Knitting Tip #8

On beginning neck openings when knitting a Norwegian sweater.
Once you have cast off the required number of stitches for the front neck opening, and completed that round, you will begin working back and forth from right front neck edge across the back to left front neck edge, shaping the front neck opening by casting off or decreasing stitches only at the beginning of each row. But before you continue with the neck shaping cut the yarns at the end of the last round.
Slip the stitches that will form the left front shoulder of your sweater from the left needle to the right hand needle. You will now be set up to begin and end your rows at the front neck edge. Reattach the yarns and continue working the front and back together. By doing this, you will maintain consistency of your patterning and the colorwork won’t be off by one row on the left front shoulder.
