Hack Your Knits: Change Any Neckline!

You love the sweater. You hate the neckline. Both of those can be true, and you can still keep the sweater. In this one I walk you through converting a V-neck to a crew and a crew to a V — the real stitch math, worked on a half-scale model so you can watch every decrease happen without committing a whole garment just to find out you got it wrong. What's "Hack Your Knits"? New series. It's about taking a pattern that's 90% of the way there and making it fully yours. Somebody else already made every decision baked into that pattern, and you are allowed to overrule them. This time it's necklines. I'll walk you through the mathy part, because guessing at neckline decreases is how you end up frogging on a Sunday night. In this video: – How the same decrease count gives you a sharp V or a soft scoop depending purely on how you space it – Where to read your existing shaping so you know your starting numbers Subscribe if you want the rest of the series, and boop that like button if your neckline problem just got smaller.
