Notes

i reversed the instructions to make it bottom-up.
the only interest of this is that there’s no picking up except for faceband

Collar

with 3.5 mm needle

CO 88, join and work ribbing in the round.
40 rounds ribbing (instead of 20)

Back & Sides

with 4 mm needle

work 60 rows (instead of 52) of garter stitch over 70 first stitches, leaving 18 last sts live on 3.5 mm needle to make the faceband later

Top

cut yarn
slip 25 sts

with new ball:

* sl1 wyib K 18 K2tog turn work
