Vespertine collar knitting pattern by Carina Spencer

"Vespertine is an ode to all things that come to life at night. The cables and bobbles inspired by climbing datura flowers are knitted in soft, very thick wool (super bulky) and edged with cabled ribbing. The increases incorporated into the pattern of stitch create an A-line silhouette, gently draping the collar around your neck or over one shoulder."
