I have just discovered this video. I've watched the M1R and M1L parts so many times, and I think I've finally gotten the hang of it! Your instructions are so clear and the filming is perfect, as I can clearly see all the stitches and what you are picking up for the increases. I cannot thank you enough for taking the time to make this very well done tutorial, allowing me to increase my knowledge and become a better knitter. ❤️
Thank you for your comment :) People usually understand better if you know the reason behind. I'm glad I helped you a bit! And I have many more raglan sweater tutorials, if you want, go to my playlists → ua-cam.com/users/BeginnersLUCKraftplaylists And if you're interested in knitting V-neck Raglan, watch this to understand better → ua-cam.com/video/OFcjqId55gw/v-deo.html Good luck and Enjoy knitting :)
Wow, wow wow!! I’m so happy I found you on UA-cam. Your teaching is priceless!!! 💕💕 I’m an intermediate knitter and your instructions are so clear I’m not scared to try this pattern. Thank you so much!! I’ve watched the video twice and made my notes to start this gorgeous sweater soon. 😊
Thank you for your comment :) I've recently uploaded another V-neck Raglan Sweater tutorial. I like the new one better, I talked more about size adjusting, so please check it out, there are 3 parts, and the first one is the making a plan video. ua-cam.com/video/OFcjqId55gw/v-deo.html If you have any question, let me know! I'm willing to help people :) Good luck & Enjoy knitting!
So I finally watched the entire video and how perfect! I prefer the fit of v-neck to crew neck and although there are a few patterns out there, they have always seemed so intimidating. I could never understand how the v-neck was constructed, how to adjust for new beginning of round, and was confused by top-down sweaters that did not start with ribbing. Your tutorials are truly the best out there because they go beyond standard instructions - you explain the reason behind a certain method which just opens up a world of possibilities. I remember your cable hat video and how from a magic number, I can then modify patterns and this was another lesson in mathematics and design. I noticed you did not do short rows - is that something that is not needed for v-neck? Thanks again for the invaluable tutorial. This ONE is a keeper. I feel that now I can recreate those varsity-style sweaters The Gap used to sell before their quality deteriorated. Thanks a million. You are a gem!
Thank you for your comment :) At the first of all, I'm very appreciated what you wrote it here, very encouraging! I just want to do my best because I've learnt how to knit all by myself, and it was so hard for me to understand it without any reasoning. I really needed to know the mechanism, once I understood how it works, I never forget, and that way I can create my own pattern too. And I want people to enjoy knitting without any intimidation. Anyway, thank you, thank you, and thank you for your warm kind comment as usual. Lastly I would like to answer your question why I didn't add the short row for raising the back of neck. 1. This is my first tutorial for V-neck Sweater tutorial. It took so long for me to make this tutorial, because I was struggled explaining how to adjust sizes. Because a lot of math kicks in. Math is my strongest subject, so it's easy for me, but not too many people like it. Anyway, so I would like to keep this video simple as much as possible, and see. 2. The reason why it fits better if you have a few rows at the back of your neck more than front. Because there is a bit muscle under back of your neck. so anatomically you need a bit more fabric for the back of your neck, otherwise that muscle will be pulling the fabric a bit, and make you a little uncomfortable. However, as you can see, with V-neck shape, there are lots of space in front of your neck, so even the muscle pulls the fabric, it doesn't really matter. If this V-shape was so small, that's another story. Does it make sense? And do you know what? This sweater without raising fits me really well! Anyway, I wrote too long... If you have any other question, let me know anytime :) Enjoy knitting!
@@BeginnersLUCKraft Thanks so much - that makes a lot of sense about the short rows. I have a lot of yarn, all I need is to select a color and get started.
Thank You so much for your time. Awesome video and such a clear explanation. As a longtime knitter - from the bottom up - the old way - I want to try the top down method with the right amount of stitches to obtain the right ease.

