Different Types of Necklines To Choose From
Knowing
what types of knitted collars and necklines you prefer is key to knitting the sweater that you’ll want to wear again and again. To see which styles you love
before you choose to go ahead with the one you love, take a peek at these
knitted necklines, collars, ladies crew neck collar sweatshirt and
many more!
The
following are the different types of neckline you can choose from:
Crew Neck
A
very basic neckline is a crew neck. It fits right around the neckline, not too
high and not too low. It’s also traditional if you’re knitting a women’s
sweater. The main thing here is that it is a women’s sweater with built-in collar.

Colorwork Yoke Pullover is a pattern exclusive to the rest. Not only will you
get variations on this sweater pattern, but Eunny will also show you how to
knit three necklines, including this ladies crew neck collar sweatshirt. You’ll then be able to plug the
neckline numbers into any of Eunny’s variations to build the perfect sweater.
Scoop Neck
The
scoop neck is a neckline that’s just slightly lower than a crew neck, giving it
the little scoop from which it takes its name. This is great for layering over
button-down shirts, and it is something that is different from the
sweater with shirt collar attached,
because the neck isn’t too snug and gives you plenty of breathing room for more
layers.
Boat Neck
A
boat neck is characterized by its width, running wider than as compare to other
necklines. Boat necks come in many sizes, from a wider boat neck like the one
pictured above to a more modest boat neck that doesn’t show off quite as much
skin. According to the season when you’ll be wearing the sweater; boat necks
aren’t the best choice if you’re using the sweater to bundle up against
freezing temperatures.
Cowl Neck
You’re
probably already familiar with the popular cowl, right? A cowl neck looks like
you took one of those cowls and just plopped it right over your sweater. The
drape is very important when you’re choosing a yarn for a cowl neck. Choose a
yarn that’s going to drape softly, like the sport-weight alpaca used in the
Charlie Sweater pictured above.
V-Neck
This
is another neckline versatile enough to be worn by both men and women. The
V-neck, like the scoop neck, is great for layering. It’s a great neckline to
transition you through different temperatures, too, so consider knitting one
for fall and piling on those layers as the temperature falls.
Turtle Neck
Oh,
you remember the turtle neck from the 1980s, don’t you? I certainly do. I’m no
stranger to layering a puff-paint Christmas sweatshirt over a turtleneck and
sweating it out all day. The turtle neck on this vest is way cooler than any
turtle neck I ever wore. Remember that turtle necks don’t have to fit snugly
around your neck; they can be looser like this one, which is better for
layering and comfort in general.
Shawl Collar
A
wide collar that folds over on both sides represents a shawl collar. In some
cases, you may have to add another layer underneath a shawl-collar sweater. A
V-neck collar can easily be turned into a shawl collar by picking up some
stitches and knitting some additional length onto the collar.
Peter Pan Collar
The
Peter Pan collar is having a moment right now. My favorite thing about the
Peter Pan collar is that it doesn’t have to be attached to a sweater; you can
knit them solo as detachable collars and just wear them with whatever you’d
like.
