Greetings from France 🥰. I tried this on a swatch and it turned out REAL neat, easy to pick up stitches and knit the neckband. Had fun with this NEW project. Thanks so much for sharing. I also do have another request IF YOU HAVE THE TIME ONLY on how to make the V neck and pick up stitches for neckband 😅. I looked it up on your video list but couldn't find 😂. Thanks for all kindness and generosity in making these videos for the YOUNG AND THE OLD. I am 70 years and wish to get my old hands (for as long as they last) on making a V neck sweater. Thanks for sharing caring and making a 70 year old SMILE 😊😊😊❤️❤️❤️🥰🥰🥰🤗🤗🤗👍👍👍

I am loving this technique. Thank you! I completed the first side of the front of my sweater, but was curious if there’s a reason for stitching in the back loop when knitting across to begin the second side, rather than just simply knitting in the front loop like normal. Thanks!

I just do German Short Rows so much the same but for me much more simple.

@10rowsaday Год назад

German short rows is a great method. I used it during my test runs in search for a way to shape neckline without binding off stitches (in fact, German short rows were my first choice to test), but I found them slightly finicky when used to shape the left side of the neckline. Shadow wraps seem easier and more straightforward. But I am happy to know that German short rows work well for you. Maybe, I should give them another try.

@marianemartin2644 Год назад

@@10rowsaday perhaps because I knit combination continental it works well for me. There are as many ways to knit as there are people who knit.

@monicavazquez3744 Год назад

Isn’t this short row technique? Just beautiful! Does it work for any size sweater ? Thank you.

@10rowsaday Год назад

You could think of it as a variation of a short row method and yes, it works for all sizes. Simply follow the shaping instructions in your pattern but make an additional stitch and turn the work instead of binding off stitches at the neckline. Happy knitting :-)

@machomamma Год назад

This is a fantastic technique, Myrna! Do you think this could be used to make live stitches on a top-down heel flap, rather than having to pick up from the sides later?

@10rowsaday Год назад

That's an interesting idea, Mira. I haven't tested it, but I think it could work. Let me know if you get to trying it out. Thank you :-)

@machomamma Год назад

@@10rowsaday Hi Myrna, Most of the socks I make are toe-up. One of the reasons is I hated picking up the side stitches. But next time I find a pattern that I like that happens to be top-down I'll give your technique a shot.

@terrimetcalf3378 Год назад

In an actual pattern, would you also add short rows on the stitches for the shoulders before binding them off so they would be sloped?

@10rowsaday Год назад

Hi Teri. I'd do it only if I need to keep the stitches of the shoulders open. In most cases, it is better to use the sloped bind off - www.10rowsaday.com/sloped-bindoff

@theanimefan00 Год назад

Can't wait to use this method as a baseline of a turtleneck! Dosen't the stitches gonna double in number this way? Should you knit the twin stitches together when making a turtleneck with ribstitch from this neckline?

@10rowsaday Год назад

Yes, we end up with more stitches than the stitches of the neckline shaping. Those additional stitches take care of the holes that inevitably form between rows of shaping. If the final number of stitches is bigger than the number of stitches you need for the neckband, make evenly-distributed decreases in the first round of the neckline. Happy knitting :-)

@theanimefan00 Год назад

@@10rowsaday thank you for your answer! I ended up only decreasing 1 for an even number of stitches to a 1x1 rib for the turtleneck. As I went with the absolute minimum measurements for the neckhole, it looks pretty good and tidy so far. Will come back and comment if it is finished, if it fits so snug as I imagined. 💞 Thank you so much!

thank you very much. my necklıne is unfortunetly to big wich ı knit.what can ı do to make it smaler please

@10rowsaday Год назад

Hi Selma. The easiest way to make a neckline smaller is to make a "stay" - thread a piece of yarn into a wool needle and run it through the surface of the fabric along the neckline on the wrong side of the work. Pull the yarn a little bit to make the neckline smaller, but not too much, otherwise the neckline will be puckered. Then secure the yarn and hide the tails. Good luck :-)

@leah3084 Год назад

I am confused, did you knit up to 2st before the twin stitches or 1st. before. Love this method

@10rowsaday Год назад

If the pattern instructions tell you to bind off 2 stitches, work to 2 stitches before the twin stitches, then add a twin to the next stitch and turn your work. Happy knitting :-)

@kackaurban6028 3 месяца назад

hi, thanks for the tutorial, but i have a question, how do i cast off the rest of the neckline? do i have to cut the yarn? or is this just a preparation for like a turtleneck?

@10rowsaday 3 месяца назад

When the shaping is finished, the working yarn will be at the neckline and you can start to make a neckline band right away. No need to cut and re-attach the yarn.

@kackaurban6028 2 месяца назад

@@10rowsaday thank u! will try it

@leah3084 Год назад

What if I want a deeper neckline, can I continue in pattern few more rows until binding off the shoulders?

