Throughout this book you will find great emphasis has been paid to various methods of marking the rows and stitches. This is an important part of any knitting but it is especially necessary for necklines.
The easy to follow instructions with close up photos and attention to detail at every stage start with the shaping by putting stitches on hold to the steam pressing of the finished neckline. Following the methods described will not only produce a perfect neckline but it will have sufficient stretch to pass over the head even for a tight polo neck.

whatever the size of your neckline, neckband or collar
