I love how techincal you are and how detailed you get with the steps and how you skip the sewing for this video... My project I'm making a tunic and adding a cowl... I've never done the neck holes, so your measurements strategy is perfect. I'm going to see how I can get the back of the neck to sit higher than the front with it being one piece of fabric folded... I may mesure the circle of the neck then scoot it forward a third... But before I cut I'm going to search your vids for you making a "crew neck"

I don't have a specific crew neck video, just a general one dealing with neckbands mellysews.com/sew-knit-neckband-finish-knit-necklines-sew-knit-binding/

Thanks for doing this! It’s really given me an idea. I have a sweatshirt I really like but the neck is just too large but I can see that if I take the neck bad off and replace it with a cowl then that should solve the problem. I’m otherwise very happy with the sweatshirt. Going to give this some serious thought.

I would think that would work - you might want to narrow the cowl toward the fold line instead of doing a straight rectangle like I did.

I don’t like anything too close to my neck, but your cowl is loose and you started with a drop-neck sweatshirt, I want to give it a try. BTW, love the material for the shirt you are wearing, noticed you matched your cuff patterns...nice.

Yes, I can't stand things hugging my neck, but I do like to keep it warm.

The link for pattern no longer works. I really want to make this.

I don’t understand what you mean. the blog post linked in the description has all the details to get the pattern, and it’s working.

@@Mellysews thank you! And thanks so much for this tutorial. I am so uncomfortable in crew neck sweatshirts, but also don’t want to be as casual as a hoodie. This is the perfect alternative. I’m doing this on a 3x sweatshirt, so my measurements seem huge, but I think it will work out. Happy Holidays!
