Wanna-Be-V-Neck Sweater
The Wanna-Be-V-Neck Pullover is a classic, timeless design with a couple of smart details, that make it more feminine. A true wardrobe staple. It is a modified drop shoulder construction, knitted top down and seamless (inspired by contiguous set-in sleeve method developed by Susie Myers). The key feature is a V-Neckline, which is fairly shallow, so it feels more like a regular round neck. Another feature is a lateral braid around all the ribbings, which can also be left out. The shoulder stitch creates a lovely line across the shoulder. It can be knitted in a more fitted version or in a more “oversize” version.
The yoke is worked in rows, before the front and back are joined at the base of the armhole to be worked in the round. Sleeves are picked up at the edge of the armhole and worked in rounds to the cuff. For the neckband you pick up the stitches around the V-neck.
