Notes

A warm, lovely, 100% wool turtleneck knit (and modeled) during a global heat wave, because I am a madwoman. Anyway, I look forward to wearing this when (if?) the temperatures start to drop again. For now, into cedar-lined storage you go, my pretty.

The pattern calls for four different colors in total - but I made do with three. Aside from that, no modifications - she’s absolutely perfect as-is.

Also, this yarn? Knits and wears like a freaking dream, and may be my go-to wool moving forward.

  • Cropped version
  • Skipped optional short-row shaping across chest
  • Knit Size 2 (37.75”) for 34” chest.

Note: I steam-blocked this one to have the photos ready for preview day, hence the somewhat wobbly colorwork stitches. A proper blocking and updated photos to follow once I can handle wearing sweaters again.

Oct 2024 Update: Gifted to my friend, Sheila, as I don’t wear pink. Happy to report that she loves and wears it constantly.