Thank you for your comment :) Yes I love everything about this sweater! And it was super easy! I'm glad I did it! You should knit one for yourself too! Enjoy knitting!
@@BeginnersLUCKraft Hi again. I'm starting this sweater tonight. My swatch was 18.5 sts in 4x4". Neck measurement is 17.5, but I'll round up to 18" for a slightly looser fit. Cast on: 56 sts. Although I'll be making a larger size, I presume all will fall into place later. Can't wait to see how this turns out!
@@Enig_Mata Hi again, Yes your possible cast on numbers are either 52 or 56, I just did the math, but as you told me, just slight difference, so you're right, better take a larger size! I can't wait to see it either! Let me know! Good luck and Enjoy Knitting!
@@BeginnersLUCKraft Thanks for clarifying. One more question for tonight 😃 I'm not clear on the increases. Is M1L2 the same as Knit Left loop? I found a video and just want to make sure i'm doing the right one. ua-cam.com/video/dNw5830AlgE/v-deo.html M1R2 - Knit Right loop - ua-cam.com/video/O7A6DDEyTTk/v-deo.html Thanks for your patience.
@@Enig_Mata Both video are correct. You use the previous stitch to increase. When you do M1R, pick up the right loop in previous stitch, so it's just underneath of stitch on the needle, that's why I said M1R1 (1 down from top) M1L2, you can't pick up left loop in previous stitch with right needle, so when you do M1L2, you knit the target stitch first, then pick up the left loop, HOWEVER, don't pick up 1 down this time, because the stitch 1 down from the needle is the one you just knit, it's not the previous row. So this time you need to pick up 2 down from the needle stitch. Well anyway, the video you put the link, she is doing it correctly! Bye for now :)
I am done with the candy lane and i love it so so much! And now i am in my sleeves part on the v-neck! i would love to see another colorwork in another design someday in your tutorial.thank you so much for being a great youtube teacher!
Is it an amazing sweater? I have seen so many tutorials and even free pattern, but this is so comprehensive. I added a bit of color to the armband of mine. I can't wait to make another one with cables.
Hey! M really very happy with your tutorial. This is the first one i watch. M a beginner doing it by my ownself. So it's really helpful. I just want to know the basis of the increasing rows formula. Thank you 🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
Thank you for watching and your comment also! I have 1 other V-neck raglan sweater tutorial, Part 1 - I talked about more V-neck plan, Part - 2 from cast on to body, Part -3 sleeves. Here is the Part 1 → ua-cam.com/video/OFcjqId55gw/v-deo.html These are more beginners friendly. If you have any help, let me know! Good luck & Enjoy Knitting!
I took a couple weeks off after finishing the body and had to kick it in gear this week to finish the sleeves. I just cast off after completing the neck!!! I can not believe I knitted a v-neck sweater without a pattern - thanks to you!!! I knitted this sweater with aran weight yarn as it was inexpensive. Since I have the practice done, I can't wait to redo in nicer yarn. This was an amazing lesson.
@@BeginnersLUCKraft Thank you - your videos are so amazing. I am so excited to knit another one - this time I think I'll add cables. If I wanted to make a deeper v-neck, how could I do that?
@@Enig_Mata 2 ways to do it. 1. Change the Cast on # - make it bigger which means automatically the back of neck stitches will be more = deeper, but if you don't want to mess with cast on number. Here is the option #2 2. You repeat IR1 to IR4 for V-neck shape and Raglan line increase. Creating V shape is only on IR1, so I want you to add 2 more rows. IR1(RS): K1, M1L, K UNTIL LAST 1 ST BEFORE [MA], M1R, K1, [SMA] K1, M1L, K UNTIL LAST 1 ST BEFORE [MB], M1R, K1, [SMB], K1, M1L, K UNTIL LAST 1 ST BEFORE [MC], M1R, K1, [SMC], K1, M1L, K UNTIL LAST 1 ST BEFORE [MD] M1R, K1, [SMD], K1, M1L, K UNTIL LAST 1 ST, M1R, K1 IR2(WS): ALL PURL IR3(RS): K UNTIL LAST 1 ST BEFORE [MA], M1R, K1, [SMA] K1, M1L, K UNTIL LAST 1 ST BEFORE [MB], M1R, K1, [SMB], K1, M1L, K UNTIL LAST 1 ST BEFORE [MC], M1R, K1, [SMC], K1, M1L, K UNTIL LAST 1 ST BEFORE [MD] M1R, K1, [SMD], K UNTIL END IR4(WS): ALL PURL *** Here are additional rows *** IR5(RS): K UNTIL LAST 1 ST BEFORE [MA], M1R, K1, [SMA] K1, M1L, K UNTIL LAST 1 ST BEFORE [MB], M1R, K1, [SMB], K1, M1L, K UNTIL LAST 1 ST BEFORE [MC], M1R, K1, [SMC], K1, M1L, K UNTIL LAST 1 ST BEFORE [MD] M1R, K1, [SMD], K UNTIL END IR6(WS): ALL PURL REP IR1 TO IR6 UNTIL V NECK SHAPE IS DONE Example) you have 30 sts total for back of your neck. 30 / 2 = 15 IF only rep of IR1 TO IR4 --- Original pattern you will end it up knitting 15 X 4 = 60 rows to finish V neck shape However new pattern is rep of 6 rows --- only R1 is the V neck shape increasing, so 15 X 6 = 90 rows to complete the V shape. This way, 30 more rows deeper than original pattern. And you don't have to change the cast on #. HOWEVER! You really have to watch raglan line at the same time! You might want to stop increasing for raglan line before V neck shape, because now V neck shape is deeper. I hope you understand what I mean. Well you've already knitted one, so I'm sure you do. If not, let me know!

What a great teacher you are! And what an amazing video! And how kind of you to wright down all the complete and detailed explanations! Congratulations and thank you very much for sharing your experience and hard work with us! One question, if you please: to make a deeper V neck, how to divide the increases through the V neck rows? Thank you very much!
Thank you for your comment :) To answer your question, I don't know how deep you want, but if I were you, I would like to do 2 things; 1. Take some stitches from sleeves, and add them to back Now I have 11 sts each for sleeves, and 26 sts for back. I would transfer 5 each to back, which means 6 sts to start for each side of sleeves, and 36 sts for back. 36 / 2 X 4 = 72 rows to finish my V neck instead of 52 rows. If this is not enough, I would start it with big neck opening EX) This sweater is based on my neck 17", but make 22" So when you make a plan, can you let me know? I would like to see your plan.
Thank you very much, @@BeginnersLUCKraft! I will certainly show you my plan! First I must study it to be sure I understand it correctly. You are so generous and so kind! I am immensely grateful!
@@veramariaritter8198 Well if you haven't decided anything yet, make a swatch (4" X 4"), and give me your gauge and your neck measurement. I will try to find out your some potential cast on numbers, then you can decide it! Let me know!
Hi My swatch using 5 mm needles came out to 5 inches and my neck measured approximately 16 inches Could you please calculate my number of stitches to use
Thank you for the information. At first I actually want to knit one for myself following your Seamless very basic raglan sweater, when my son saw me watching your tutorial and ask me to knit a sweater for him. Tutorials for men’s sweater are really difficult to find. I hope to see your tutorial on the deeper v-neck real soon, meanwhile I will order the yarn and wait for your tutorial to start my project.
Thank you for interested in this project :) I'm done with my math, so I will start knitting now! My project is usually good for both men and women except balloon sleeves. Anyway good luck with your project! Hopefully I will upload the video soon :)
Thank you for your comment :) I am knitting a deeper and wider V neck Raglan Sweater right now! In a next video, I try to explain a bit more about adjusting and modifying the V neck sizes! Good luck with your project! Enjoy knitting!
Great video! Thanks for sharing your expertise. If I am using a stitch pattern that is 4 stitches/4 rows (k,p,p,p-k,p,p,p-p,p,k,p-p,p,k,p) how do I calculate my magic base #. You said it has to be a multiple of 6. Thank you.
You should use the number multiple of 12, watch this one → ua-cam.com/video/OFcjqId55gw/v-deo.htmlsi=V5ya2VjnBYG_yvbH Let me know if you need more question.
I just found your video. I can't tell you how excited I am about it. I love the Raglan sleeve and I've never been able to find easy patterns for it until now. Your video is so easy to follow. Could you also please put a link for the needles you are using. Also, I did not notice how many skeins ("cakes") were needed. Thanks in advance.
Thank you for your comment! I'm glad you like my channel. OK I now try to guide you better here. First, to answer your question, with this V-neck Raglan, I used 2 cakes to complete it. And my needles are from Chiagoo, www.chiaogoo.com/ I bought them from Amazon and their website as well. Second, you might want to watch....

