This video explains how to calculate the number of stitches you will need to pick up and knit in each section of your neckline, how to plan for neckline symmetry (stitch counts and stitch pattern placement), the ratio of stitches to pick up along different types of edges (horizontal, vertical, and diagonal), and how to make corrections to your stitch count if you discover your stitch count is off after you've finished picking up stitches.
