This charming neckband is perfect for layering with shirts, trenches, and coats, featuring a nice look. It’s worked from the bottom upwards in two separate pieces: front and back. Then parts are sewn together along the shoulder lines using the three-needle bind-off method. The neck is worked in the round after the piece has been sewn together. In addition, this knitted item includes conjunctive knit elements (pairs) that are used on either side, presented in two lengths or you may knit your desired length, possibly using a simple color ribbon. It’s also a great pattern for an advanced beginner knitter. This pattern is for personal/private use only, not for selling. Designed in one-size-fits-many for adults or teens.
