I had a heck of a time trying to figure out the v-neck. I was to pick up 54 stitches on each side for my size. I could only fit 53. Some sizes had odd numbers picked up, others even, and I couldn’t visualize how that worked with a k2tog for all sizes for the mitered decrease. Luckily someone had this Cocoknits video in their project notes and that helped me out of my predicament. https://cocoknits.com/blogs/knit-tutorials/finishing-a-v-neck-with-ribbing

Completed the sweater just before we left on vacation last week; it’s waiting for me at home on the blocking mats. I agree with those who said the short rows seem unnecessary. But it looked great and fit the way I wanted—more photos to come!
