I’m making this to match the detached hood I made earlier. This is one of the many UFOs I seem to get when ever I’m designing a new pattern.
Mods- I wanted a contrasting I-cord down the front and around the neck so I made the made the I-cord in the bright yarn and left the 4sts on a holder.
-I then knit the sweater omitting the first 4sts on the top similar to what you do for a two colour hood.
-This made for a very large neckline as there was no short rows at the top.
-Once the sweater was finished I added an applied I-cord to the top skipping every second ridge, this brought in the neckline to the right size. (see the last picture)
