The turtle neck, also known as a roll-neck or skivvy, is a type of clothing that covers the neck and can be worn as a standalone garment or as a layer under other clothing. The history of the turtle neck can be traced back to medieval Europe, where it was worn by both men and women as a way to protect the neck from the cold.

During the 19th century, turtle necks became popular among sailors and dock workers as a practical garment that could be worn on its own or as a layer under other clothing. The turtle neck then became a popular style for athletes and outdoorsmen in the early 20th century.

In the 1950s and 1960s, turtle necks became associated with the beatnik and intellectual subcultures, and were worn by artists and intellectuals. By the 1970s, the turtle neck had become a mainstream fashion item, worn by both men and women.

In modern fashion, turtle necks are still worn by men. They are considered a timeless and classic style that is versatile and can be dressed up or down. They are popular as a layering piece in colder months and can also be worn as a standalone garment. Turtle necks are also popular among men in professional fields as they are considered elegant and sophisticated.

Overall, turtle necks have a long history, from medieval Europe to modern fashion, and are still worn by men today. They are considered a timeless and classic style that is versatile and can be dressed up or down.

A few years ago I wrote a post that was full of patterns for knit mushrooms, but I don’t think I ever did a post that was knitting patterns with mushrooms on them, so today’s the day.

I love the Fungi Beanie from Jacki Bean, which calls for worsted weight yarn and uses duplicate stitch to add the mushrooms and other details. I think the colors she used for the design are tonal/multicolor so it doesn’t use as many colors as it looks like, but you can use whatever red, green, brown and white yarn you have in your stash for those details.

How about some mushroom socks? The Magic Toadstool sock form Stone Knits includes a ring of mushrooms around the leg, contrasting heel and toe and a little more colorwork at the toe for extra cuteness. As shown it uses four colors and comes in three sizes.

Or there’s the Fairy Ring Socks from Katie Green, which have mushrooms of two sizes on the legs, plus a bit of wavy grass. They have a contrasting cuff, heel and toe and some colorwork flecks in the body of the sock as well. This one is available in eight sizes to fit everyone from a baby to an XL adult.

This trippy cowl from Hunt Hand Knits looks like a lot of fun to knit. The Fungus Among Us Cowl is shown using four colors of DK weight yarn, though you can do it with as few as two if you’d rather.

Stitch some mushroom mittens with this cute pattern from Holly C Watson. This design uses three colors, and it’s shown with a self-striping yarn on the mushroom caps, which makes the colors change without you having to do any work. The pattern is charted but it’s a pretty easy repeat. The mittens are one size.

If you don’t feel like knitting mushrooms but still want to give your project a touch of the forest, the Toadstools Cardigan from Julie Taylor may be what you’re looking for. It’s stitched as a plain cardigan worked in DK weight yarn and sized for newborns up to 4 years old. The mushrooms are added with embroidery and the pattern includes the design, which you can trace onto water soluble stabilizer to stitch the mushrooms onto your sweater. Or anything else you want. You can find this pattern on Ravelry.