It turned out really nice~!! I need something that's not too complicated to work on right now,,thanks for sharing it with us...... I keep knitting sweaters then giving them away lol,,and I honestly need a few new sweaters for myself~!!I made your gray cabled one,for myself,then gave it to my daughter😂
Hey Vivienne! Thank you for your comment :) You're so nice to give them away. I usually keep them for myself lol This was soooo easy, you should knit it! Just distract yourself from crazy world! That's what I've been doing! Enjoy knitting!
Hi again you are an amazing woman figuring out how to adjust patterns is hard for me My swatch turned out 4x4 using 5 ply yarn and 5.5 mm(metric)to be 15 stitches wide and 20 stitches high I will be using the tapered sleeves If you could please figure out how many stitches to cast on and any other adjustments I would have to make I would appreciate it so much Thanks in advance ❤
OK, I made your plan based on your gauge. Your gauge: 4" x 4" = 15 sts x 20 rows Your desired neck measurement is 17" Your cast on # is 50 After you make your casts, you will have to add some markers 1 (front) / 12 (sleeve) / 24 (back) / 12 (sleeve) / 1 (front) Then you will increase at the raglan markers every right side of rows, follow my video For the front v neck increase is depend on your preference. Be careful! This would be without the neck rib, so when you add neck rib, the opening would be smaller. if you want; 4.8" deepness: increase every right side of row - you will increase 12 sts on both side = total of 24 rows 9.6" deepness: increase every 4th row - you will increase 12 sts on both side = total of 48 rows 14.4" deepness: increase every 6th row - you will increase 12 sts on both side = total of 72 rows For the sleeve, I can't tell you yet, because I need 3 numbers just BEFORE you start knitting sleeves 1. Current stitch count 2. Goal stitch count 3. the length you want to knit form the current location to the wrist before the RIB I hope you understand this, if not, let me know. Good luck and Enjoy knitting!
Happy New Year Are you using the yarn just as it comes of the ball or are you separating it into each color If you aren’t separating it wouldn’t come out to be the same number of rows for each color Do you know what I mean Thanks😊
Hi, I really like your tutorials , they are so user friendly. I want to knit a men’s sweater . Do you think I can use this pattern ? ( The the balloon sleeve will be altered to the ones with reducing width)
Thank you for your comment :) Actually I was thinking same thing! I will knit another V-neck sweater like this with regular sleeve, and maybe a deeper V neck. If you want to know how to knit the regular shape of sleeves, watch this --> ua-cam.com/video/0Olhti3zI4o/v-deo.html If you have any other question, let me know! Good luck and Enjoy Knitting!
Thank you for your comment :) I believe that finding some nice yarn is the key for this project. I'm very happy with my yarn, so warm and look so nice! Good luck and Enjoy knitting!
Thank you for this great tutorial. I understand how to make a V neck now! There was something I couldn't figure out however: Why is there no raglan increase on the left side of marker D?
Thank you for your comment and question! The Marker D is a Begin marker, Marker D = Begin Marker. So at the start, you need to do K1, M1R, this is the right side of marker D (=Begin Maker). That's why you need to finish with M1L and K1. I should've wrote it better way.... The markers are as follows Begin Marker = Marker D Marker A Marker B Maker C You need to increase 8 stitches, but when you start the increasing row, you just increase right after the begin marker which is M1R, then when you come back to the marker D, you only need to increase for a left side of Marker D=begin marker. I hope you understand, sorry for confusion. Good luck and Enjoy knitting!
Thank you for your comment :) This is size Small for myself, I'm 5' 2, and 100 lb, usually wear size small. This sweater fits me perfect. Enjoy knitting!
I agree 100% •❤︎• @@BeginnersLUCKraft is the best teacher •❤︎• You truly are an amazing person I’ve said it many times but I’ll say it many times more •❤︎• thank you for teaching us •❤︎• you are the best !!
Hi, I know this tutorial is very clear and understandable, best about it is I am same size of whatever you have knitted so far, I am love trying as you know I already did few. Thank you again. Now, this time I am trying to knit this V-neck for man, since I am very bad in math part I got stuck with how many stitches I must cat on. I am have knitted up to v_neck increasing but I feel like it’s going to be small.
Hi! I can help you for making a plan. I need your basic # such as your gauge, I need both stitch count and row count within 4" X 4" or 10 cm X 10 cm, Also I need your DESIRE neck opening measurement in round. Be careful here, I don't need your actual neck size, I want to have your DESIRE neck opening. Example, my actual neck measurement is 12", and I want to have a big neck opening, so my desire measurement is 22", something like that. And lastly I want you to tell me how deep you want for V-neck from top to bottom. Let me know!
@@BeginnersLUCKraft thank you so much, this is my problem now, normally I follow all your steps! But for man’s v-neck I am not getting how to calculate my desire. 🤔 Open round neck 8 inches, do I make sense? I am not sure
@@YangzomDorji OK, When I googled men's sweater, it's usually a small neck opening either round or V-neck which means that 8 to 10" deep from top depends on his sizes and preference. Do you know which size he wears?
Did i miss it where you said how many balls of yarn you used in total? Also, youre the best teacher ever. Thank you soooo much, my mother taught me knit and purl, and because of your videos im better than her at knitting AND my dog is warm in the winter. Love it
Thank you for your comment :) You didn't miss it, I didn't write it, Sorry. I used about 2 balls, little less. But depends on your size as well! If you have any other question, let me know! Good luck and Enjoy knitting!
Hey, this is a great tutorial, thank you! One question regarding your formula: How come the Vneck must be multiple of 6? And why do you multiply the rows for the increase by 4?
Thank you for your comment :) Here is the video you need to watch! I explained everything you want to know! It's much easier for you to watch rather than just reading my explanation. Good luck and Enjoy knitting! ua-cam.com/video/OFcjqId55gw/v-deo.html
Thank you so much for replying so fast and forwarding me the link, this was very helpful! I am very grateful, I will try this out soon ;) All the best to you. 😊
OK, If you want to knit this sweater, here are your numbers. Read it very carefully, and if you don't understand it, let me know before! You need to make sure you completely understand everything! According to your swatch and measurements. Your cast on number for this V neck sweater is 44 to start with. Add markers on set up row: P2 [MA], P9, [MB], P22, [MC], P9, [MD], P2 You will increase 9 stitches each side of V neck = total of 18 stitches increase for both side to complete your V neck. which will be 36 rows total. 36 rows for your V neck means about 7.2" height from back of your neck to the end of V neck. If this is big enough, just go for it. If you want to adjust this opening (smaller or bigger), I have to change your cast on number, EX) If you want a bigger V neck shape, you have to start with big number, however, if you want much bigger V neck, that's another story. So 1" or 2" adjustment should be OK. If you understand this, you can start this! Good luck and Enjoy knitting!

