I wanted this design to be simple: elegant and easy, yet sophisticated and textured. I used the same stitch throughout, a two-row repeat, making it easy to work up. The collar and wrap are worked in different
directions to keep the shape elegant, clean, and nicely draped over your shoulders, showing off the linear look of the stitches.
