Boxy V Neck Knitting Pattern
Boxy V Neck Knitting Pattern
Boxy V Neck Knitting Pattern is just what you need to craft stylish and comfortable pieces that are perfect for warm weather and balmy nights. This pattern was designed to be oversized and airy, and to be draped easily against the body. This knitting pattern includes step-by-step instructions and helpful tips to make your knitting experience smooth and enjoyable.
The Boxy V Neck is worked from the top down, beginning with the back neck and then working down to the armholes. Stitches are then picked up for the front, joined at the neck and worked down to the armholes before joining in the round. The piece has customisable elements for the neckline and armholes.

Size Guide
XS (S) M (L) XL (2XL) 3XL (4XL)
The Boxy V Neck is intended to be worn with a positive ease of approximately 4 - 6 inches / 10 - 15 cm at the bust. The sizes are based on a bust circumference of approximately:
28-30 (32-34) 36-38 (40-42) 44-46 (48-50) 52-54, (56-58) inches
71-76 (81-86) 91.5-96.5 (101.5-106.5) 111.5-117 (122-127) 132-137 (142-147) cm.
Measure yourself before beginning to ensure that you choose the right size. For example: Your bust circumference is 34 + 4 = 38 inches 85 cm + 10 cm = 95 cm i.e. work a size S. If you are in between two sizes, you can choose a little less ease or more.