@10rowsaday Год назад

Of course. You can use this method to make any kind of neckline. Just remember to make a twin stitch at the neckline edge every time you get there even when you don't make any decreases. Good luck :-)

@theaduproject Год назад

Can you do the exact thing for armholes?

@10rowsaday Год назад

It is an interesting idea! We rarely pick up stitches from armholes, but if that's what your pattern tells you to do, you can use this method to leave a set of open stitches along the edge. Happy knitting :-)

@botsproef8573 Год назад

Beginner knitter here. Noticed you end up with 20 stitches in the neck. Now i’m scared to end up with to many stitches or is it the same as if I would have bound off and picked them up afterwards.

@10rowsaday Год назад

You can always adjust the number of stitches in the first round of the neckline. Decrease stitches if you end up with too many stitches, or make increases if you need more stitches. Happy knitting :-)

@cf743 10 месяцев назад

Hi I have two questions for you. I have followed your method based on shaping in my pattern, but I find that there are 10 sts on each side of neck after finishing neckline, when using old method pattern says to pick up 6sts on each side of neckline. How can I adapt this to my pattern, or should I be knitting row sts together through back loop where the increased sts were? This would then give me the correct st count? I hope this makes sense as I couldn’t see in the video whether you knitted those inc sts together or not and not clear in the instructions. Other than that this is a brilliant way for next shaping as old way looks like a complete amateurish mess😊. My apologies, this is my first sweater, so any advice is much appreciatedappreciated Carol

@10rowsaday 10 месяцев назад

Hi Carol. Yes, you can knit two stitches together through the back loop in equally-spaced spots to bring the number of stitches to the number recommended in the pattern you follow. In some cases, the number of stitches that you get using this method will be the same as or very similar to the number of stitches in the pattern. It all depends on the stitch pattern used to make the neck band. Happy knitting!

@filukkasunivers2389 Месяц назад

I cant see the turning stitch on the pearl side.......nooooo it went so well to this point

@10rowsaday Месяц назад

The turning stitches at the left side of the neckline are not as visible as the ones at the right side of the neckline. If you have trouble finding them, place a removable marker next to that stitch. The marker will help you to recognize it in the next row. Happy knitting!

@LevantineDictionary Год назад

Do i need a circular needle to do this or I can do it with straight ones?

@10rowsaday Год назад

You can do it with straight needles, but if you plan to use these stitches to make a seamless neckband, you will need to use circular or double-pointed needles. Happy knitting :-)

@patriciafuchs7023 Год назад

Dear Maryna, it's me again from Austria, I already commented this (since it is so 🤩), but may I ask, how can I work the shoulder in short rows at the same time (!) as the neckline? My pattern says to do exactly that and it is so confusing, because I have never worked that before. Is there any knitting help from you that I could possibly watch and understand how that is done? The darn pattern does not give any more instuctions and I can't find nothing in the Internet about that. Thank you 😘

@10rowsaday Год назад

Hi Patricia. Sorry I haven't responded sooner. I understand how it can get confusing when we combine this method with short row shaping. It helps to follow the pattern instructions step by step. Whenever the pattern tells you to work short rows, focus on short rows and don't worry about the neckline shaping.. When the pattern tells you to bind off stitches at the neckline edge, slip those stitches instead of binding them off as it is described in this tutorial. If you need more help along the way, I'll be more than happy to help. Just send me an email with a quick description of the issue. Happy knitting, my friend 🙂

@lauraservidei5728 Год назад

So, if I counted correctly, you start with 15 stitches, and you end up with 20 live stitches + 6 bound off stitches. Isn't that a bit too many? Thank you for a great concept!

@10rowsaday Год назад

When we pick up stitches from a bound off neckline, we usually pick up an extra stitch from the spot between the rows. It helps to prevent holes along the bottom of the neckband. With the method described in this tutorial, we add these stitches as we shape the neckline. Happy knitting :-)

@heidih3048 6 месяцев назад

Am I the only one seeing that this method is not producing a smooth- looking fabric near the neckline? When you look closely, the fabric looks irregular close to the area where the neckline is finally bound off. You can see it briefly at the beginning of the video when the finished swatch is shown.

@10rowsaday 6 месяцев назад

The photo of the finished swatch is at www.10rowsaday.com/stretchy-neckline Because some of the stitches are twisted (we do it on purpose to prevent the holes), the line between the main fabric and the neckband is not perfectly even. It is a small sacrifice we have to accept if we want to avoid a stiff bulky ridge at the neckline.

@filukkasunivers2389 Месяц назад

wtf now what do i do???? im at the end, you just gonna leave us hanging

@10rowsaday Месяц назад

Once the neckline is shaped, use the live stitches to make the neckband, cowl neck, or whatever other treatment you want to add to the neckline.
