Olive Turtleneck
-
Detail
Olive Turtleneck is the top down sister pattern to our popular Olive Cardigan (as well as Olive Cardigan for kids). It features a ribbed turtleneck that compliments the allover lace patterning. Worked with 1 strand of our fingering-weight yarn held together with 2 strands of Silk Mohair, this turtleneck boasts the soft, cloud- like texture of our other Olive patterns.
Olive Turtleneck is worked seamlessly and in the round, beginning with the ribbed neckband, and continuing with the raglan-construction yoke. Then sleeve stitches are held aside, to be finished after the body is completed. Ribbed edges finish the sleeves and the body.
In the same family, you will also find the sister patterns Olive Sweater (kids), Olive Cardigan, Olive Cardigan (kids), Olive Top and Olive Scarf.Sizes: XS (S, M, L, XL, 2XL, 3XL, 4XL)

Bri******uel
This became my go-to layer for farmers market runs chilly mornings but sunny afternoons the olive matches my canvas tote and corduroys perfectly the knit is thick enough to block wind but thin enough to move freely and the neckline stays perfectly in place no adjusting needed shipped in eco-friendly mailer and arrived smelling faintly of cedar — such a thoughtful touch

Wore it to my first piano recital as an adult student and felt both confident and comfortable the turtleneck didn’t distract or restrict my arm movement the olive looked sophisticated under stage lights and the fabric didn’t shine or wrinkle even during long practice sessions shipped super fast and the support team replied to my sizing question in under an hour
Nann********guez
Love the softness and rich olive hue fits like a dream the length is ideal for tucking or leaving loose only the tag was slightly stiff but snipped it off easily arrived in 3 days well packed with a reusable drawstring bag

This turtleneck solved my ‘cold office hot commute’ struggle it layers perfectly under my wool coat and breathes enough that I don’t overheat on the subway the olive tone works with every pair of jeans I own and the cuffs stay put no riding up shipping was faster than expected and the tissue paper was recyclable with soy ink

Wore it hiking in the Smokies last weekend — surprised how warm it kept me without overheating the fabric wicks subtly and didn’t hold sweat smell after 6 hours the olive blended beautifully with forest tones and the ribbed texture held up against backpack straps shipping took 4 days but tracking was accurate and the note inside said ‘stay curious’ — made my day
Antoi**********rson
Great fit and color true to size the olive is versatile and the knit feels substantial but not heavy only wish the neck were *slightly* taller for extra chill mornings shipped fast and arrived folded neatly no damage
Ms. ********Bode
Finally a turtleneck that doesn’t itch or gap at the throat this one stays snug but breathable and the drape is elegant not boxy I styled it with wide-leg trousers for a gallery opening and got three compliments before coffee finished shipping was prompt and the box smelled faintly of lavender
Ali*******ertz
Perfect under blazers for my hybrid office days no static cling no rolling at the neckline and it stayed smooth all day the olive is richer than expected and the ribbing holds its shape even after two washes arrived in 3 days with zero wrinkles

Wore this olive turtleneck to my sister’s autumn wedding and felt so polished yet cozy the fabric hugged just right without squeezing and the color made my eyes pop everyone asked where I got it shipping was lightning fast and the packaging had a sweet handwritten note
