V Neck Tutorial - Follow Along - Step by Step Tutorial for Beginners- "Decreasing Stitches Part 3/3"

Making a V-neck is just decreasing stitches from the middle. In this video I explain step by step how to make a V neck.
This is the final video of a short video series "Decreasing stitches". I suggest you watch part 1 & 2 as well if you are a complete beginner.
Part 1: • Learn How to Decrease ...
Part 2: • How to Decrease Stitch...
There are many ways to decrease stitches, so also many ways to make a V-neck. But for beginners, I believe this is the best choice!
Enjoy knitting,
Pelo :)

this works without a third needle on circular needles! just pull your left needle out a little and half of the stitches will be "held" on the cable, which means you won't have to transfer stitches back later too.
source: i tried this lol

[@planetpelo]

That's actually a great idea, thanks for sharing. I'll try that too next time I'm doing a v neck.

[@jodiet]

@@planetpelo thanks for the great tutorial :)

[@elenapetersen6065]

Easy to understand. Thank you

[@luisameroni1340]

theo nly video that really explained everything very clear!!! thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@planetpelo]

Oh thank you. It makes me so happy to know that the video was useful 💐💐💐

[@thisismyname3328]

This helps a lot, my pattern just says, 'decrease into v-neck, keeping the pattern of the arm side the same', which as a beginner, wasn't very useful. I think I may use a large safety pin to eliminate the need for the 3rd needle.

[@planetpelo]

Safety pin sounds like a good idea! Please let me know how it goes 👍🏻

[@julliettasbeautyplace443]

Very thanks for this video

[@planetpelo]

@@user-qg7cj2bc9n thank you for this nice comment 💐

[@azaleejones4293]

Thank you so much ! Yes very clear .. can you do a video showing you decreasing on the both sides at the same time like you mentioned?? I think that would be awesome 🎉

[@planetpelo]

Can you please check this video: ua-cam.com/video/mUFpm5xVvOg/v-deo.htmlsi=wk7yaZFr00kQ9q2u
I think this will be helpful 🌷

[@user-jf6fd5oy6p]

It's very good explanation, I think that will help me. You can also use a lost thread instead of the third needle, so it's less bulky

[@planetpelo]

That's a great idea, thank you 👌🏼

[@user-nt6gs9hb3j]

I like this video - love v necks and this way is very simple! Thanks a lot please make another where you make both sides same time 😊

[@planetpelo]

Thank you for the nice comment. Will try to make a video like you asked 👍🏻

[@Sharon-ov6ft]

This is such a nice tutorial for a simple V neck. I think instead of K2TOG on the left sided of V neck, so the stitch leans to the left, use SSK.

[@planetpelo]

Thanks, and thanks for the tip. I want to knit myself a V neck summer top soon, I will try to use SSK on the left side. 👍

[@sreemoyeesarkar1349]

Thank you so much..very easy & simlple way explanation

[@planetpelo]

Great to hear that this video was helpful 💐

[@julliettasbeautyplace443]

Well done to you.

[@dawnthompson5798]

Thank you for this excellent, clear demonstration for making a V-neck. I am stuck trying to understand how to make a ROUND neck shaping on the front of a raglan pullover (bottom up, pieces) ... on which I will add a neckband later. My pattern (vintage, 70's, old) is very confusing, but your instructions are very clear.
Do you offer a video showing us how to shape a round neck opening ? Many thanks!

[@planetpelo]

Sure, i would love to make such a video. However I am not very fast when it comes to creating these videos. Hope it will still be useful to you once I finish it.

[@Elizabeth-kz6dq]

Thankyou ..very clear explaination

Thanks Ann, I'm very happy to hear that ♥️

Well explained.

[@planetpelo]

Thanks Jude 💐

[@jadeejohn9353]

Which u did this in crochet very good explanation though.

[@nazliece4395]

I do not own 3 needles of the same size, can I use a lifeline instead of a 3rd needle? Can I transfer the stitches on a lifeline, knit the first side then transfer the stitches on the lifeline and go on?

[@planetpelo]

To be honest, I haven't tried using lifelines, or I haven't seen anyone do that for V necks. But, it sounds like it could work. Please let me know if you try it. Good luck. 🥰

[@makenakenzington]

Hi the pattern was really helpful
I was wondering why you skip the first stitch is it really necessary

[@planetpelo]

No, definitely not necessary. I do it because I am used to it, I think the edge looks better that way. You can also knit the first stitch 💐

[@dierheinelfe5491]

Ich habe noch nie jemanden so komisch stricken sehen.

[@planetpelo]

Als ich zum ersten Mal das Stricken lernte, hatte ich eine schlechte Technik und es war sehr schwierig, sie zu reparieren. Aber man sieht in den neuen Videos, dass es mir etwas besser geht. Allerdings stricke ich immer noch komisch.

[@dierheinelfe5491]

@@planetpelo War ja auch kein Vorwurf. Für mich als Linkshänder ist es heute noch schwierig den Anleitungen zu folgen. Selbst in der Schule könnte mir die Lehrerin nicht helfen.

[@planetpelo]

@@dierheinelfe5491 Strickvideos müssen für Linkshänder schwer zu verstehen sein. Daran hatte ich vorher noch nicht gedacht. Wir alle lernen ständig 💐
