater with a larger coat or jacket
sweater over a shirt and snuggled under an afghan with sleeeves when possible
During the.day around here in NH the weather can change quite a bit so I love layering easy to take on and off sweaters over cotton shirts and then come nighttime I love cozying up under the afghan my cousin made me. One of these days I hope to make myself a shawl to wrap up in, but I always get sidetracked making gifts for others 🙂
I loooooove wearing layers! Tank top followed by sweater and jeans is probably my favorite winter outfit. With a nice pea coat and an adorable crocheted ear warmer with a bow, you simply can’t beat it.
Tanks and vests. Arm warmers are a must. Falling in love with hooded cowls now lol
I like layer up with tank under soft sweater. Then curled up in my recliner sitting under one of my crocheted afghans, with my dogs piled up in my lap while I’m crocheting away.
I wear long johns, a vest to keep my back warm, crochet scarf that my daughter made and knitted gloves to keep my hands warm. I need a crochet or knitted vest because I think Yarn projects make clothes special. I think about how every project comes together, one stitch at a time.
Undershirt then a sweater. Mostly because you can’t trust a Texas winter to stay sweater weather the entire time.
My favorite way to layered in the winter is to wear camisoles or tank tops under my tops. I also like to wear small shawlettes to keep my shoulders and back warm.
I’m new to this layering thing- I just moved from Arizona to Montana- but so far I layer with a 3/4 sleeve top (my office is warm) a cardigan, a favorite scarf, & a heavier coat in top if needed.

Layering usually begins with a mock turtleneck, a seeater or knitted vest. Under the jeans are cuddle duds, too.
Layering is a MUST in Utah! Tank top, shirt, sweater, scarf, and jacket. People have tendency to turn up the heater way too much or not at all once the snow starts, so you’ve always gotta be prepared! I keep fingerless gloves at work as well!
I love cardigans! I have probably a dozen, to go with everything I own. I substitute teach, and the heat in every room in every school is different. Cardigans are the way to go. I’d love to stitch one up in BBR Shangri-La. I saw you guys in Jefferson WI this summer. AWEsome feel.
It doesn’t get real cold here but I do like a knit or crocheted vest and a cowl.
I am a scarf fiend…I wear lighter ones in the spring and summer…but I love my winter scarves!!

I love wrapping up in one of my own handmade blankets….my favorite one has a dragon embroidery on it ……I love quilting…and this year I get to wrap up with hand knit socks that I learned how to make just this year………the best thing….is that I got to make those for each of my children and husband as well….so they can be wrapped up and warm too…..
My favorite way to layer is to first have a comfortable shirt, preferably cotton. (I almost always wear jeans.) Then, I have a scarf, wrapped around twice. Next, I add either a cardigan or light sweater. Depending on the wind and weather, I may add a beanie or snow cap, and a jacket or coat. (Coats are only if EXTREMELY cold or raining~) Gloves are optional, unless temps fall below 20 degrees. If that occurs, then I love mittens that convert to finger-less gloves~

Tee or tank and a sweater. But…. I like Pam’s idea of plane tics on top of cruise tics!
I layer with a cardigan or shrug over a blouse or tee shirt and a neck warmer or cowl even indoors. When I go out I add hat,coat and gloves 🙂

