You can knit the Nelson collar as you wish in Aran weight Syli Merino yarn or double stranded in Fingering weight Soft Merino 4PLY yarn, giving you a wide range of colours.

Nelson Collar is knitted seamlessly from the top down in a trendy brioche knit. The collar and shoulder are worked in the round and the flaps are worked flat. Finish the look by knitting a brioche Nelson beanie to the same outfit.
