How to work a double knitted V-neck with knit 2 / purl 2
Keywords: circular needle, collar, double knitting, edge, jacket, jumper, rib,
In this DROPS video we show how we work a double knitted V-neck. The neck should be worked in the round, but we only show parts of what happens on the front piece. We are showing:
1) Time: 00.04-01.36.
How to put the 2 mid-stiches on a needle and knit, and at the same time knit up stitches from the right side on the neckline. Insert 1 marker between the 2 mid-stitches; these stitches are always knitted. Knit up 2 more stitches on the left side, but the number of stitches must be divisible by 4.
2) Time: 01:37 -03:12.
Count back to the beginning of the round so the mid-stitches are knitted when working rib. Work rib (knit 2, purl 2), until there are 2 stitches left before the marker, knit 2 together (even it one stitch should have been a purl stitch), then slip 1 stitch as if to knit, knit 1 and pass the slipped stitch over the knitted stitch = 2 knitted stitches mid-front, purl 1 stitch and continue the rib to the end of the round.
3) Time: 03:13 -04:10.
Decrease like this on the next round. Above the 6 middle stitches, there will then only be knitted stitches.
4) Time: 04:12 -04:29.
Work in the round and decrease on every round until the finish measurement.
5) Time: 04:30-05:52.
Work 1 round without decreasing = folding edge.
6) Time: 05:54-08:21.
Now increase on each side of the mid-stitches every round as follows:
Work rib until there is 1 stitch left before the marker, make 1 yarn over, knit 2 (mid-stitches), 1 yarn over and work rib to the end of the round; yarn overs are worked twisted on the next round.
7) Time: 08:25-09:06.
Continue to increase until the finish measurement. Cast off with knit over knit and purl over purl.
8) Time: 09:10-09:38.
Fold the neck double to the inside and sew a couple of stitches to keep it in place.
9) Time: 09:39-09:56.
Finish the double knitted V-neck.

How can I get sound when playing the video

Dear Naomi, Our videos do not have sound. We are a worldwide company and our videos are watched by people around the world, speaking different languages, many of whom do not understand English. We have therefore written instructions to accompany this video, and there is no sound to disturb while watching. Enjoy! 06.10.2023 - 09:29
