This is a detailed but quick knit and an accessory that perfectly fits the transition from Autumn to Winter and Winter to Spring. An understanding of how to knit cables is helpful for this pattern, but an adventurous beginner could utilise online resources to support them through this design.

The intention is for knitters to be able to make this item out of a single ball of De Rerum Natura’s ‘Gilliatt’ yarn, although this will require the knitter to leave the yarn live at the end of their swatch and unravel the swatch to use the yarn for the main item.

You can increase the width of the collar by continuing to work further short rows to shape the neck and then accounting for the additional stitches evenly between the various cables. If you require further information on how to do this, please get in touch.
