CONSTRUCTION
This neckerchief begins with a Garter Tab Cast-On with increases at the outside edges on every row and on the center spine on RS rows, giving the top edge a curved shape that sits nicely around the neck. Alternating stripes of a simple slip stitch pattern are worked interspersed with rows of stockinette in the MC.
