I'm at the shoulder and neck shaping part, and I'm really confused how to "knit to match."
Basically, WHAT DO I DO?

You do the opposite. If you knit the row for the first part you knit, you need to purl it for the other shoulder. If the pattern says "k2tog", you need to ssk instead.

So basically:
Shoulder 1:
BO 6 (7, 8) sts, k20 (22, 24), k2tog, k1. place rem sts on holder. Next row: purl. Next row: BO 6 (7 ,8), k to last 3 sts, k2tog, k1. Rep these two rows until 8 sts rem.

BO, rejoin yarn and shape other side to match using ssk to dec instead of k2tog.


Shoulder 2:
p20 (22, 24), ssk, p1. Next row: knit. Next row: BO 6 (7 ,8), p to last 3 sts, ssk, p1. Rep these two rows until 8 sts rem.

BO, rejoin yarn.

Hope that helps!
