Times are hard, the weather is cold, and sometimes, all a knitter needs is a seamless raglan in worsted weight on her needles. File under “Comfort Knitting”.

The yarn was a gift for Mom circa 2014 and in perfect line with my “Knit from the Stash” resolution. In order to use up every bit of yarn, I put the stitches on hold after the sleeve split, then knit the collar and sleeves before returning to the body - and knitting until I had only a few yards left. And Reader, she’s perfect.

Having previously knit a sweater with Tosh Vintage, I know this stuff has a tendency to grow after blocking - hence sizing down to a Size 2 versus a roomier Size 3.

Update: After a day’s wear, I decided to fold the turtleneck in two and stitch it to the neckline on the inside - and am very happy with this mod. New photo added.

Update the Second: Gifted to my pal, Sheila, in January 2025, as these colors? Are not my colors.

Note: I knit the version originally published in PPQ28, which contains a few errors; errata published on the magazine’s website here.
