Hi everyone! Today’s post is about what to do if you finish your sweater and find that the neckline is just a bit too stretchy. This fix will only go so far, so it won’t fix something that is way too big, for example, but if the neckline seam is just a bit too stretchy, and the sweater is heavy and pulls it out of shape, then this fix might just be for you.
You’ll need a crochet hook and your project yarn, or a similar yarn.
What we’re going to do is work some slip-stitch crochet along the inside of the neck seam. This works best for sweaters that had a bound off edge and picked up stitches for the neckline treatment.
It’s best to work in sections, not all the way around – that way you can unwork and adjust your ratio or size of your crochet hook if you work it too tightly or it’s still too loose.
Here’s a video showing you how to work it and what it looks like:
Hopefully this is helpful!
Until next time, Happy Knitting!!
I was wondering whether there is a pattern for the lovely jumper you demonstrated on.
