Fiamme e Roccia

The intricate twisted knit pattern intersects all around this neck creating elegant geometric motifs. The pattern, available in two versions, a wider and longer one for use as a wrap-around collar or as a short cape when worn around the shoulders, and a shorter neck warmer-type one, has a circular top down construction and a progressively increasing circumference to ensure a better fit.
The pattern requires familiarity with the twist stitch knitting technique and the execution of cables without cable needle.
