I'm on the body... I've done the first k to 3 St's before m, ssk k2 k2tog... But I didn't think about markers and didn't put them back in... how many St's should it be I assumef something like 31 m 63 m 31? Please could you clarify at second part of decreasing markers... what should I have on the needle?

I've almost finished working the decreases and lp2 I'm 2 rows away from 83 stitches when I noticed that the left sleeve has 2 extra stitches between the markers compared to the right sleeve and the left front has 2 extra stitches of stockinette compared to the right. I really don't want to redo the yoke or sleeves.Becka2259https://www.blogger.com/profile/17849226966488318162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5855814526345582865.post-74809179600741515612021-04-03T22:36:27.609-07:002021-04-03T22:36:27.609-07:00Thank you for this lovely pattern!

For the two rounds when joining the sleeves, I just knitted onto the existing DPNs I used to knit up the sleeves and then transferred the knitted stitches onto the circulars. After that, I used The Magic Loop method, which seems to be working well.

The version in the book took into account some of the awkward instructions in this online version (for instance including 6 st markers). If you started off with the book version, you should continue with that one, rather than switching to the online version, as they are different. <br /><br />However, both patterns result in basically the same sweater, it's just a slightly different approach to how you get there. The book approach is proprietary to the publisher, so I cannot print it here, but they really aren't all that different.Nikki Van De Carhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17877527952720755130noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5855814526345582865.post-77949189617606026202016-07-22T02:32:11.311-07:002016-07-22T02:32:11.311-07:00Why are the patterns in the book and above differe...Why are the patterns in the book and above different??<br /><br />I am at the yoke, and after so much hard work it has gone to pot as I have 6 markers when there are only 4 in the above pattern (which I am assuming is correct??) Honestly it is so frustrating. The pattern in the book does not mention leaving the markers in place when on a stitch holder and the instructions for the yoke are completely different!<br /><br />I don't mean to be read but I think you should have people test out ALL your patterns before you publish them as this is beyond frustrating.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5855814526345582865.post-38594599943216506682016-07-03T05:27:29.589-07:002016-07-03T05:27:29.589-07:00I love what this looks like, but....
