Im working on my first sweater and the armpits have gotten me a bit confused. I’m not exactly working with a pattern, but rather several youtube videos for inspiration. I’ve had a bit of luck so far (its bottom up), but I’m getting close to having to worry about how many stitches to set aside for the armpits, and I cant quite figure it out.
It deals with sts for the underarms as well as the rest of the sweater. I don’t think that’ll vary no matter which sleeve or yoke style you choose to work.
I heard that direction was easier (and better because you can try the fit), but only after I was about halfway through! I’m using simple tube sleeves, in the most basic way possible. I made a sweater dress right before this (my first non rectangle), but it was sleeveless. Thanks for your help!
