NECK WARMER:
READ THE ENTIRE PATTERN BEFORE CONTINUING!
Cast on 16-22 (30-38) sts on needles size 4 mm with Karisma. Insert 1 marker inside the outermost 4 sts in right side of piece (seen from RS), move the marker upwards when working.
Work in GARTER ST - see explanation above, AT THE SAME TIME work PICOT EDGE over the outermost 4 sts before marker - see explanation above. When garter st has been worked for 2 cm (= button band), work a row with eyelet holes as follows from WS (beg at the top by neck): K 1, * K 2 tog, 1 YO *, repeat from *-* until 1 st remains before marker, K 1 and work picot edge as before (on next row work YOs K, not twisted).
AT THE SAME TIME on 1st row from RS after eyelet holes, work short rows as follows (1st row = RS and continue with picot edge as before):
* Work 6-10 (16-22) sts, turn – READ KNITTING TIP and work back, turn and work 10-14 (20-26) sts, turn and work back, turn and work 2 rows over all 16-22 (30-38) sts, turn and work 10-14 (20-26) sts, turn and work back, turn and work 2 rows over all 16-22 (30-38) sts *, repeat from *-* (1 repetition = 4 rows in neck and 10 rows in bottom edge).
Continue pattern like this AT THE SAME TIME repeat eyelet holes every 5 cm (always from WS and measure at the most narrow). When piece measures 17-22 (22-27) cm on the most narrow part (last row with eyelet holes should be here), work in garter st over all sts for band for 2 cm but after 2-3 rows, cast off for 3-3 (4-4) buttonholes evenly. Upper buttonhole should be approx. 1½-2 cm from the top, and bottom hole approx. 2-3 cm from bottom edge. 1 buttonhole = cast off 1 st and cast on 1 new st on next row over this st. When band is done, cast off.
Sew on buttons.
