The Knitting for Olive Karl John Collar knitting pattern is an English-language A5-sized high-quality print magazine.

A4 size print instructions are only available in our store in Herttoniemenranta.

The instructions use Knitting for Olive's Merino and Soft Silk Mohair yarns. Soft Silk Mohair yarn can also alternatively be replaced With Sandnes Garni's Tynn Silk Mohair yarn or Kremke Soul Wool's Silky Kid yarn.

The Karl Johan Collar is a Quintessential Scandinavian cold weather accessory, named after the brown-capped Karl Johan mushrooms (Boletus edulis) that pop up from the mossy floors of the pine forests of Scandinavia at the beginning of the cold season. On an autumn or winter day, just grab your collar, tuck it inside your coat, and you get that cozy and snuggly extra layer of warmth around your neck and upper torso. The Karl Johan Collar is worked seamlessly with two Strands held together (one Strand of Merino and one Strand of Soft Silk Mohair). It begins in the round with the ribbed folded-over neck, and work continues in stockinette stitch, with modified contiguous saddle shoulders and short-row shaping construction. Shoulders are then bound off, and front and back panels are worked separately back and forth to size.
