For those of you who hate having yarn leftover, fear not! The instructions tell you how to knit until the very end. The perfect gift and quick to make, this chest & neck warmer gives you all the warmth under your coat without getting too hot wearing a whole jumper!

Inspired by a WW2 Soldier’s knitting booklet, this simple piece with a twist has a mini moss stitch edge with a pretty lace body. And for extra interest the pattern includes instructions for the half Fisherman Rib. One size fits most for this pattern, but could be made bigger if needed.

I’d recommend using wool yarn for extra snuggles- I used 400m of yarn total for the green striped.

Measures approx 35cm x 24cm when flat, with 12cm+ long turnover neck.
