How to decrease to a neck and work a diagonal shoulder – Back piece

In this DROPS video we show how to decrease a neck and how to work a diagonal shoulder, used in the «Unexpected» vest in DROPS 218-21. We only work the last part of the vest and we use the stitch numbers from the smallest size.

This vest is worked in DROPS Alpaca Bouclé and DROPS Kid-Silk but in the video we work with only 1 yarn; DROPS Nepal.