I like to wear a long sleeve t and a cardigan on top. If I’m watching tv I like to cover my legs with my current afghan project.
A light weight shirt under maybe a sweater or something flannel. Then at night, flannel sheets, an afghan then a down alternative comforter.
Long sleeve tee under a hand knit cozy sweater or fleece.
I layer with long sleeves and then a warm shawl I made. I rarely wear a coat unless it’s 20ish degrees and I’m going to be out playing in the snow!
For cool weather, I like a tank top, scoop-necked long sleeved t-shirt and a lightweight cardigan. In cold weather, I’ll wear a t-shirt under a v-necked or scoop-necked sweater.
Nice warm shawl over my shoulders
If I’m going out, I wear a long sleeved shirt with a t-shirt over that, then a scarf I’ve made, then my heavy coat.
If I’m staying home, then I keep warm under the many projects I’ve been working up. Best way to stay warm AND stay productive!
I like to layer with a t-shirt, hoodie, and coat. Of course to top it off, I wear a knitted or crocheted hat 😉
I like to layer a camisole with a long sleeve cardigan and a Pashmina on my shoulders
I live in s. Texas so layering is rarely needed , but for me winter is spent with just a fleese sweater over my scrubs, if the wind is blowing i will wrap a crochet hooded scarf around my throat and ears, fleese gloves or crochet mittens if it is icey outside.
My favorite way to layer is a tank top under a sweater with a scarf…hand knits of course!
I really don’t like coats–too binding, for working outdoors, so I layer up with undershirt, long sleeved shirt, vest, cardi or loose jacket, and then a shawl or poncho over all. Very easy to switch out/rearrange layers as needed through the course of the day as temperatures in southern Indiana are prone to dip and soar ridiculously. Add a cozy knit hat, socks and fingerless gloves as needed and I’m good to go!
Living in Florida hardly ever requires layering, but I am headed to Germany soon and have light t shirts, followed by sweaters and then a down filled parka along with scarves an mittens and I am making myself a hat for the trip.
sweaters
I like to layer sweaters over short sleeved shirts. Then, if it’s cold enough, I add a scarf and hat. I have also been known to walk around the house wearing a blanket.
Love a lace scarf and fingerless mitts.
Knitted socks all winter!
I like to layer with ligh-weight tops, scarves and shawls. weather dictates weight and type of fiber… Knitted or woven, lace vs. worsted, etc.
On the couch, when permitted, bundled up in one of my knitting afghans, knitting another afghan or any other knitting project. If outside, bundled up in wool 🙂
Wooly socks … ’nuff said.
Turtleneck under a hoodie sweatshirt.
My favorite way of layering for the weather is by first T-shirt, then a sweater, and then a heavy sweater/coat…for my hands, I have bad circulation, so I put knitted gloves on the put mittens over them, so if I am outside and need to use my fingers, they still are protected by the gloves. 🙂
I live up north so in the fall and winter I start off with light sweather followed up with a shawl and scarf. And gloves. Can’t forget the gloves.
I love to warm up at home with sweaters and blankets, especially the afghan my great-grandmother crocheted for me about 35 years ago! My son loves to snuggle in it too 🙂
I doubt that I have much of a chance to win this, but I certainly would love to!!!
I like to use a cotton cami under my shirt and then add a knitted sweater vest. I also love headbands when it gets really cold to cover my ears.

I love a nice cozy sweater over a t-shirt. Top that with a nice warm blanket, a cup of hot chocolate and a good book and I’m ready to face the cold weather (indoors).
I normally wear a tshirt, covered in a sweatshirt, covered by a super thick coat (it’s VERY cold here).. but I’ve always wanted to make a shawl!!!
I am a t-shirt & jeans person year round, just putting on jackets of various weights depending on temperature, but since I discovered knitting I can think of many ways to layer. Add a scarf or cowl, fingerless mitts and maybe even a handcrafted cap.
A soft long sleeve shirt and then my favorite sweater is how I layer!
I love cowls!!!! I was recently looking through issues of knitting magazines- I save and found story of the wonderful Bison Ranch and a pattern using their fleece for a cowl- !!! Would love this!
If you are indoors most of the time, a light blouse or top and a sweater. Scarves are nice too.

I like to layer with a colorful cowl or a scarf.
I layer with thermal underware, mountain t-shirt,, and a sweatshirt, my handknitted wool socks also keep me toasty

Down vest over a long sleeve tee, knitted cowl, and my gorgeous Irish hand knit sweater!
I layer with a sweater, a jacket and a scarf/cowl.
I get hot easily so I layer a tank with a hoodie or a sweater, usually.
I have several cardigans that I wear over my other tops.
I star with a tank, then a long sleeved t-shirt, then a t-shirt, then an awesome sweater with a great big cowl neck! If I can’t find a cowl neck sweater, then I wrap a scarf around my neck and tie it off in an unusual way! 🙂
☆.•´¯`•.¸☆ .•´¯`•.¸☆.•´¯`•.¸☆ .•´¯`•.¸☆ I like to layer with different fibers, starting with cotton. My ace in the hole is to wear a wool scarf around my neck and pull it up, breath into it, and warm my face. ☆.•´¯`•.¸☆ .•´¯`•.¸☆.•´¯`•.¸☆ .•´¯`•.¸☆

