NECK WARMER – SHORT OVERVIEW OF THE PIECE:
The piece is worked in the round, bottom up.
NECK WARMER:
Cast on 128-128 stitches with circular needle size 4.5 mm and 2 strands Kid-Silk or 1 strand Brushed Alpaca Silk. Knit 1 round then work pattern in the round as follows: Work A.1 (= 32 stitches) a total of 4-4 times on the round. When A.1 is finished there are 160-160 stitches on the needle.
Change to circular needle size 5 mm and continue in the round as follows: Work A.2 (= 40 stitches) a total of 4-4 times on the round. A.2 is repeated in height. REMEMBER THE KNITTING TENSION! Work until the piece measures approx. 43-47 cm – adjust to after round 2 or 6 in A.2. Change to circular needle size 4.5 mm and work A.3 (= 40 stitches) a total of 4-4 times on the round. After the first round in A.3 there are 128-128 stitches on the needle. When A.3 is finished cast off with knit over knit and purl over purl – so the cast-off edge is not tight you can cast off with a ½ needle size larger. The piece measures approx. 46-50 cm.
