Description:
Talvikki is an answer to a need to have something warm and woolly to protect neck from cold weather. It is slight enough to fit nicely under the winter jacked and enables you to move flexible in walks through the forests for example. There are simple cable twists, double moss stitches, bobbles and twisted stitches in this collar. It is shaped with increases worked in double moss stitch edge, and with German short rows in hem. Talvikki is worked top to down seamlessly first in round and separated after decreases. There is an Italian bind off used in hem, so there is a nice flexible edge. In pattern there are charts and written instructions.
