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.

If you’re looking for a fun project to play with brioche knitting, check out the My Buddy knitting pattern/recipe from Casuarinagirl on Ravelry.

This project doesn’t include a brioche tutorial, so it’s good to know the basics, including how to increase and decrease, but you can always practice on a swatch before you start the project if you want.

The design is meant to be flexible for the yarn you have and what size and shape of project you want to make, from a skinny neck scarf to a asymmetrical triangle or a more classic triangular shape.

The shape you end up with will depend on how often you increase (and then decrease on the other side). The pattern mentions increasing every fourth, fifth or six row (and the one shown increases and decreases every sixth row) but you can do it even more or less often depending on the shape you’re looking for an how much yarn you want to use.

You can work to whatever depth you would like, or use almost half of the yarn you have set aside for the project and begin decreasing.

When it comes to yarn, she used three strands of yarn held together to make a super fluffy shawl, but you can work it with whatever yarn and needles you like to make a wrap that’s all your own.

If you are new to brioche (or to increasing and decreasing in brioche) it might be a good idea to make a little scarf or head wrap first before diving in to the bigger pattern, just so you’re more comfortable with the technique. Or just give it a go; nothing about brioche knitting is that difficult. (But you might want to use a lifeline because I find brioche hard to rip out or fix mistakes in properly.)
