Question
paperflowers
I'm making a women's top with a V-neck made up of two pieces that overlap (like a bathrobe). To form the neckline, each piece needs to be very slanted, almost horizontal. I've been trying to figure out a way to reduce stitches rapidly. I started with about 40 dc at the bottom and I need to reduce to around 11 st within 9 rows to form the strap at the top.
I've been experimenting with different height stitches to try to form a clean slant to the piece. What I'm trying now is at the end of the row do a dc-red, turn, 2 sl st, ch1, sc-red, hdc, then dc across. That reduces by about 7, but the dc-red juts up and looks like a bundle of loops.
Any ideas?
