Notes

I’m not very keen on the neck. It feels too big and deep for the weight of the garment. I am going to try picking up and knitting a collar.

I knitted a collar which was supposed to be a ‘stand and fall’ (like a shirt collar). The ‘stand’ was ribbed, then I increased a few sts, went to a bigger needle and worked the ‘fall’ out of stst. It hasn’t worked, but I like it anyway.
