The trick in this lovely turtleneck sweater is the slightly puffed oversized sleeves with a lovely large turtleneck collar that flows beautifully on your neck. Use fingering or light fingering weight yarn to get a wardrobe staple that you wear under your jacket during winter and as a casual sweater in fall, spring, and colder summer days. The sweater is worked seamlessly from the top down. The shoulders and sleeves are shaped with increases and the neckline is shaped with short rows. The large turtleneck collar is worked last.
