Introducing Color My World – a softly textured, warm turtle-neck, ready for the season. Worked bottom-up and in-the-round, with sleeves worked in-the-round too, this design is mostly seamless, except for the sleeve caps that are briefly shaped with short rows at their ends and set in. The 4 stitch by 8 row repeat of its Diagonal Rib is easy to remember, and comfortable to knit. Enjoy!
