Knitwear designers do the best they can to make garments that work for everyone, but sometimes the neckline of a sweater just doesn’t work out when knit as the pattern states. It could be that your cast on or bind off is too loose or too tight, or maybe you just want to knit a different kind of ribbing or otherwise make it your own.
Tin Can Knits has some great tips for fixing necklines that don’t work for you. The blog post notes that when you’re knitting an ever-popular top-down sweater, all the weight of the sweater is being supported by the cast on, and sometimes you just need more structure than that. It’s a relatively easy fix, especially if you plan ahead for the possibility when you start knitting.
