Fetching Fern is a DK-weight neckwarmer featuring a split hem and a fern-like diagonal texture stitch pattern. It uses just 1 skein of the lovely Lucia DK by Boston hand-dyer Dirty Water Dyeworks (shown in the Vermont colorway). The stitch pattern features just knits and purls and creates an attractive, subtle diagonal texture. Easy to wear with its split hem construction, it sits nicely on the shoulders and is so versatile. Pattern includes link to an in-depth photo tutorial on how the front and back hems are attached to create the split.
