Willow Collar is a big and chunky neck warmer in allover brioche stitch. The turtleneck is wide and tall giving the collar an oversized look while also being warm and cozy. Willow Collar is worked from the top down and both flat and in the round using 1 strand of Heavy Merino + 2 strands of Soft Silk Mohair held together throughout. You start working the turtleneck in the round from the top down to the shoulders. Here, work is divided and front and back are subsequently finished separately back and forth.
