The Hearth collar is worked seamlessly from
the top down, beginning at the back of
the neck. Stitches are then picked up
for the shoulders and continued into
the front. The back has straight shaping, while
the front tapers gently toward the ribbed edge for
a flattering fit that sits comfortably around the
neck.

For best results, choose solid or slightly tonal
colorways to let the stitchwork stand out. Knit
with a single strand of DK-weight yarn for crisp
stitch definition, or combine fingering-weight
yarn with mohair, suri alpaca, or cashmere for
softness and a subtle halo. The finished piece is
a cozy, polished layer that adds both warmth and
elegance to your outfit.
