My first collar design. No other reasons than the fact that I had to have a collar. Aaand I had to make something in 100% cashmere. You probably no that feeling!
October collar is knitted in the softest cashmere yarn from A Knitters World. It’s knitted top down. It’s casted on with Italian Cast-On and continues in rib stitch for the turtleneck. To create the collar part, you’ll make increases in order to make the stripes wider. The collar is binded off with an ordinary lose bind off. It’s inspired by the classic neck warmer and covers both neck and chest for the cold winter days. Remember to make a swatch and read the entire pattern before getting started.
