Flattering, very loose, soft folded turtleneck collar in three sizes. The collar is probably the best feature on this jumper; as a customer explained "the loose collar not only looks flattering and protects you from the cold it also covers the maturity signs around the neck with strangling which would again produce the opposite effect". The collar can be knitted with the ribber without having to sew a collar seam.
The Yarn: Up to 350 gram CESAR or MAESTRO - Fine Wool/Cashmere. There will be some left for a scarf! It can also be knitted in RIO or ROBERTA.
