The Shawl Collar Pattern Download
Because what would it feel like to have wings. The two sides of the The Shawl Collar are knit separately, shaped with increases and then short rows. The two sides are joined together seamlessly. There are 7 mini classes linked in the pattern for the special techniques used in the pattern: the Crochet Chain Provisional Cast On, the I-Cord Cast On, the I-Cord Selvedge, Brioche Stitch, the Yarn Over increase, Garter Short Rows, and Kitchener Stitch. I recommend this pattern to intermediate knitters. Wear The Shawl Collar as a shawl, collar, and hood.
