How to work a double knitted V-neck with knit 2 / purl 2

In this DROPS video we show how we work a double knitted V-neck. The neck should be worked in the round, but we only show parts of what happens on the front piece. We are showing:

1) Time: 00.04-01.36.
How to put the 2 mid-stiches on a needle and knit, and at the same time knit up stitches from the right side on the neckline. Insert 1 marker between the 2 mid-stitches; these stitches are always knitted. Knit up 2 more stitches on the left side, but the number of stitches must be divisible by 4.

2) Time: 01:37 -03:12.
Count back to the beginning of the round so the mid-stitches are knitted when working rib. Work rib (knit 2, purl 2), until there are 2 stitches left before the marker, knit 2 together (even it one stitch should have been a purl stitch), then slip 1 stitch as if to knit, knit 1 and pass the slipped stitch over the knitted stitch = 2 knitted stitches mid-front, purl 1 stitch and continue the rib to the end of the round.

3) Time: 03:13 -04:10.
Decrease like this on the next round. Above the 6 middle stitches, there will then only be knitted stitches.

4) Time: 04:12 -04:29.
Work in the round and decrease on every round until the finish measurement.

5) Time: 04:30-05:52.
Work 1 round without decreasing = folding edge.

6) Time: 05:54-08:21.
Now increase on each side of the mid-stitches every round as follows:
Work rib until there is 1 stitch left before the marker, make 1 yarn over, knit 2 (mid-stitches), 1 yarn over and work rib to the end of the round; yarn overs are worked twisted on the next round.

7) Time: 08:25-09:06.
Continue to increase until the finish measurement. Cast off with knit over knit and purl over purl.

8) Tid: 09:10-09:38.
Fold the neck double to the inside and sew a couple of stitches to keep it in place.

9) Tid: 09:39-09:56.
Finish the double knitted V-neck.
