The Aviaja neck is a warm and feminine neck warmer that is perfect for wearing under a coat or a jacket. It covers the back, shoulders and chest, providing good warmth, while the turtleneck also adds extra warmth. Therefore, the Aviaja neck is perfect for keeping you warm during the cold months.
The Aviaja neck is worked from the bottom of the back to the bottom on the front piece. First, the back piece is made, then the shoulders are worked separately before being joined, and the rest of the front piece is finished back and forth. Decreases are made on the front piece for a good fit, and a braid is made in the middle. Finally, stitches are picked up for the turtleneck, which is worked in the round in ribbing.
