My Mocha Neck

Use My Mocha Neck under your coat or knit it longer in front and use it as a slipover. It’s a simple, yet detailed Neck. It’s worked in a purl and knit checker pattern with a 2 x 2 ribbing and i-cords that tie in the waist.

Introduction to the pattern
My Mocha Neck is worked top down. First, the back is worked. Then stitches for the shoulders are picked up along the cast-on edge, and the front piece is joined. A ribbing is then worked in the neckline opening, and finally the i-cord ties are knit and sewn on My Mocha Neck.
