GINKO collar - bundle with GABO magazine (yarn + magazine)

The collar is worked flat in brioche stitch (English rib). The ties, as well as the top, bottom, left, and right edges, are worked using I-cord edging. Work begins with the left tie, worked in I-cord. Then, continuing the I-cord along the top edge, stitches are added for the main body of the collar. In the next step, the right tie is worked in I-cord. Next, the main part is worked in brioche (English rib) in rows, while maintaining I-cord edges along both sides. The pattern includes two increase sections to shape the collar. The collar is finished with an I-cord edge.
