[Pattern] Elmo Collar - English

Elmo is a fun gaugeless collar pattern you can easily adjust the neck circumference of as you knit. It has two sister/brother designs; MEL the top-down collar and LEM the bottom-up one, and Elmo is the sideway version of this playful doughnut shaped collar design. Just a single color yarn is enough to enjoy the fun shape, but you can of course play with colors or textures!
