Materials and Needles size:
200g of Merino Superwash. I used a yarn size perfect for 5/6mm needles. You really don't need to check the gauge: the larger are your yarn/needles the larger are your collar. Justbesh use you use a needle that fit your yarn \~_^

-k:knit -p: purl Bark st: slip 4 sts to cn and hold in front, k2 then purl the last 2 sts from cn [ATTENTON: purl the last 2 sts on the cn NOT the first 2!], k2 from the cn
Note:
This pattern it's perfect if you're new to braid work: you just have to know to knit and purl, have a big brooch (or a bouble pointed needle) to use as a cn. Frozen bark - a knitting pattern by Eleonora Sioli - http://mossycocoons.blogspot.com/
