I was inspired to knit a choker in this lace pattern when looking at in-progress project photos of my Virga shawl.

The Virga choker is constructed a little differently, compared to my previous choker patterns, and there is a second version of the Virga choker pattern, which incorporates instructions for some basic beadwork. The pattern for the beaded Virga choker is available here.

The Virga Choker is a quick and uncomplicated lace project, ideal for using up tiny amounts of yarn.

The choker can be completed in a day or two, including the time it requires to block the finished piece.

The piece requires approximately 5g of Scheepjes Maxi Sugar Rush mercerised cotton yarn and is worked on 2mm - 2.5mm double-pointed needles (dpns).

The length of the choker can be adjusted easily for different neck circumferences and I recommend you check the fit whilst knitting. Altogether, you should ensure that the body of the choker covers around 80% - 85% of the neck before the piece is blocked.

The choker is secured with the help of two i-cords, which each measure approximately 20cm in length. These will be tied to a bow to secure the choker. Beads can be attached to the ends of the i-cords for a more sophisticated finish.
