NORA NECK

Description

The Nora Neck knitting pattern is a modern knit pattern with a large turtleneck that will keep you warm on cold days. The ribbed shoulders that drape downwards make the neck warmer knitting pattern a cool yet sophisticated piece to wear under your coat. The oversized turtleneck, knitted from top to bottom in a 1×1 rib pattern, creates a balanced combination of elegance and coziness. The knit pattern with hand-dyed yarn and bouclé texture is fluffy and warm, creating an accessory that is both classic, modern and fun. The body of the neck warmer is shaped with raglan increases, while the accentuated shoulders are knitted in a 1×1 rib before the decreases for the front and back define the shape.

Begin by making a gauge swatch to check that you have the correct gauge.

 

SizeS

1 (2) 3

There are a total of 3 sizes for the Nora Neck to accommodate different shoulder widths and bust circumferences. Please note that your chest measurement is not the most important measurement for this project, as the sides are open. Therefore, pay particular attention to your shoulder measurement. Sizes 1 (2) 3 correspond to a shoulder measurement of 42 (46) 50 cm and are based on a chest measurement of approx. 80 (100) 125 cm. These measurements serve as a rough guide and do not have to be kept perfectly for the neck to fit.