Thank you for your comment :) What do you mean by open V neck? You mean V neck cardigan?! If V neck cardigan, easy! Just do not connect V neck, and keep knitting until your desire length after you finish increasing for V neck part. Everything else are pretty much same except you will knit in flat. If this is not what you want to know, let me know more details, I'll try to help you! Enjoy knitting!
@@BeginnersLUCKraft yes perfect thank you . Can i knit button band around fronts and yoke at the same time as knitting instead of having to pick up stitches once complete?
I sent you a message earlier about knitting a sweater raglan sleeve Vneck I cast on 120 stitches using 5ply yarn and 5.5 metric circular needles I started this sweater awhile ago and came to a standstill increased to 144 stitches working from the bottom up I would like the sweater to be 23 inches shoulder to bottom (length) the sleeves to be 27 inches (neck to wrist not including the neck ribbing) This is a raglan sleeve and the Vneck 7 inches opening Lost the pattern and would love to finish it Do you think you could help me out You are amazing at videos and explanations and in the comments you sound like you might be able to help me Would so appreciate your help Thank you TAKE CARE Hope to hear from you soon
Hello again! Could you please tell me your gauge? Stitch and Row count in 4" X 4" If you didn't knit your swatch, this is how you do it. The project you knitted so far, make it flat (don't stretch it), put the ruler on it, and count. If I don't have your knitting tension, I can't help you. Do you know what I'm saying? It doesn't matter which needle and/or yarn you're using. The most important thing to make a plan is your knitting tension. I got your desire plan here, but I don't have your base #s, so I can't answer you. (EX) When mother ask you to buy 12 apples, and gave you $5.00. But you don't know whether you can buy 12 apples with $5.00 or not. Why is that? Because you don't know the cost of 1 apple. So your case, the base # is missing here! Let me know!!
@@elsiemcdermid Hello again! I'm so sorry that I haven't replied it to you right away. I've been thinking about it long time. I almost got it, but unfortunately I can't do this into Raglan sweater, because of you start knitting from bottom to top. If this is a just regular sweater, it is possible, but that would be completely different than what you think. I'll try to knit something from the bottom in the future.
Thank you for your comment :) It was in the description box, here is the one → ua-cam.com/video/QJUqR8k7qTo/v-deo.html And the pattern would be in the description box! Good luck and Enjoy knitting!!
Thank you for your comment. Are you asking me the needle tip length? If so, 4". If you're asking me the cable part, I believe 37" or 50". Good luck and Enjoy knitting!
Bonjour Yuko. J'espère que vous allez bien. Merci pour ce tuto clair et net. On a l'impression d'être devant un excellent prof de maths. Merci et bonne journée. Ps: je n'ai pas aimé la couleur et la laine mais cela reste une question de goût. Bravo!
Sorry for confusion. The magic number is your basic number. i.e) With this tutorial, my cast on number is 78 because this number must be multiple of 6. And there is an important reason for this. After I cast on, I started knitting with some increases, because my body gets bigger than my neck. And I increase stitches at the boundary of body and sleeves which means, I have to divide, between the body and sleeves with some markers. Here is the multiple of 6 kicks in. 78 / 6 = 13 This 13 is my magic number which is the BASIC number for dividing my sweater. For the sleeves, I need the magic number X 1 = 13 stitches each sleeve, total of 26 and Front and Back, I need the magic number X 2 = 26 stitches each, total of 52 Front: 26 stitches Right Sleeve: 13 stitches Back" 26 stitches Left sleeve: 13 stitches Total of 78 stitches Everybody wants to knit different sizes, so only this way I can explain how I divide the body after the neck. Because this is size adjustable. And I couldn't find the perfect word for this basic number, so I call this "Magic number" If you don't understand, let me know :) Enjoy knitting!
@@BeginnersLUCKraft Oh, I see.. But how did you now it have to be multiple of 6? And the v neck increase, can you explain how did you get those numbers? Sorry if i asking too much. This whole knitting math is new to me (bcs i never knit sweater)
@@rachaelwidi1976 Don't worry. Have you ever knit a swatch, and take a gauge before? When you knit a sweater, we usually knit a swatch (sample), because you don't know your knitting tension. Even with same yarn and same needle you use as mine, the complete sweater will be different size, because we're not a machine. Once you knit a swatch, you have to count your stitches within 4" Mine is like this SWATCH: 4” X 4” = 18 STS X 25 ROWS NECK ROUND OPENING: 17” GAUGE 4” VS 17” = 18 STS VS [X STS] 4X = 17 X 18 X = 17 X 18 / 4 X = 76.5 I have 18 stitches within 4" I want to start with 17" for the neck opening. Then math kicks in. The mathematically, multiply of 2 inside numbers must be equal multiply of 2 outside numbers. So, my math was above, and it was 76.5 But you can't do 76.5 stitches, and I want to have numbers multiple of 6 Then closest number is 78 I have a swatch tutorial video, so please watch this video, and if you don't understand, let me know. ua-cam.com/video/baVuwr-U86U/v-deo.html And don't give up! Once you understand this gauge, you will be able to knit your sweater close to perfect. A lot of people don't like math. But you need it! And if you want me to find out your cast on number and magic number, I will help, but you still need to knit your swatch, and measure your neck opening. Good luck!
Hi (◕‿◕✿) Thank you for another excellent tutorial •❤︎• I’m trying to knit My yarn and needles are giving me 16 stitches per 4 inches • how many must i cast on ?

