I am knitting the Cable Jacket and as I am not a new knitter I have a problem with the pattern.
It says to Patt 21 more rows, I am assuming this means to repeat the 5 rows 21 times ?
I am not sure if thats what it means as the rest say Work 9 rows or Patt 17 rows or cont in pattern and work 21 rows. So confusing
By itself, patt 21 more rows should mean just 21 rows not a repeat of 21 times.
Continue in pattern and work 21 rows or work 9 rows or patt 17 rows also mean just that number of rows, not that number of repeats.
If you’d like you can quote the row exactly or post a photo showing that row. Don’t give us more of the pattern due to designer copright please.
Thanks, however I still can’t understand that cause the first 5 rows is where I am at , and not sure how to get to 21 rows? I am think that row 2-5 make the pattern and that’s what I need to do 21 times. Hope this makes sense
Yes, you’re correct. Repeat “The 2nd to 5th rows …”
After your Row 5, a right side (RS) row, begin the repeat with Row 2, a wrong side (WS) row. The repeat continues with Row 3 (a repeat of Row 1, RS) and Row 4 (a repeat of Row 2 WS). Every Row 5 will have the cable crosses.
You only need to work this for 21 rows more however, not 21 repeats which would be 84 rows. The pattern is clear when it says “Patt 21 more rows.”
Then you’ll begin the decrease section. The initial pattern rows plus the 21 rows (red line) are a relatively short portion of the back before the decreases begin.
Thanks so much it now makes sense
Have fun with this sweater. It’s lovely looking with pretty detail.
