Inside Story

This stylish turtleneck is the perfect addition to any wardrobe, combining simplicity with just the right amount of detailing to make it a must-have staple. You can customize your fit by selecting a size with a little ease for a neat and polished look, or opt for a size with extra ease for a more relaxed, slouchy vibe—ideal for casual outings and cozy days at home.

Designed to be knit seamlessly from the top down, this versatile pattern allows for creativity in showcasing either the stockinette stitch (st st) or the reverse stockinette stitch side on the outside. Regardless of the choice, the piece is knit with the stockinette stitch side facing for an elegant finish, significantly reducing the need to purl. The raglan sleeves are accentuated by wide ribbing panels that flow seamlessly down the sides of the body, merging beautifully into the lower ribbing for a cohesive design.

This turtleneck can be made using any worsted weight yarn that achieves the specified gauge, providing a fantastic opportunity for knitters to explore various colorways and textures. The model displayed is crafted in Brooklyn Tweed Shelter, in the striking color Newsprint. For those who wish to create a unique marled effect without purchasing marled yarn, you can achieve this by holding together two different colors of fingering weight yarn. Just ensure you have the recommended amount of yarn provided below in each of the two colors to create a stunning visual contrast.

As you prepare to create this essential piece, we also offer a selection of substitute yarn options to help you find the perfect match for your style and budget. This turtleneck pattern is not only a great project for knitters of all skill levels but also serves as a fantastic gift idea for friends and family who appreciate handmade fashion. Embrace the joy of knitting and elevate your wardrobe with this charming turtleneck—your new go-to piece for any season!