@@Monique-TheYarnCurator OK, I figured it out. Your desire neck is 19" 4" VS 19" = 16 STS VS [X STS] X = 76, but this must be multiple of 6, so I picked 78 (this is pre-cast on#) Your magic # is 13, so your CAST ON # is 78 - (13X2) + 2 = 54 YOUR CAST ON # FOR V-NECK IS 54 Now you have to divide 5 sections 1 st each for both front & back = TTL of 2 sts 13 sts each for both left & right sleeves = TTL of 26 sts 26 sts for back piece. This is how you place the markers 1 (MA), 13 (MB), 26 (MC), 13, (MD), 1 If so, your V-neck deepness is as followings; You have to increase (26-2)/2 = 12 Increase 1 sts every 4 rows - 48 rows to complete V neck Which means 2" VS 12 ROWS = [X"] VS 48 ROWS X" = 8" But maybe this is not deep enough, because you want to add some rows for neck RIB If you increase 1 st every 6 rows - 72 row to complete V neck 2" VS 12 ROWS = [X"] VS 72 ROWS X" = 12" 8" or 12" from top, you should pick your preference. Either one, your cast on # is 54. The difference is how often you increase 1 st. If you don't like both #, you might want to change your desire length of neck. Not 19", Pick 20 or 21", and increase 1 st every 4 rows, something like that. Here is the latest video, this is the better one to follow :) Good luck and Enjoy knitting!!

I have just discovered this video. I've watched the M1R and M1L parts so many times, and I think I've finally gotten the hang of it! Your instructions are so clear and the filming is perfect, as I can clearly see all the stitches and what you are picking up for the increases. I cannot thank you enough for taking the time to make this very well done tutorial, allowing me to increase my knowledge and become a better knitter. ❤️
Thank you for your comment :) People usually understand better if you know the reason behind. I'm glad I helped you a bit! And I have many more raglan sweater tutorials, if you want, go to my playlists → ua-cam.com/users/BeginnersLUCKraftplaylists

Ooooh so that’s how the v neck top down works! Thank you for enabling cc!
Thank you for your comment :) I believe this is the easiest top down V neck sweater. Good luck and Enjoy knitting!
Wow, wow wow!! I’m so happy I found you on UA-cam. Your teaching is priceless!!! 💕💕
I’m an intermediate knitter and your instructions are so clear I’m not scared to try this pattern. Thank you so much!! I’ve watched the video twice and made my notes to start this gorgeous sweater soon. 😊
Thank you for your comment :) I've recently uploaded another V-neck Raglan Sweater tutorial. I like the new one better, I talked more about size adjusting, so please check it out, there are 3 parts, and the first one is the making a plan video. ua-cam.com/video/OFcjqId55gw/v-deo.html
If you have any question, let me know! I'm willing to help people :) Good luck & Enjoy knitting!
So I finally watched the entire video and how perfect! I prefer the fit of v-neck to crew neck and although there are a few patterns out there, they have always seemed so intimidating. I could never understand how the v-neck was constructed, how to adjust for new beginning of round, and was confused by top-down sweaters that did not start with ribbing.
Your tutorials are truly the best out there because they go beyond standard instructions - you explain the reason behind a certain method which just opens up a world of possibilities. I remember your cable hat video and how from a magic number, I can then modify patterns and this was another lesson in mathematics and design.
I noticed you did not do short rows - is that something that is not needed for v-neck? Thanks again for the invaluable tutorial. This ONE is a keeper. I feel that now I can recreate those varsity-style sweaters The Gap used to sell before their quality deteriorated.
Thanks a million. You are a gem!
Thank you for your comment :) At the first of all, I'm very appreciated what you wrote it here, very encouraging!
I just want to do my best because I've learnt how to knit all by myself, and it was so hard for me to understand it without any reasoning. I really needed to know the mechanism, once I understood how it works, I never forget, and that way I can create my own pattern too. And I want people to enjoy knitting without any intimidation.
Anyway, thank you, thank you, and thank you for your warm kind comment as usual.
Lastly I would like to answer your question why I didn't add the short row for raising the back of neck.
1. This is my first tutorial for V-neck Sweater tutorial. It took so long for me to make this tutorial, because I was struggled explaining how to adjust sizes. Because a lot of math kicks in. Math is my strongest subject, so it's easy for me, but not too many people like it. Anyway, so I would like to keep this video simple as much as possible, and see.
2. The reason why it fits better if you have a few rows at the back of your neck more than front.
Because there is a bit muscle under back of your neck. so anatomically you need a bit more fabric for the back of your neck, otherwise that muscle will be pulling the fabric a bit, and make you a little uncomfortable. However, as you can see, with V-neck shape, there are lots of space in front of your neck, so even the muscle pulls the fabric, it doesn't really matter. If this V-shape was so small, that's another story. Does it make sense? And do you know what? This sweater without raising fits me really well!
Anyway, I wrote too long...
If you have any other question, let me know anytime :) Enjoy knitting!
@@BeginnersLUCKraft Thanks so much - that makes a lot of sense about the short rows. I have a lot of yarn, all I need is to select a color and get started.
Thank You so much for your time. Awesome video and such a clear explanation. As a longtime knitter - from the bottom up - the old way - I want to try the top down method with the right amount of stitches to obtain the right ease.

