Picking up stitches on a neckline: curved edges

Some necklines will also have shaped edges, such as v-necks which are sloped and round-necks which are curved. Tina Barrett’s Clarity cardigan on page 12 uses this method.

Step 1

How to do it: with RS facing, insert the needle into the middle of the first whole stitch next to the shaping, wrap the yarn around the needle and pull through to the RS of the work.
