(crocheted the band with SINGLES but whipstitched w/ARAN (MC))

I crocheted double rows on both sides and after I finished the collar I whip stitched the ‘excess’ part to keep it flat.

Next one: I could knit less cuff as sleeve length is nice and long and cuffs could be extra wide and covering up the colorwork section. Nice and “thick” cardigan since it’s in Aran weight and dense. Will be great for the chilly season.