Beautiful. The sleeves, the color, the yarn.This is something I would wear a few times a week and feel good about it.
Thank you for your comment :) Yes I love everything about this sweater! And it was super easy! I'm glad I did it! You should knit one for yourself too! Enjoy knitting!
@@BeginnersLUCKraft Hi again. I'm starting this sweater tonight. My swatch was 18.5 sts in 4x4". Neck measurement is 17.5, but I'll round up to 18" for a slightly looser fit. Cast on: 56 sts. Although I'll be making a larger size, I presume all will fall into place later. Can't wait to see how this turns out!
@@Enig_Mata Hi again, Yes your possible cast on numbers are either 52 or 56, I just did the math, but as you told me, just slight difference, so you're right, better take a larger size! I can't wait to see it either! Let me know! Good luck and Enjoy Knitting!
@@BeginnersLUCKraft Thanks for clarifying. One more question for tonight 😃 I'm not clear on the increases. Is M1L2 the same as Knit Left loop? I found a video and just want to make sure i'm doing the right one. ua-cam.com/video/dNw5830AlgE/v-deo.html
M1R2 - Knit Right loop - ua-cam.com/video/O7A6DDEyTTk/v-deo.html
Thanks for your patience.
@@Enig_Mata Both video are correct. You use the previous stitch to increase. When you do M1R, pick up the right loop in previous stitch, so it's just underneath of stitch on the needle, that's why I said M1R1 (1 down from top)
M1L2, you can't pick up left loop in previous stitch with right needle, so when you do M1L2, you knit the target stitch first, then pick up the left loop, HOWEVER, don't pick up 1 down this time, because the stitch 1 down from the needle is the one you just knit, it's not the previous row. So this time you need to pick up 2 down from the needle stitch.
Well anyway, the video you put the link, she is doing it correctly!
Bye for now :)
I am done with the candy lane and i love it so so much! And now i am in my sleeves part on the v-neck! i would love to see another colorwork in another design someday in your tutorial.thank you so much for being a great youtube teacher!
Are you a knitting machine? lol Fast knitter! WOW! Good for you :) Good luck with your V neck, and Enjoy knitting :) I actually love this sweater!
Is it an amazing sweater? I have seen so many tutorials and even free pattern, but this is so comprehensive. I added a bit of color to the armband of mine. I can't wait to make another one with cables.
Hey! M really very happy with your tutorial. This is the first one i watch. M a beginner doing it by my ownself. So it's really helpful. I just want to know the basis of the increasing rows formula. Thank you
🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
Thank you for watching and your comment also! I have 1 other V-neck raglan sweater tutorial, Part 1 - I talked about more V-neck plan, Part - 2 from cast on to body, Part -3 sleeves. Here is the Part 1 → ua-cam.com/video/OFcjqId55gw/v-deo.html
These are more beginners friendly. If you have any help, let me know!
Good luck & Enjoy Knitting!
I took a couple weeks off after finishing the body and had to kick it in gear this week to finish the sleeves. I just cast off after completing the neck!!! I can not believe I knitted a v-neck sweater without a pattern - thanks to you!!!
I knitted this sweater with aran weight yarn as it was inexpensive. Since I have the practice done, I can't wait to redo in nicer yarn. This was an amazing lesson.
Congrats!!! I'm very happy for you! Now you know you can knit a basic sweater without pattern! And it fits you better! Enjoy knitting :)
@@BeginnersLUCKraft Thank you - your videos are so amazing. I am so excited to knit another one - this time I think I'll add cables. If I wanted to make a deeper v-neck, how could I do that?
@@Enig_Mata 2 ways to do it.
1. Change the Cast on # - make it bigger which means automatically the back of neck stitches will be more = deeper, but if you don't want to mess with cast on number. Here is the option #2
2. You repeat IR1 to IR4 for V-neck shape and Raglan line increase.
Creating V shape is only on IR1, so I want you to add 2 more rows.
IR1(RS): K1, M1L, K UNTIL LAST 1 ST BEFORE [MA], M1R, K1, [SMA] K1, M1L, K UNTIL LAST 1 ST BEFORE [MB], M1R, K1, [SMB], K1, M1L, K UNTIL LAST 1 ST BEFORE [MC], M1R, K1, [SMC], K1, M1L, K UNTIL LAST 1 ST BEFORE [MD] M1R, K1, [SMD], K1, M1L, K UNTIL LAST 1 ST, M1R, K1
IR2(WS): ALL PURL
IR3(RS): K UNTIL LAST 1 ST BEFORE [MA], M1R, K1, [SMA] K1, M1L, K UNTIL LAST 1 ST BEFORE [MB], M1R, K1, [SMB], K1, M1L, K UNTIL LAST 1 ST BEFORE [MC], M1R, K1, [SMC], K1, M1L, K UNTIL LAST 1 ST BEFORE [MD] M1R, K1, [SMD], K UNTIL END
IR4(WS): ALL PURL
*** Here are additional rows ***
IR5(RS): K UNTIL LAST 1 ST BEFORE [MA], M1R, K1, [SMA] K1, M1L, K UNTIL LAST 1 ST BEFORE [MB], M1R, K1, [SMB], K1, M1L, K UNTIL LAST 1 ST BEFORE [MC], M1R, K1, [SMC], K1, M1L, K UNTIL LAST 1 ST BEFORE [MD] M1R, K1, [SMD], K UNTIL END
IR6(WS): ALL PURL
REP IR1 TO IR6 UNTIL V NECK SHAPE IS DONE
Example) you have 30 sts total for back of your neck.
30 / 2 = 15
IF only rep of IR1 TO IR4 --- Original pattern
you will end it up knitting 15 X 4 = 60 rows to finish V neck shape
However new pattern is rep of 6 rows --- only R1 is the V neck shape increasing, so
15 X 6 = 90 rows to complete the V shape.
This way, 30 more rows deeper than original pattern.
And you don't have to change the cast on #.
HOWEVER!
You really have to watch raglan line at the same time!
You might want to stop increasing for raglan line before V neck shape, because now V neck shape is deeper.
I hope you understand what I mean.
Well you've already knitted one, so I'm sure you do.
If not, let me know!
@@BeginnersLUCKraft Thank you so much for the super-detailed instructions. I've have to go over this a few times to make sure I get this right. 🙏🙏🙏
Thank you for the pattern. It's beautiful! I will give it a try soon.

What a great teacher you are! And what an amazing video! And how kind of you to wright down all the complete and detailed explanations! Congratulations and thank you very much for sharing your experience and hard work with us! One question, if you please: to make a deeper V neck, how to divide the increases through the V neck rows? Thank you very much!
Thank you for your comment :) To answer your question, I don't know how deep you want, but if I were you, I would like to do 2 things;
1. Take some stitches from sleeves, and add them to back
Now I have 11 sts each for sleeves, and 26 sts for back.
I would transfer 5 each to back, which means 6 sts to start for each side of sleeves, and 36 sts for back.
36 / 2 X 4 = 72 rows to finish my V neck instead of 52 rows.
If this is not enough, I would start it with big neck opening
EX) This sweater is based on my neck 17", but make 22"
So when you make a plan, can you let me know? I would like to see your plan.
Thank you very much, @@BeginnersLUCKraft! I will certainly show you my plan! First I must study it to be sure I understand it correctly. You are so generous and so kind! I am immensely grateful!
@@veramariaritter8198 Well if you haven't decided anything yet, make a swatch (4" X 4"), and give me your gauge and your neck measurement. I will try to find out your some potential cast on numbers, then you can decide it! Let me know!

I just found your video. I can't tell you how excited I am about it. I love the Raglan sleeve and I've never been able to find easy patterns for it until now. Your video is so easy to follow. Could you also please put a link for the needles you are using. Also, I did not notice how many skeins ("cakes") were needed.
Thanks in advance.
Thank you for your comment! I'm glad you like my channel. OK I now try to guide you better here.
First, to answer your question, with this V-neck Raglan, I used 2 cakes to complete it.

