I chose this project because I wanted to test the neck construction, which is new to me. I really like it! It’s easy to do and it looks professional.

For the bind off, I knit 4 rounds of double knit and then did an Italian bind off. I have to remember to keep the bind off super loose in order to preserve the stretch inherent in the 1x1 rib.

If I were ever to knit this again, I might choose to knit with 3 different colors of mohair to get a blendy heathery look.
