Second version of this collar

I had to frog version 1 because it was much too wide after washing.

I also applied these improvements:

• cast on less stitches to achieve intended width (version 1 was too wide after washing)
• made 5 button holes instead of 4 (to spread buttons more evenly)
• made less raglan increases (version 1 was not lying flat on the borders) => It has an asymmetrical shape.

Material:

• I used the the remaining 42g /110m of Rowan yarn from my triangle scarf “Little acts of kindness” because it matches very well color-wise with the sweater.
• needles addi click olive 4mm with ropes 60cm and changed to 80cm in row 24

Knitting details:

• casted on 83 stitches

• row 1 to row 16 - 1x1 ribbing

• row 9 - added 2x 2 stitched = 87 stitches

• 5 button holes in the following rows: 4/5, 12/13, 21/22, 29/30 and 37/38, each 3 stitches wide

• button band #1 had 7 stitches in 1x1 ribbing, button band #2 had 3 stitches in pearl stitch

• raglan markers - 2x 8 stitches for button bands counted as 1x 8 stitches, marked 14 stitches for shoulder part

• raglan increases: +4 stitches in rows 17 to 42 = +1 after M1, +1 before M2, +1 after M2, +1 before M3. used kfb

• final band to avoid rolling up of edge - row 43, 44, 45, 46 - chessboard pattern 2x2 stitches for 2 rows
