Notes

Sized up by 0.5mm for all needle sizes called for.

Finished this way back in October 2023, however I bound off the double-folded neckband far too tight and couldn’t get it over my head.

Put off fixing it until April 2024, but in the end it only took me about an hour to fix.

I didn’t want to pick up more stitches and re-knit the entire neckband, so I instead ripped out the bindoff and pulled back to just under half the total length. I then tested the size/fit, decided it would fit, and put the stitches back onto my needles. I knit a few more rows for a total collar length of 3cm, then finished with Italian bindoff. I loved the look of the double folded neckband, but I also think the single neckband looks nice too and was worth the sacrifice for the sake of my sanity lol
