Use My Mocha Neck under your coat or knit it longer in front and use it as a slipover. It’s a simple, yet detailed Neck. It’s worked in a purl and knit checker pattern with a 2 x 2 ribbing and i-cords that tie in the waist. Introduction to the patternMy Mocha Neck is worked from the top down. First, the back is worked, then the shoulders and the front. Stitches are then picked up around the neckline opening to work the mock turtle neck. Lastly the i-cords are knit and sewn on. Size guideMeasure yourself over the shoulders to decide how wide, you would like the neck to be .If you knit size 1, and would like/need more length in the front (e.g. because of bust size), I would recommend buying 1 more skein of each quality. There is enough yarn for another checker segment in size 2, if you meet gauge.
