Olive Turtleneck

Olive Turtleneck is the top down sister pattern to our popular Olive Sweater (as well as Olive Cardigan for kids). It features a ribbed turtleneck that compliments the allover lace patterning. Worked with 1 strand of our fingering-weight yarn held together with 2 strands of Silk Mohair, this turtleneck boasts the soft, cloud- like texture of our other Olive patterns. Olive Turtleneck is worked seamlessly and in the round, beginning with the ribbed neckband, and continuing with the raglan-construction yoke. Then sleeve stitches are held aside, to be finished after the body is completed. Ribbed edges finish the sleeves and the body. *Be aware that the needle size and gauge depend on the size you are knitting.* **Sizes**: XS (S, M, L, XL, 2XL, 3XL, 4XL) **Finished measurements**: Chest circumference: approx. 90 (99, 105, 113, 120, 127, 135, 141) cm [351⁄2 (39, 411⁄4, 441⁄2, 471⁄4, 50, 531⁄4, 551⁄2)]" to fit chest circumference: 76-83 (84-91, 92-99, 100-107, 108-116, 117-127, 128-139, 140-149) cm [30-323⁄4 (33-353⁄4, 361⁄4-39, 391⁄4-421⁄4, 421⁄2-453⁄4, 46-50, 501⁄2-543⁄4, 55-581⁄2)]"; Length from shoulder to edge: approx. 52 (54, 55, 56, 60, 61, 65, 66) cm [201⁄2 (211⁄4, 211⁄2, 22, 231⁄2, 251⁄2, 26]"; Sleeve length from underarm to cuff: approx. 42 (44, 44, 39, 39, 39, 39, 39) cm [161⁄2 (171⁄2, 171⁄2, 151⁄2, 151⁄2, 151⁄2, 151⁄2, 151⁄2)]" **Yarn**: 1 strand of Knitting for Olive Merino, Cotton Merino or Pure Silk (250 m [273 yd] / 50 g [1.8 oz]), fingering-weight yarn, 4 (4, 4, 5, 5, 5, 6, 6) balls; + 2 strands of Soft Silk Mohair (225 m [246 yd] / 25 g [0.9 oz]), lace-weight yarn, 8 (9, 9, 10, 11, 11, 12, 13) balls Sample is in size M, in Knitting for Olive Merino, Soil colorway + Soft Silk Mohair, Hazel colorway **Needles**: 5 mm / US8 and 6.5 (6, 6.5, 6, 6.5, 6, 6.5, 6) mm / US10.5 (10, 10.5, 10, 10.5, 10, 10.5, 10) circular needles and double-pointed needles **Gauge**: (in Olive Turtleneck stitch pattern Chart B, with 1 strand of Merino + 2 strands of Soft Silk Mohair, and after blocking) Sizes XS, M, XL, 3XL only: 16 sts and 22 rows = 10 cm [4"] with 6.5 mm; Sizes S, L, 2XL, 4XL only: 17 sts and 24 rows = 10 cm [4"] with 6 mm **Notions**: Stitch markers, waste yarn or stitch holders, tapestry needle
