Two-toned turtleneck

Posted by Tilli in Patterns, tags: SOCK


Jenifer Stark designed the two-toned turtleneck, featuring a layer of ethereal lace over conventional stockinette. Tilli Tomas’s “Symphony Lace” with beads and glitter is used for the openwork overlay; ”Sock” forms the base. Both layers are worked seperately in the round, then assembled and joined to finish the ribbed border, cuffs and generous turtleneck.
