Gauge
Stockinette stitch, blocked:
for a 10×10 cm {4 in} square
19 sts and 26 rows
This pattern is mostly worked sideways, so row gauge is particularly important.
Suggested yarn
2(3) balls of CaMaRose Snefnug Natur
• Worsted/Aran weight
• Yarn blown into cotton tube
• 55% Camelid - Alpaca, 35% Cotton, 10% Wool - Merino
• 110 m {120 y} / 50 g
Or approximately 220(220)330m {240(240)360y} of a similar yarn.
Depending on the size you'd like to make, this collar could be very close to your neck. I suggest to pick a yarn with that in mind.
