Notes

The collar is damaged:
The yarn is hand wash only, but all my other yarn is machine-washable, so I totally forgot that this yarn needs hand washing and washed it on the 30°C setting in the washing machine..

Idea:
Improve my cream collar by adding an opening for getting it over the head more easily.

needles: Prym 4mm, started with 40cm and later changed to 80cm

Intended measurements

  • 4cm ribbed collar
  • 12 cm button band
  • total length approx. 18-20cm

Details

  • The collar is knit from the top downwoards.

  • 79 stitches were casted on, including 2x 7 stitches for the button bands.

  • added +4 stitches in row 11 and row 15 inside the ribbing

  • rows 1 to row 23 - 1x1 ribbing

  • rows 24 to 56 - raglan increases +8 stitches in each 2nd row. 198 stitches after the raglan increases

  • row 50 - closed to the round, knitting both button bands together into one band. started knittimg in the round

  • row 56 - end of botton band, started knitting everything in stockinette stitch

  • row 74 - knitted 2x2 to avoid rolling up, mobed pattern in row 77

  • row 80 - elastic cast off according to youtube video

  • knitted the collars on 8 days. (I did not write down the hours.)