I keep knitting sweaters then giving them away lol,,and I honestly need a few new sweaters for myself~!!I made your gray cabled one,for myself,then gave it to my daughter😂
Hey Vivienne! Thank you for your comment :) You're so nice to give them away. I usually keep them for myself lol This was soooo easy, you should knit it! Just distract yourself from crazy world! That's what I've been doing! Enjoy knitting!
Hi again you are an amazing woman figuring out how to adjust patterns is hard for me My swatch turned out 4x4 using 5 ply yarn and 5.5 mm(metric)to be 15 stitches wide and 20 stitches high I will be using the tapered sleeves If you could please figure out how many stitches to cast on and any other adjustments I would have to make I would appreciate it so much Thanks in advance ❤
OK, I made your plan based on your gauge.
Your gauge: 4" x 4" = 15 sts x 20 rows
Your desired neck measurement is 17"
Your cast on # is 50
After you make your casts, you will have to add some markers
1 (front) / 12 (sleeve) / 24 (back) / 12 (sleeve) / 1 (front)
Then you will increase at the raglan markers every right side of rows, follow my video
For the front v neck increase is depend on your preference.
Be careful! This would be without the neck rib, so when you add neck rib, the opening would be smaller.
if you want;
4.8" deepness: increase every right side of row - you will increase 12 sts on both side = total of 24 rows
9.6" deepness: increase every 4th row - you will increase 12 sts on both side = total of 48 rows
14.4" deepness: increase every 6th row - you will increase 12 sts on both side = total of 72 rows
For the sleeve, I can't tell you yet, because I need 3 numbers just BEFORE you start knitting sleeves
1. Current stitch count
2. Goal stitch count
3. the length you want to knit form the current location to the wrist before the RIB
I hope you understand this, if not, let me know.
Good luck and Enjoy knitting!
@@BeginnersLUCKraft I will keep in touch Thanks a bunch
Happy New Year Are you using the yarn just as it comes of the ball or are you separating it into each color If you aren’t separating it wouldn’t come out to be the same number of rows for each color Do you know what I mean Thanks😊

Nice...😍 Thank you for sharing of your talents.
Thank you for your such a nice comment :) Enjoy knitting!
Thank you for this great tutorial. I understand how to make a V neck now!
There was something I couldn't figure out however: Why is there no raglan increase on the left side of marker D?
Thank you for your comment and question! The Marker D is a Begin marker, Marker D = Begin Marker. So at the start, you need to do K1, M1R, this is the right side of marker D (=Begin Maker). That's why you need to finish with M1L and K1. I should've wrote it better way....
The markers are as follows
Begin Marker = Marker D
Marker A
Marker B
Maker C
You need to increase 8 stitches, but when you start the increasing row, you just increase right after the begin marker which is M1R, then when you come back to the marker D, you only need to increase for a left side of Marker D=begin marker.
I hope you understand, sorry for confusion.
Good luck and Enjoy knitting!
@@BeginnersLUCKraft I understand better now, thank you!!

Hi, I know this tutorial is very clear and understandable, best about it is I am same size of whatever you have knitted so far, I am love trying as you know I already did few. Thank you again. Now, this time I am trying to knit this V-neck for man, since I am very bad in math part I got stuck with how many stitches I must cat on. I am have knitted up to v_neck increasing but I feel like it’s going to be small.
Hi! I can help you for making a plan. I need your basic # such as your gauge, I need both stitch count and row count within 4" X 4" or 10 cm X 10 cm, Also I need your DESIRE neck opening measurement in round. Be careful here, I don't need your actual neck size, I want to have your DESIRE neck opening.
Example, my actual neck measurement is 12", and I want to have a big neck opening, so my desire measurement is 22", something like that. And lastly I want you to tell me how deep you want for V-neck from top to bottom. Let me know!
@@BeginnersLUCKraft thank you so much, this is my problem now, normally I follow all your steps! But for man’s v-neck I am not getting how to calculate my desire. 🤔
Open round neck 8 inches, do I make sense? I am not sure
@@YangzomDorji OK, When I googled men's sweater, it's usually a small neck opening either round or V-neck which means that 8 to 10" deep from top depends on his sizes and preference. Do you know which size he wears?
@@BeginnersLUCKraft he wears medium size.
Did you knit your swatch? If so, give me your gauge :)

Thank you so much
WOW I'll definitely make this
Thank you for your comment :) Do you know what?! This was one of top garments that I like. Go for it! Enjoy knitting!
OK, If you want to knit this sweater, here are your numbers. Read it very carefully, and if you don't understand it, let me know before! You need to make sure you completely understand everything!
According to your swatch and measurements.
Your cast on number for this V neck sweater is 44 to start with.
Add markers on set up row: P2 [MA], P9, [MB], P22, [MC], P9, [MD], P2
You will increase 9 stitches each side of V neck = total of 18 stitches increase for both side to complete your V neck. which will be 36 rows total.
36 rows for your V neck means about 7.2" height from back of your neck to the end of V neck.
If this is big enough, just go for it. If you want to adjust this opening (smaller or bigger), I have to change your cast on number, EX) If you want a bigger V neck shape, you have to start with big number, however, if you want much bigger V neck, that's another story. So 1" or 2" adjustment should be OK.
If you understand this, you can start this! Good luck and Enjoy knitting!
@@BeginnersLUCKraft I will knit this sweater, alas the measurements I gave you were for a man :D

Just do not connect V neck, and keep knitting until your desire length after you finish increasing for V neck part. Everything else are pretty much same except you will knit in flat. If this is not what you want to know, let me know more details, I'll try to help you! Enjoy knitting!
@@BeginnersLUCKraft yes perfect thank you . Can i knit button band around fronts and yoke at the same time as knitting instead of having to pick up stitches once complete?
@@mama_oddi_hobbyest Sure you can! Enjoy!
@@BeginnersLUCKraft thanks so much 😊

Hello again! Could you please tell me your gauge? Stitch and Row count in 4" X 4"
If you didn't knit your swatch, this is how you do it.
The project you knitted so far, make it flat (don't stretch it), put the ruler on it, and count.
If I don't have your knitting tension, I can't help you. Do you know what I'm saying?
It doesn't matter which needle and/or yarn you're using. The most important thing to make a plan is your knitting tension.
I got your desire plan here, but I don't have your base #s, so I can't answer you.
(EX) When mother ask you to buy 12 apples, and gave you $5.00. But you don't know whether you can buy 12 apples with $5.00 or not. Why is that?
Because you don't know the cost of 1 apple.
So your case, the base # is missing here!
Let me know!!
4by4 in gauge 14stitches width by 18 height Hopefully this helps
@@elsiemcdermid Hello again! I'm so sorry that I haven't replied it to you right away. I've been thinking about it long time. I almost got it, but unfortunately I can't do this into Raglan sweater, because of you start knitting from bottom to top. If this is a just regular sweater, it is possible, but that would be completely different than what you think. I'll try to knit something from the bottom in the future.
Thanks for your help I am going to take out what I did and start from top down Appreciate you giving it a try Take Care

How long are the needles you use?
Thank you for your comment. Are you asking me the needle tip length? If so, 4".

