Question
QUESTION: please can you tell me how you make a square neck in knitting as i havent a clue do you need two sets of needles for both sides i dont get it!thanks

ANSWER: You don't need two sets of needles, but you use two balls of yarn. With first ball work to center sts. , bind off, work across remaining sts. On next row, work across first shoulder then attach a second ball and work across second shoulder.

QUESTION: thanks for the answer please could you give more detail as i dont understand could you put it in easier terms for me as i only know how to knit squares so find knitting terms hard to make out i would be very gratefull thankyou very much!

Answer
Yes, I would recommend a basic knitting instruction book. To try to explain in words how to bind off, and attach a new ball of yarn would be very wordy.
I like XRX's THE KNITTERS HANDBOOK, or Interweave's THE KNITTERS'S COMPANION.
Those books will provide diagrams.
