this cotton collar is cute, cozy and comfortable. it drapes just below the shoulders and the edges ripple slightly to provide a flouncy finish. it will go beautifully with that breezy spring dress that i've been dreaming about (but haven't found yet). the collar is knit with three skeins of shine worsted from knit picks. the pattern comes courtesy of scarf style and it is the first project that i've made out of the book. the designs range broadly from simple to sophisticated so there is a bit of something for everyone. this particular pattern employed the short row technique that seems to be popping up everywhere...from dishcloths to bold as love blankets... to make it my own i added some extra crochet around the outside and a bright white button closure (instead of the ties that the pattern calls for).
