The pattern for the front neck shaping says work 2 tog, patt to last 4 sts, wrap yarn round next st, turn.
I have tried to work this out and I really don't understand what this means, could you please explain in more detail. Thanks

Hi Marie, what you need to do here is make a wrap and turn (w&t). This creates a 'short row' which shapes the garment.

This is a handy tutorial -

YouTube also has some good videos (it can be easier to see a technique like this in action when learning it!) - search for 'wrap and turn'.

Hope that helps!
