Colvin DK – Project Kit
Colvin DK – Project Kit
Every closet needs a quintessential turtleneck, and this one is our favorite. We can’t wear Colvin enough, so we made a second version delivering the same subtle curved hem and fully-fashioned shoulder decreases, but in a lighter fabric and minus the decorative stitch detail.
We are delighted to introduce this pattern with our yarn, Studio Blend No. 1, a luxuriously crafted blend of cashmere and yak. The yardage estimate for each kit factors enough yarn for the garment in the selected size, plus 10% for a 6- to 8-inch swatch and knitter tension variance.
Each Colvin DK Project Kit includes a digital pattern, delivered by email at time of shipping.
See additional pattern information shown below photographs for the number of skeins required per size and sleeve option. Make a skein amount and color selection to see its yarn photo.
Construction
Colvin is worked from the bottom up in pieces and sewn together, then the collar is worked circularly.
