Basics of Shaped Necklines - design and modification // Technique Tuesday

This video explains the concepts behind how shaped necks are designed and calculated. A basic crew neck is used as an example. These concepts can be used to plan modifications to a published sweater pattern or when designing your own sweater.

KNITTERS GRAPH PAPER
There are lots of free graph paper PDFs out there. The one I used for this video can be found here: https://tricksyknitter.com/blogs/lear...

If you want to generate graph paper that matches your actual stitch gauge, this one is nice (it's meant for A4 paper, so exact size may be a bit off if you print to 8.5x11'' paper): http://tata-tatao.to/knit/matrix/e-in...
