Lively Loop

Scoop neck (U-neck)

Summer tops, long-sleeve tees, vests. Depth 10–14 cm.

BO 16 sts8 decs
Scoop (U): more stitches bound off in the center, decreases first every other row, then every 4th row: a soft, wide curve

How to do it

  1. Width ≈ neck/2 + 3 cm.
  2. Center: bind off ≈ 40% of the neck opening stitches.
  3. Decreases: first every RS row (≈ 60% of the decreases), then every 4 rows, so the curve becomes gentle.
  4. Work the remaining height even to the shoulder.
