This bonus blouse is included in the collection because it is the ideal companion piece to wear with many of the cardigans. The turtleneck is added to a standard shaped neckline so it is not as constrictive as most T-necks. This is a very inexpensive top to make.

YARN, GAUGE AND MACHINE
Red Heart “Soft Yarn” gets a gauge of 4 stitches and 6 rows per inch using stitch size 6 on the bulky machine. Bonds try keyplates 3 and 4 to see which works best for your machine. A ribber is nice for this pattern but those who are willing to reform a lot of stitches for rib can certainly manage without one. Sizes through 40” take 3 skeins of yarn. Larger sizes take 4. Largest 3 sizes may take 5.
