Hoping some of those tips can help you as they mean nothing to me! LOL. Dinner looks awesome, I love meatloaf especially on the second day!

I only learned a DoubleCrochet2Together. I'll find out first before I attempt these suggestions. Thank you! I agree about the back and sides only, the front is perfect and will be wide enough to get my head through easily.Patsy Irene (Chillin' with Patsy)https://www.blogger.com/profile/17023685247825134744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4834649115402990406.post-26772298103159616202020-04-01T08:45:06.735-06:002020-04-01T08:45:06.735-06:00Thanks Deb.

It is easier than having to ask. :)<br />thank you so much for the sweater advice. Yes, I did 3 of the decreases but they appeared gathered (which wasn't a huge deal) but I only did one row. Two rows might make a difference. Yes, I wondered how to do a decrease at the front corners and up the sides without it looking silly. I appreciate your suggestions and have copied Maebemes, yours and Nancy's below to my phone for easy access. You're great, thank you so much!Patsy Irene (Chillin' with Patsy)https://www.blogger.com/profile/17023685247825134744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4834649115402990406.post-31800426675611758052020-04-01T08:40:32.880-06:002020-04-01T08:40:32.880-06:00good to have nice neighbours.

I agree with Deb, you need to run a row of stitches around the neck area (two rows if single crochet, one if double crochet), decreasing maybe every three stitches. If you want the front to be at the same level, just run the stitches along the sides and the back neckline (my preference). You could probably get away with TWO rows of decreasing stitches if need be. Give it a shot ... you can always rip it out.Nancy Kissackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03225296192386107554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4834649115402990406.post-23856242941989160042020-03-31T23:03:11.843-06:002020-03-31T23:03:11.843-06:00Those ducks look so pretty in the pond.

Nice to have neighbors willing to help you out. <br /><br />I am not sure what you tried to bring the neck in but I personally would consider trying some evenly spaced single or double crochet decrease stitches. I would space them out maybe only three or four decreases across the back and a couple in the front. Unless the front is the right width then I would not decrease at all just make single or double crochets in each one. In the front I think I would do them way out at the corners nothing right in the middle. Maybe even two rows of decreasing to make it less obvious that, that is what you did. Then a row of single or double crochet stitches. Is there a stitch to finish the neck you could use that in place of the last row of single or double crochets. I am not sure this will work but it is worth a try. The thing is no matter what you do in the end if it fits and looks good to you whose to know it is not the way it was suppose to be done.Tom and Debhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13564285175697134395noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4834649115402990406.post-11060366612810518532020-03-31T19:25:58.815-06:002020-03-31T19:25:58.815-06:00Nice that your neighbour could help you out.
