Soft natural colored Shetland yarn provide the perfect inspiration for this neck warmer, and It’s unique and interesting construction makes for a fun project! It starts out by making two separate ribbed bottoms. Then they are joined in the round with steeks at each edge. When the chart section is completed, the steeks are bound off (and eventually cut), then shoulder stitches are cast on. The funnel neck is completed with a bit of shaping. Finally the front, shoulder, and back edges are picked up and finished with ribbing.
