Ok, so i’m almost there. People keep asking if I have to do the tedious task of picking up stitches and doing an edging - no, I say.

And then I take another look at the pattern pictures, and there is some sort of collar. Here I was thinking I just bound off at the top of the back section and Bob would be my uncle.

Start reading through the instructions to find out how this mystery collar section is worked. Hunt Ravelry and see references to the ‘neck extension’ - search the pattern for neck extension instructions and only find it in the finishing notes. ARGH. Start to think i’m blind, crazy, or both.

Finally, finally find it: neck extension is worked up from top of front sides and seamed to back. It’s hidden in the wordy instructions. There you go.

Now to work the fronts!

Done! Seamed up at long last. Wish I’d noted when I started this project…but i’m super happy with it.
