A bunny soft, fitted neckwarmer worked in a simple lace pattern with integrated I-cord edging. It buttons up to allow a snug fit without stretching the angora, and has a reinforced button band and one-row buttonholes for strength.

Gauge: One pattern repeat = 8.5cm/33/8” wide x 6cm/29/16” long before blocking, not including border. This neckwarmer uses almost every bit of the skein, so I’ve given gauge before blocking so you can measure it on the needles. I describe the best way to get an accurate measurement in the pattern.

You will also need:

• spare cable or circular needle size 4.5mm/US7 or smaller for provisional CO (optional, but recommended)
• (3) 21mm/ 7/8” buttons
• tapestry needle
