I have done this many times when I make V-Neck Pullover Vests for myself. My reason for wearing knitted vests is a result of our mild winters here in Las Vegas, it's perfect!
Take a look at Diana Sullivan's clear and precise video tutorial on how to achieve a nice looking and neat mitered neckband.
I like to have a nice garter row along the neck opening, here is how. I knit the neck band off the garment then attach. Take the sweater against the machine and decide how many needles you will use. On the same number of needles, start with a at least 10 rows of waste yarn and one row of ravel cord. Knit the neckband as in Diana's video. Pick up the first row of stitches above the ravel cord and hang on needles, knit one row at garment tension, remove on waste yarn (or remove on garter bar).
Hang the garment on the same number of needles with public side facing you and push behind the latches. Next, hang the neckband in the hooks of the needles with garter row facing the garment. Pull the neckband stitches through the garment stitches. Pull all needles out to hold and with neckband yarn knit one very loose row. Chain cast off.
This creates a nice finish with a garter row in-between the garment neckline and neckband.
