E-Z and Great Commercial Neckline also A variation to this neck line
By: Marian Reynolds

Explains how to do circular knitting on Brother and also on Singer,Studio, Silver Reed Standard gauge knitting machines.

What is different is the neck band will be a single band not doubled. This would be on a cut n sew neckline.

Another way is a neckband done on a shaped neck line. Your neck band will still be a single band

Directions are super easy.
