How to work a neckline with a slight bend in the neck

In this DROPS video we show how to cast off on the neck edge, so that it gets a slightly better fit in the neck, as is done in the "Wild Mint Tea Jacket" in DROPS 227-6. We have only worked a small part of the jacket with a smaller number of stitches than what is written in the pattern and we work only a small part of the band before we cast off.

This jacket is worked in DROPS Alpaca and DROPS Kid-Silk but in the video, we use a thicker yarn; DROPS Snow. The seam in the middle at the back can look a bit thick, so at the end we show 2 parts that are sewn together with DROPS Alpaca and DROPS Kid-Silk.

You must read a pattern with this neckline to be able to follow this video properly. You’ll find a pattern by clicking on the picture below.

Our videos do not have sound. We are a worldwide company and our videos are watched by people speaking endless of different languages and many do not understand English. So since there is not a given language for us to use, we instead have written instructions to accompany the video, and then there is no sound to disturb while watching.

L.s., zou er niet een herkenningsteken bij een breipatroon aangeboden kunnen worden zodat je weet dat het om werken met rondbreinaalden gaat?\r\nDie patronen kan ik dan gelijk overslaan omdat ik niet met rondbreinaalden WIL werken. Ook heel veel ouderen met mij!!!! Wij zijn dat niet gewend en vinden dat heel onprettig breien. Wat nog beter zou zijn is: DEZELFDE PATRONEN AANBIEDEN MÉT RONDBREI- OF RECHTE NAALDEN.\r\nMet vr. groet, M.Petersen.
