I have finished the back of this sweater and started the left front;
pattern says:"use a small separate ball of M for 4 sts in garter st at front edge.
1st rnd row (right side K 2*.to last 4 sts, k4
2nd row: K4 etc
keeping 4 sts for garter st border at front edge in M, work as follows: …etc
I have no idea how this works in keeping the garter sts attached to the body of the front of sweater. I understand why I need to keep a small amount of yarn to do this border as I do the pattern, but I don’t understand how to attach it to the main body.
help appreciated.
