Use k2tog and p2tog on the same edge. Use ssk and ssp on the same side. You can try this out yourself on a swatch or on the actual neckline. If it doesn't look right, take it out and change it!

All the instructions say is dec 1 st at neck edge every row. I'm trying to get the nice chain at the edge, having a terrible time. Not sure which combo of stitches will have the right effect- for instance, on the left side (public) k2tog and (back) ssp? or k2tog and p2tog? or k2tog and s1p1psso? or some other combination?

What does the pattern say? SSK is a left slanting decrease and k2tog is right slanting.

Here is a link to some help on decreases, it gives both knit and purl decreases. http://www.knittinghelp.com/videos/decreases. You could also just google knit decreases and it should bring up some you tube clips.

I'm confused as to which type of decrease to use to shape the neck- SSK? k2tog? What about on the purl side? HELP!!!
