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. Abbreviations: co- cast on bo- bind off k- knit p- purl st(s)- stitch(es) k1 f&b- knit 1 front and back garter stitch- fabric created when you knit (k) every row.
