I’ve made a few raglan top down sweaters and in some of the pattern pictures they look like crew necks and when I’ve made them they’re square looking. I’m using the Darlinjadore Quartz Sweater (i skipped doing the hard for me German short row part). the picture shows crew neck not my square neckline. It’s not flattering at all.
Thanks for any help 
Is this a top down sweater? Is the collar part of the cast on or is it added on later?
It’s a top down sweater and it’s the collar part of the cast on. I cast on the number of stitches per the pattern, knit the yoke down to the end of the raglan stitches and then continued the body. When I finished the sweater and tried on the sweater, the neckline was square rather than rounded like the picture. I guess it makes sense when you have the 4 sections of the raglan, the left and right ones that end up part of the sleeve and the wides part being the front and back of the sweater.
Thanks for answering so quickly! 
Well yes, you are essentially knitting in 4 sections but somehow the neckline does seem to round up.
I wonder if it would help to add a row or two of sts around the collar now? I have a sweater with a ribbed collar topped by a row or two of stockinette which curls over to the outside.
I actually wanted the whole neckline to be rounded like the pic of the Quartz Sweater but it came out more square than the whole thing rounded. Do you think if I picked up the stitches on the neckline I could do some kind of stitch that would round it at all? I prefer a flat neckline. Maybe some kind of single crochet stitch. That’s about all I know of doing crochet. Any other possibilities?
Thanks again
A line of singe crochet is worth a try. It should even out the corners.
I mentioned above that I had a sweater with a ribbing at the neck that ended in a couple rows of stockinette. The stockinette then curled over to the outside. That worked.
doing the top down type of sweater ITR i’d have had to do a stockinette row first and then the ribbing but since I did the neckline first with top down I can’t add the stockinette onto it now unfortunately. I was hoping for something flat that I could add on that wouldn’t curl. I appreciate your help. I guess I’ll look up a video for adding single crochet to a finished neckline. I really appreciate your help. Thanks for spending the time! Cathy
Yes, you’d have to pick up sts for a couple of rows of st st. The ribbing would stop the entire neckband from curling just the st st.
Anyway, you should be able to work the single crochet into the cast on row and that will even out or round the neckline.
Good luck with it!
Thanks!
I tend to end up having to do some kind of fix or trial and error whenever i make a different sweater pattern, It’d be a shock to my system if a pattern ever went perfectly, LOL