Bonjour Yuko.
J'espère que vous allez bien.
Merci pour ce tuto clair et net.
On a l'impression d'être devant un excellent prof de maths.
Merci et bonne journée.
Ps: je n'ai pas aimé la couleur et la laine mais cela reste une question de goût.
Bravo!

Thank you for watching :) Here is the latest V-neck Raglan Sweater Tutorial! ua-cam.com/video/OFcjqId55gw/v-deo.html Enjoy knitting!
I dont understand what magic number is...
Sorry for confusion. The magic number is your basic number.
i.e) With this tutorial, my cast on number is 78 because this number must be multiple of 6. And there is an important reason for this.
After I cast on, I started knitting with some increases, because my body gets bigger than my neck.
And I increase stitches at the boundary of body and sleeves which means, I have to divide, between the body and sleeves with some markers.
Here is the multiple of 6 kicks in.
78 / 6 = 13
This 13 is my magic number which is the BASIC number for dividing my sweater.
For the sleeves, I need the magic number X 1 = 13 stitches each sleeve, total of 26
and Front and Back, I need the magic number X 2 = 26 stitches each, total of 52
Front: 26 stitches
Right Sleeve: 13 stitches
Back" 26 stitches
Left sleeve: 13 stitches
Total of 78 stitches
Everybody wants to knit different sizes, so only this way I can explain how I divide the body after the neck.
Because this is size adjustable.
And I couldn't find the perfect word for this basic number, so I call this "Magic number"
If you don't understand, let me know :)
Enjoy knitting!
@@BeginnersLUCKraft Oh, I see.. But how did you now it have to be multiple of 6?
And the v neck increase, can you explain how did you get those numbers? Sorry if i asking too much. This whole knitting math is new to me (bcs i never knit sweater)
@@rachaelwidi1976 Don't worry. Have you ever knit a swatch, and take a gauge before?
When you knit a sweater, we usually knit a swatch (sample), because you don't know your knitting tension.
Even with same yarn and same needle you use as mine, the complete sweater will be different size, because we're not a machine.
Once you knit a swatch, you have to count your stitches within 4"
Mine is like this
SWATCH: 4” X 4” = 18 STS X 25 ROWS
NECK ROUND OPENING: 17”
GAUGE
4” VS 17” = 18 STS VS [X STS]
4X = 17 X 18
X = 17 X 18 / 4
X = 76.5
I have 18 stitches within 4"
I want to start with 17" for the neck opening.
Then math kicks in.
The mathematically, multiply of 2 inside numbers must be equal multiply of 2 outside numbers.
So, my math was above, and it was 76.5
But you can't do 76.5 stitches, and I want to have numbers multiple of 6
Then closest number is 78
I have a swatch tutorial video, so please watch this video, and if you don't understand, let me know.
ua-cam.com/video/baVuwr-U86U/v-deo.html
And don't give up!
Once you understand this gauge, you will be able to knit your sweater close to perfect.
A lot of people don't like math. But you need it!
And if you want me to find out your cast on number and magic number, I will help, but you still need to knit your swatch, and measure your neck opening.
Good luck!
@@BeginnersLUCKraft Okay! Got it! I already knit my swatch and get my gauge. I'll do the math myself. Thankyou for the clear explanation! 😊
Hi (◕‿◕✿)
Thank you for another excellent tutorial
•❤︎• I’m trying to knit
My yarn and needles are giving me 16 stitches per 4 inches • how many must i cast on ?
1 quick question, how wide & deep do you want for V-neck? Can you tell me your desire neck measurement? This is important! Then I will find out for you!
Oh no I’m so sorry i see now i forgot to give those measurements 🤦🏻♀️
Neck around loosely measured, like where a sweater neck would normally be is 19 inch circumference. And the drop from under chin to bust is 5 inch.
Thank you so much @@BeginnersLUCKraft •❤︎•
❥•• I appreciate your help so much •❤︎•
@@Monique-TheYarnCurator Don't worry, can you tell me your knitting tension with rows, did you knit 4" tall? If not, just give me within 1", 2" or 3". Because I just want to make sure about the deepness of your V neck. Thanks!
@@BeginnersLUCKraft you are my angel 😇 thank you so much •❤︎• i have 12 rows on 2 inch
@@Monique-TheYarnCurator OK, I figured it out.
Your desire neck is 19"
4" VS 19" = 16 STS VS [X STS]
X = 76, but this must be multiple of 6, so I picked 78 (this is pre-cast on#)
Your magic # is 13, so your CAST ON # is
78 - (13X2) + 2 = 54
YOUR CAST ON # FOR V-NECK IS 54
Now you have to divide 5 sections
1 st each for both front & back = TTL of 2 sts
13 sts each for both left & right sleeves = TTL of 26 sts
26 sts for back piece.
This is how you place the markers
1 (MA), 13 (MB), 26 (MC), 13, (MD), 1
If so, your V-neck deepness is as followings;
You have to increase (26-2)/2 = 12
Increase 1 sts every 4 rows - 48 rows to complete V neck
Which means
2" VS 12 ROWS = [X"] VS 48 ROWS
X" = 8"
But maybe this is not deep enough, because you want to add some rows for neck RIB
If you increase 1 st every 6 rows - 72 row to complete V neck
2" VS 12 ROWS = [X"] VS 72 ROWS
X" = 12"
8" or 12" from top, you should pick your preference.
Either one, your cast on # is 54.
The difference is how often you increase 1 st.
If you don't like both #, you might want to change your desire length of neck.
Not 19", Pick 20 or 21", and increase 1 st every 4 rows, something like that.
Here is the latest video, this is the better one to follow :)
Good luck and Enjoy knitting!!
Anytime you need my help, let me know!
