I love V-neck sweaters, though I think I’ve knit more crew necks, a lot of the sweaters I buy are V-necks. Maybe it’s just because the patterns I tend to be drawn toward don’t happen to be V-necks.
The good news is if you want to add a V-neck to a sweater you are knitting, it really isn’t all that difficult to alter the neckline. These instructions from Basix Knitting show you how to turn a top-down crew neck, scoop neck or square neck sweater into a V-neck, which admittedly is a little more complex than altering a bottom up sweater, but is nonetheless doable.
Yes, there is math. No, it’s not scary.
This is also a great way to learn how V-necks work if you should happen to want to design your own sweater, which is always great knowledge to have.
Have you ever converted a neckline to a different style? I’d love to hear about it!

Hi, the link to the original article seems to be missing from this post. Could you add it in please?
There seems to be no actual instructions here, nor a link to the instrutions. Could you please include it? I see one person has already requested this over a year ago, but the instructions are still missing.
The link is up there now, and also here: http://www.basixknitting.com/convert-top-crew-scoop-square-neck-v-neck/