I always start with a tank top, then a long sleeve shirt, usually a sweater or hoodie next and finally a big coat if it is really cold. I wear knee high socks under my jeans to help keep my legs warm.
My favorite way to layer is usually a cotton long sleeve shirt with a fleece vest and then a winter jacket. I’m planning on trying to crochet my first vest for myself so maybe it will become one of my favorite layers.
I tend to be too warm most of the time, but I love a long sleeved T, paired with a pretty scarf & down vest.
I am going out like an onion, so I can put off as much as I need to…..
Love your giveaway:-)
Gaby from Germany
I like to layer with tank tops and sweaters or jackets
I like to layer a T or camisole with a sweater or a wrap
sit on the couch under a couple of snuggly blankets and crochet..
Easy layers such as vest/scarf/shawl, so my hair doesn’t show the effects of static for the many times I have to layer on and layer off throughout the day! 🙂
I’m a big fan of tshirts under sweaters with scarves and hats. I love all the handknit accessories I can fit on my body!
I love to layer with t’s, sweaters and scarves.
first, I start with Canadian lingerie…otherwise known to the rest of the world as thermal undershirt and long-johns. On top of that I wear a light, long sleeved shirt. Then my favorite sweater knit by my mom. I can only hope it lasts me a few more years, because although I can knit proficiently myself, nothing beats something made by mom. I wear my own scarves that I knit. I have many. Funky, lacey, soft, scruffy..I love to knit them all. And I wear them all…the style/color depends on where I’m going that day.
I love layering with sweaters and jackets, but also with accessories like cowls, headbands, and mittens.
Cardigans and scarves, best when hand made!
How will I layer to keep warm?
This is really funny but I’m having so many hot flashes that’s enough to keep me ‘boiling’ all day and night BUT… when I do get a chill I can be found with my newly knit infinity cowl and my thrum mitts! I’d love this bundle … please and thank you!!
I love to put on a ‘skinny’ long sleeve shirt with a blouse or sweater or vest, and then get all cozy with my crocheted “Field Of Flowers afghan” (pattern by Bernat). It is the first blanket I have made for myself!! I love being warm !! I figure it this way: It is much easier to cool off in summer in the AC or a pool, than to get and keep warm in the winter!! I would really love this kit!!
I like to later a turtleneck with a sweater then a scarf and fingerless gloves.
Big sweaters!!
Long sleeve t-shirt, t-shirt and then a scarf.
Shawls, because I can put them on and take them off depending.
T shirt with hand knit over top.
I wear a long sleeve t and a snugly sweater. (hand made of course)
I generally layer with a longsleeved shirt and a sweater and if I am really cold I will wear a handknit cowl and handknit fingerless gloves while knitting!
I love an extra long scarf to wrap around my neck as many times as I need for warmth!
a turtleneck of cotton, then a wool sweater and scarf or shawl, down coat topper for outside! 🙂
Layer with t-shirt, cardigan sweater, scarf and a cup of tea.
lots of lightweight layers, topped off with a cozy blanket
Always in layers, with a sweater or vest. I am always freezing!
I don’t do layers often because I get too hot but when I do it’s usually a hoodie over a tank top or t shirt.
If it is really cold or windy, I start with a snug undershirt to keep my back from getting chilled. Then a long sleeved crew neck top. I avoid turtlenecks and will rely on a neck warmer if I need my neck covered. Followed by one of the many knitted vests that I have made. Then a shawl or poncho to keep all the warmth contained. I prefer a knitting headband to a hat, but will don a hat if it gets real blustery. And of course, hand knitted gloves or mittens.
Tank top, sweater, jacket, and scarf.
I love sweaters and shawls over leggings and fuzzy socks–if I am inside. Outer wear–overcoat, cowl, wrister/hand warmers. But I’m the Cowl Queen, so cowls!
I love to wear a tank top under a sweater with a scarf or cowl layered on top. I usually wear fingerless mitts in the winter too, even in the house! Warm fingers make for happy knitting.
I layer with a hoodie and my jacket and one of my favorite knit cowls wrapped around my neck. 🙂
Lots of socks, tshirts, sweaters, sometimes mittens
I love to layer with lots of breathable cotton.
I usually put a white t shirt under my shirt and than add a sweater or sweatshirt.
My favorite way to layer for staving off the chill is to have lots of vests and shawls around. I tend to get quite cold over my shoulder and neck region so that is the spot where I need more warmth. The vest is my best accessory. I wear it over a long sleeved T shirt. I looks spanking good too imho. Then for an extra layer I may add a lovely scarf, shawl or a cowl. You can never have enough yarn to weave those delightful accessories. Cheers and stay warm!
Fave layering – long sleeved t, sweater or cardigan & scarf.
T-shirt and sweater. The office is always tooo hot during the winter and I need to be able to “strip” down. Making my own sweater with lighter yarn helps tremendously.
Love layering, soft comfy shirt to start with then bright beautiful sweater.
My favorite way to layer is a plain colored base layer (long sleeved tee or turtleneck) usually in black or white under a knit sweater, vest, or shawl. Sometimes more than one of the above!
I like to start with something thin like a T-shirt, then a shirt (long-sleeved) and then a sweater or vest…..layering looks good and makes you warmer on a cold day!
Warm without the long sleeves of a sweater..
T-shirts under sweatshirts, and a cowl. I’m living my cowls!

