Hi Everyone,
I have been searching the internet and reading related posts concerning “at the same time” instructions on knitting help for about an hour and I’m completely stumped on the these instructions given in the pattern I’m knitting. Let me preface by saying this is a cardigan knitted from the bottom up - so there is a back and 2 fronts. I’m getting stumped with this left front part that concerns at the same time knitting.
Left Front (prior to starting the shaping, there is some ribbing worked from bottom up and then a few set up rows and knitting in pattern for about 7.5"):
Shape Side , Neck, and Armhole
Note: Side, neck, and armhole shaping are worked at the same time; please read entire section through before beginning. Neck shaping will not be completed until after armhole shaping is complete.
Side Dec Row (RS): Continuing in patterns as established, k2, k2tog, work to end- 1 st decreased.
Repeat Side Decrease Row on RS every 4" twice. AT THE SAME TIME, when piece measures 16" from the beginning, ending with a WS row, shape neck as follows:
Neck Dec Row (RS): Continuing to work side shaping if necessary, work to last 4 sts, ssk, k2 - 1 st decreased.
Repeat Neck Decrease Row [every 6 rows once, then every 4 rows once] 3 times, then every 4 rows 3 times. AT THE SAME TIME, when piece measures 18 " from the beginning, ending with a WS row, shape armhole as follows:
Continuing to work neck shaping, BO 2 sts at armhole edge once, then 2 sts 1 time.
Armhole Dec Row (RS): Continuing to work neck shaping, k1, k2tog, work to end - 1 st decreased.
Repeat Armhole Decrease Row every RS row 3 times - 16 sts remain when all shaping is complete. Work even until armhole measures 8 ", ending with a WS row.
Shape Shoulders
BO 5 sts at armhole edge twice, then 6 sts once.
** The above is also repeated for Right Front **
I truly appreciate any / all help!!
Thanks,
Karen
