TO HAVE A WIDE NEAR YOUR NECK OR HOW TO KNIT A NECK CURVE



You start knitting a sweater, a simple knit, straight, with a very easy knitting technique. But you approach the top and think of the neckline. Even if you do not make any special neckline, it is certain that you need to knit the curve around the neck. This brings you to the question: How to knit a neck curve? This is exactly what I will tell you here.
 

KNITTING A NECK CURVE ON THE FRONT OF A SWEATER



Once you have reached the level of the sweater from which you need to start the neckline, it is time for the neck curve.
First, measure the width of the sweater where you start to shrink. For example, if it is 120 stitches, divide them in two and the middle falls into 60 stitches. Right there, put a marker. Start knitting facial stitches until you reach 5 stitches before the middle. Or before the marker, you must have 5 stitches on the needle. From there, start squeezing by knitting two stitches face as one. Then return the stitch you received on the right to the left needle. Take two stitches again, knit them together and return the stitch from the right to the left needle. Continue like this until you knit them all. One finish of the knitting is obtained before the marker.
Then transfer the marker from the left needle to the right and start squeezing the next 5 stitches in the same way - two at the front. You must have folded a total of 10 stitches on both sides of the marker. Then continue to knit facial stitches until the end of knitting. Turn it over and knit in the opposite direction on the back side only the back stitches. But you do not reach the end, because there is no way - knit to the place where you rolled the stitches. Then turn the knitting over again on the front side. Continue the contraction, after the five curled stitches, contract another 3 two by two facial. Knit the remaining stitches to the end again. Turn the knitting. From the back part, knit the row to the place of the three stitches that you folded. Then knit facial stitches again in the other direction, but now twist two stitches as one facial and continue until the end of the row. From the packaging, return the knitting to the two folds and wrap 1 stitch. Continue knitting facial to the end. Return the wrap stitches from the wrapper. When you come from the front, tighten another stitch. Thus the folds are as follows: 5, 3, 2, 1, 1 in each front row. On the back side, knit back stitches and nothing more. When making all the folds, keep in mind that in the front of the sweater, the neck curve is always deeper. Therefore, from here up knit facial stitches a few rows. Estimate exactly how many they are by measuring in centimeters, because it is not possible to say in advance how many rows should be knitted for different yarns. For example, these rows can be 4-5 cm. After knitting them, finish the knitting on the front side.

The stitches on the other side of the marker remain strung on your hoop. What to do with them? You repeat the same procedure you did on the other side. You had stitched 5 stitches. You tie a thread where these stitches end and start knitting. But not on the front of the knitting, from the beginning of the sweater inwards, but from the back. Sew 3 stitches directly. Continue, knitting the row to the end face. Then turn the knitting from the front side and knit facial stitches to the end. Turn again from the packaging and twist two stitches. Knit from the back part of the back stitches to the end, turn the knitting and start knitting front stitches back to the end. Then fold the next stitches. Sequentially squeeze 5, 3, 2, 1, 1. Then again knit the same 4-5 cm from the front up and finish knitting. And so the front of your sweater is ready.


You were impressed by the following: When squeezing on the left side of the marker, always squeeze on the front of the knitting. And when you make folds on the other - the right side of the marker, the folds are always on the reverse side. On one side, the front ones shrink, and on the other - the back ones.

KNITTING A NECK CURVE ON THE BACK OF A SWEATER



In the same way, knit the neck curve on the back of the sweater. Again, measure according to the height of your body in which part to start the bends. Do the same procedures on the left and right as on the front. The difference is that the front part, which is knitted after finishing the folds, is much bigger (the neck curve is deeper), while the back part is much smaller - it should be 2 cm, at most 3 cm.
So, knitting a neck curve is interesting and fun - you constantly turn the front and back of the knitting and tighten the stitches until you achieve the desired result.

It's easy! Try it! You still have to finish your sweater!
