Notes

The objective was to use up some precious cashmere in the stash, so I frogged a rarely worn scarf, added 2 more skeins from stash plus a skein of Cashsilk, and this is a result. Pretty much made up as I went, knitting in the round and gently decreasing toward the top. When I ran out of the Cashsilk, which went for a surprisingly long way, I just knit with the Silky Cashmere until all was used up.
Quite happy with the result. It lays comfortably on my shoulders and hugs the neck with just enough ease.

And it’s so soft and silky, and warm. Can not beat that :)
