WOW, I cannot believe that I forgot to publish my granny square #7 for the neckline area - the triangle (also called the "V") part. And it has been a year since I published a written pattern for Granny Square #6 😲!!! I just made a Granny Square #7 video tutorial last year, but never published the written pattern. OK, it is time to fix it.
In this square (actually rather a triangle) I decided to use many tiny triangles within a big triangle. You can flip it (use the "wrong side") for the other side of the sweater, or crochet sloping (diagonal) line on the opposite side (you may have to figure that one on your own).
Also if your arms are heavier than mine (mine are close to the toothpick size, well not really, but they are rather thinner than most of the people) make an insert under the arm. I videotaped how to do that and will publish this soon.
Sorry, my dear crocheters it took so long - I got sidetracked. I do that often. Too many ideas in my head.
Soooo, happy crocheting.

Note: Most of the time I work as fast as I can to keep up with knitting and crocheting requests. I have to videotape, edit videos, then convert them & upload them to my channel. After that often I post on my blog patterns. I answer many questions, which means that often I work up to 16 hours a day. I would tremendously appreciate IF anyone of you who finds an error in the written pattern, so please, let me know - where (what rows) and what may be the problem. Many future knitters & crocheters from our artsy and crafty virtual world will thank you for your good deed, including myself.
