Beatrice Ribbed Tie Coat     I'm in love with this collar. I was inspired to design this by something Tonia Barry designed for Classic Elite—hers had a big stockinette stitch collar with a big-ol pom-pom tie around the neck. Really cute, but I wanted something a little more tailored to my tastes. I'm really happy that this came out the way I wanted it to. There is 1 button about 3" up the collar, that makes it really hug my neck. It's warm and cozy, and I'm amazed at how fast I made it. Only 2 weeks! I love this sweater so much, I wear it every day throughout the cool seasons (just ask my coworkers). It's better than turning the heat up.       $5.00 Pattern available as a downloadable pdf.