I like to lay under afghans I have helped the granddaughter knit they may be full of little wholes were shes dropped stiches while shes learned but there still my favrotes. isit under them with her and her little sisters and read books to them before bed they make the best layers.
I like to start with a camisole / bra top with some spandex. Something that appears thin but is stretchy and smoothing right next to the skin. Then a solid colored long sleeve t-shirt or turtleneck in a bright color. A contrasting color cardigan with some stripes or texture on top. Sometimes a puffer vest on top of that if it is really chilly like for morning kids events like flag football games. For pants I prefer skinny jeans and calf high boots. Add a infinity scarf, hat and some fingerless gloves and you are styling for the fall here in Kansas!
I have finally learned how to wear a knitted hat. So, I wear them along with the cowl or scarf.
T-shirt, then cardi, then coat, with added cowl & mitts if I need more warmth.

To layer I buy tight tank tops and t-shirts. Then I buy loose sweaters so I can fit more clothes underneath them. I start to get cold in the 70’s so even though I live in Florida if it hits the 20’s I usually have on at least 6 layers.
Layering for winter? Here in In the Arizona desert it begins with a tank top, then a light long sleeve shirt and perhaps a scarf (made many for family). but of course you realize this is all down to the tank by 10AM.

Inside I pop on shrugs or shawls and mitts for my arthritic paws. These go outside too and I like cardigans under my wind breaker and a scarf or cowl if it’s really cold. Nice wooly socks go inside the walking shoes or boots.

I like to start with silk undies from neck to toe then add fleece pants and a lightweight turtleneck. Next comes the wind pants and a lovely wool gansey that is semi-felted from years of wear and washing (keeps both the wind and rain out) and if dressing up it would be the same silk unders with dress pants a light turtle neck a dress coat with a beautiful shawl that does double duty when the coat is off inside. Am amazed at how versatile my shawls are and the very fine ones are also so easy to tuck in ones bag for those unexpected times of need (like air-conditioned theatres etc)

I’ve even been known to wear gloves while I work and a heater in my office all year round. I live for layering…vests, scarves, tees, jackets…anything I can use to make it easier to transition from inside to outside without looking like a crazy person in a thick sweater all day. 🙂 I would love to win the prize so I can continue my tradition with another stylishly knitted item.
I find the best way is short sleeve under long sleeve, vest and jacket
here in the south we almost have to layer because it may be chilly (cold) in the AM but HOT in the afternoon and a shawl is a good layer

I like to layer with t-shirts and sweaters.
I love to wear a tighter fitting, thin cotton, long sleeve shirt under a looser warmer sweater. If it’s really cold, I’ll layer a t-shirt in between.
Love cowls over sweaters! They work without a coat when you’re inside, and with a coat when you’re outside. Hand-knit wool socks are a must, too!
Turtleneck sweater topped with a vest or shawl. If it’s really cold, long sleeved Cuddleduds under the turtleneck 😀
Layering from toes up ,toasty hand knit socks, leg warmers or boot toppers, shapely vests , comfy cowls, finger-less mitts so nothing interferes with knitting, a sexy little tam on ones head, wrapped in a shawl with a lap blanket while sipping a hot toddy? Ok, so that is everyone who comes to my house in winter 🙂 When I am cold I put socks on. At my age I am a walking radiator! Thank you for the free Pattern Download. ((Hugs)) to all of you at Bijou!
Warm cooler weather here in AZ so I usually layer a tank or tee shirt with a cardi and maybe a scarf. 🙂
Scarves, shawls and fingerless gloves keep me warm.
Layers always work best since I’m in sunny Southern California. Light jacket in the morning and usually just a long sleeve sweater by afternoon 🙂
All fall and winter, whenever I’m home, I’m running around with my slippers and robe on since I’m always cold! Cuddling up with my cats or dog, Scrappy, at night is also good.

