Reconstructed Turtleneck

I’ve had this cute little striped turtleneck in my closet for years. I rarely wore it but couldn’t toss it cuz I just loved how it fit and truly dug the stripes. Finally I realized that it was the turtle on the neck that was keeping this sweater in the drawer, so off came the turtleneck. Sorry, no before pics as I hadn’t planned on sharing this recon, but I’m sure you all can imagine the before pic – we’ve all seen too tight turtlenecks before, right?

No more turtle on this neck :)

 
I wanted to make the neckline slightly off the shoulder but it didn’t quite work out that way. Instead what I ended up with was a squarish, way too deep neckline that didn’t work at all. I put the sweater on my dress form and started playing around with it and this is what I ended up with:

Hello cute little deconstructed neckline.
