Introducing our classic v-neck knitting pattern, an essential addition to your knitting repertoire. This versatile design offers multiple options to customize the hem, sleeves, and neckline, allowing you to create a unique garment that perfectly fits your style. Constructed by knitting flat from the top down, you will seamlessly join the piece in the round after completing the v-neck shaping, ensuring a polished finish. This pattern provides instructions for both short and long sleeves, along with choices for lateral braid or i-cord edgings, giving you the flexibility to knit the framework as you like.

Yarn & Yardage Requirements:

For the Short Sleeve Version, we recommend using fingering weight (1) yarn. In this example, we used Teton Sock in the beautiful color Spruce by Explorer Knits & Fibers (463 yds/423 m/100 g per skein). You'll need approximately 586 (680, 754, 858, 970) yards, or 1090, 1276, 1366, and 1550 yards for larger sizes. To convert, this means you'll want about 536 (622, 689, 785, 887) meters, up to 1417 meters for the largest size.

For the Long Sleeve Version, we favored Herriot Fine in the cozy Campfire color by Juniper Moon Farm (461 yds/422 m/100 g per skein). Expect to use about 950 (1070, 1150, 1260, 1400) yards, scaling up to 1570, 1650, 1850, and 1920 yards as the sizes increase. In metric terms, this translates to approximately 869 (978, 1052, 1152, 1280) meters, reaching up to 1756 meters for the largest size.
