Finished Measurements:
Blocked - 16” long x 7.5” wide
Unblocked - 14.5” long x 7.5” wide
Gauge:
3 sts = 1” in garter stitch
*Please Note: Getting gauge for this project is critical! The yardage using the Lotus
Cashmere Chunky is very tight (within just a few feet of yarn) so it’s very important to
get stitch gauge. If you are a tight knitter, it is recommended that you go up a needle
size. Also, to conserve yarn we’ve used a cable cast on (uses less yarn) and made our
tails as short as we dare. If using 2 colors, you can make 2 Neckies by swapping the
MC and the CC on the 2nd Neckie.