Well let me begin by saying that contrary to some peoples belief it does get cold here in Florida…at least the northern part does. I like to wear a long sleeve shirt, with a vest or jacket over that.

What is your favorite way to layer for cold weather?
I love to layer. Like today I have on a turtle neck, sweater, and scarf.
I always have some type of sweater…light weight/short or 3/4 length sleeves for warmer months…usually worn over a short sleeved or tank top. In the colder months I usually wear short or long sleeves under a sweater…I LOVE sweaters…and then a denim jacket or coat when it gets really cold. I also have several scarves and cowls for fashion and function.
I layer with cotton tshirt against my skin, then at least a shawl, but sometimes a sweater as well.
My way of layering for outdoors is a knitted Henley shirt, down vest, scarf, down jacket and a knitted watch cap.
For inside a knitted sweater or vest over a long sleeve shirt often covered with one of my many colors of knitted afghans while longing while knitting Christmas gifts. Sure wish I had a fireplace to knit in front of, but until then, I knit to the TV!
I like to layer a cami under a cardigan, then throw a shawl on for a little extra warmth.
Sweaters sweaters and flannels, and more sweaters
I work for the homeless and myknitting is for them. I make hats,scarfes, sweaters,and socks and belief it or not lapghans to stay warm.For me and my 4 sons I knit too of course .In the Netherlands we know how to stay toasty warm.Yarn is something to be used and it goes fast!
lots of knitting joy

I like to wear a thermal under a nice knit sweater with a cool color scarf and a pair of jeans with a pair of leg warmers some boots and a nice knit hat. Then Im ready to go!
I usually just wear a t-shirt and toss a sweater over it. If I need more, I go for my leather bomber jacket. If I’m inside, I layer on some blankets.
I’m a substitute teacher. I never know how warm/cold my classroom is going to be. Scarves are my favorite layering tool. I’ll wear a blouse under a cardigan with a complementary scarf, then adjust the layers as needed.

As a massage therapist, I need my arms and elbows free, so I knit a lot of vests.
Now I am loving my Poncho that I made with 100% wool! 🙂
Scarves and shawls keep me cozy in cold classrooms. In a pinch larger shawls can become a blanket to throw over my legs:-)
A tee under a sweater or cardigan and my barn jacket over that. Add a nice hat and scarf set and I am good to go!
I live in southern Arizona so I don’t need really warm layering. I like a light weight diet under a slightly heavier pullover sweater, then a light weight cardigan. there is only a couple months our of the year it’s cold enough to do this.
I like to use a tee as a bottom layer then a sweat shirt or long sleeve shirt and add a sweater or shawl if its very cold.

And yes sometimes it gets that cold here in sunny FL. 🙂
I love to wear light cotton and crochet/knit blankets and shawls all winter long.

Long-sleeved T’s and sweaters…then a scarf to keep my neck warm!!
I live in Central Texas so I don’t really know cold so what I usually do is just throw a cardi on over whatever I feel like wearing that day. No separate winter wardrobe for me!
Blouse, sweater, scarf/cowl, mittens, coat!
I usually have a turtleneck under a shirt or another sweater, and if needed a cardigan or loose vest over that. Sometimes a scarf if I’m wearing a crew neck instead of turtleneck.
I like to wear a short sleeve blouse under a sweater. If I get too warm, due to hormones that they put me on for Breast Cancer, then the sweater comes off for a few minutes until I feel normal again. It’s just something I have to live with for the next five years. But if it keeps the cancer away, then it’s worth it.

My favorite way to layer is to grab my favorite jeans, throw on a tshirt followed by a sweater. Then I add a vest or jacket and decorate it with either one of my own handspun knit scarves/shawls or another handknit scarf. Then I move down to my feet and grab a pair of knee high socks, then add a pair of handknit socks before throwing on some boots. I never leave the house without grabbing a handknit hat and gloves. I love this time of year.
Scarves. I’ve made myself 2 scarves since October 1st this year. I made one for my son, one for his teacher, one for my hubby and I’m making one for a classmate of my son’s. Brioche stitch is so pretty, I love it!
