Voar Neckerchief

Sale price$7.00

This neckerchief uses the centre-out construction of a Shetland Hap, where yarn overs are made at the beginning of every row to increase and shape the triangle. Due to the construction, it is necessary to spit splice in the new colors. It is important to use a yarn that is 100% wool and not a superwash yarn for the splicing to work well. Video links are provided under Special Techniques for both forming the yarn overs and spit splicing. It is possible to work more repeats of the chart for a larger triangle. This will require additional yardage.

See video tutorial below for an overview of construction.
