Knitting: Overview of Sweater Construction, part 3: Shaping of a Basic Neckline

Thank you !!!! I’ve been trying to figure out the logic of SR for a looong time, this is exactly the overview I was looking for !! 👏🏻👏🏻

I keep hearing that topdown seamless makes the sweater stretch because of the weight ..
I am a big size and I wonder if slipped stitches may counterbalance the stretching, does it make sense?

Thank you for your wonderful drawings, your pleasant attitude, generosity with information.. your costumers are the luckiest !!!
Thank you for your time 🤗🤗🤗

Is there a specific reason I when use the L-S vs. S-L short row shaping? In both cases I'm adding more material to raise the back. When do I use which method?
Is there a difference in between wearing comfort?

Thank you so much for explaining the whole thing and how different things work

Madam I watched your videos. I understand your logic regarding s& l rows clearly. I liked your last two sweaters where people will not understand where I am increasing. I liked it best. I like to have your guidance kindly to knit a sweater of5 years old boy. Your last but one is in multi colour. I think to knit that way. Would you please send me a link of that.

Hi, this video is that I was looking for the most to start my next project. I am designing a shirt/top that starts with crochet around (top down), but I was thinking a lot on how to do the back a little bit higher. With the crochet pattern, would be really hard to do the back short row, but at the end of the video you have just shown the green sweater and made my life easy. The whole thing can be done later on... Thank you!

You are such an amazing teacher! Love the diagrams and explanations. Great content 😍

This is so helpful! Exactly the information I have been looking for! I knitted my first top down raglan sweater, bu used the basic neckline with no shaping. For my next sweater I want to try a vneck. Most of the patterns I have seen just give the written instructions but no visual clue at all. You make it visually accessible. Thank you!

I want to knit a raglan cardigan in lace pattern, but I can't wrap my head around how short row shaping could work with this style. I guess it works only with simple flat patterns. Or should I sustain from using raglan design alltogether? I am a beginner and not comfortable with set-in sleeves...

Is it possible to do a v neck when working a bottom up sweater in the round? Especially without having to do raglan.

I learn a lot from your video.

I learn at lot from your videos. Can you tell the pattern of the green sweater you are wearing? I love it and you are an amazing knitter. Thsnks

I never started a sweater because I was afraid of spending so much time on a garment would not fit. Your explanations and artistic skills are greatly appreciated. I will dive into all your videos. Thank you.

Thanks 4 sharing ❤️

Thanks for the really helpful whiteboard summary of different approaches to short row shaping. I often use recipe-style patterns, but they may only discuss one approach or two. Seeing them side-by-side is great, particularly for how far around the short rows reach.

Love the sweater you are wearing! Do you sell the pattern??

You cleared up so much confusion for me. The pattern I was looking at had the short to long short rows and the prior video I looked at had the long short rows and I couldn't get my mind wrapped around it. Thanks for the long explanation and the fact that there are options.

This video is like 'Short Rows for Dummies'. It's the most thorough explanation of short rows I have found ANYWHERE! Your visuals make learning easy. I love that you don't waste time with a bunch of unnecessary blah blah at the beginning. I've made several sweaters, top down is my preference, without the short rows because I just didn't get it. I feel more confident that I can make a sweater that is not 'choking me' because the front neck is too high.
I'm spending my Saturday watching the whole series. Thank you so much!!!

Thank you for your great videos and instructions! I wonder if you would be able to demonstrate attaching and knitting a turtle or high neck collar to a down-up pieced sweater with straight dropped shoulders? Unless you have already done one? Thank you again.

Thanks, your explanations are so interesting and not boring! 🤩 New Supscriber here.

Amaaaaazing vídeo ❤ saved me from panicking on my first challenge of a sweater

Thank you so much! Maybe I can do this.

"knowing what's going on gives you the confidence to do it", that sentence actually made me tear up a bit. I had only ever knitted Flax by Tin Can Knits and was looking for a bit more complicated raglan, but I was getting overwhelmed looking at ravelry patterns because I didn't understand how they were being constructed. Thanks so much for this explanation, I'm going to go look again actually knowing why the pattern calls for only casting on the back but it's supposed to be a seamless raglan!

Thank you for your very informative videos. Have you considered choosing colours for yourself based on your skin colour? I think you will find that the colour analysis autumn colours willl look really wonderful on you. If you look at the colours of the background quilt in this video and how well they suit you in comparison the the green you are wearing you may see what i mean. Imagine that sweater in an olive, tan or ochres would look so good.

Thank you for this video, I now understand the differences between staggering the stitches the traditional way and short rows. Can you direct me to any good references where the math calculations are explained on how to calculate the stitches, step by step, to design a top down raglan using the traditional method?

It's a pity your 2nd column can't be seen on the screen

So much wonderful info!❤️

you are such a good teacher! i need some help please! I've just come to the end of my top down circular yoke motif and i am still 66 stitches less than the pattern suggests! The yoke fits around my shoulders a bit snugly but i'm loathe to unpick everything. can i just carry on and just increase before the german short rows. I so, how do i do that. The yoke called for me to M1L every 7 stitches on 2 of the rows

Thanks for giving me a clear understanding of how short rows work. I am ready for my first raglan. 🎉

you're the best, thank you so much! i'm sure your videos deserve much more attention, love the series about sweater construction, please keep going 🥺

Best description! lol

Thank you so much for sharing.

Excellent! Thank you SO much!

Would You be so kind to clarify what would be the difference between working (top down) short rows only on sleeves or only on the front or both on sleeves and the front? How will shape the neckline? I'm trying to figure out how to count short rows to have a more steep neckline in the front, and another one with a v-neck line.

Thank you.I tried few methods. Now only my doubts clear well.I am going to make one with confident. Veryyyyy helpful

Very usefull, thank you! I like to construct my own sweaters, for some reason it's easyer for me than pattern to get what I want even if I am quite a beginner. What I needed is just what you shared, the essense behind the details. Patterns, unfortunatelly, don't do that. I will use this on my next sweater.
