I’m knitting my son the above sweater and I’m struggling with the pattern for the Sleeves and wondered whether anyone could help.
Extract from Pattern - Sleeves (both alike)
With 3.25mm needles cast on 57 sts. Work 8cm in ribbon as for back ending with a 2nd row, and increasing 1 st. at each end of last row.
Change to 4mm needles and patt.
Work 8 rows. Now keeping past. correct, inc 1 st. at end of next row and then every 12th row until there are 83 sts.
Work until sleeve measures 51 cm from cast-on edge, ending with 2nd part. row.
My query is that after working the rib and then the 8 rows, I’ve increased 1 st. only on one end of the row and then 1 st. every 12th row. I’ve now got 68 sts. and my work currently measures 37cms. I need another 15 sts. on every 12th row to reach 83 sts which would be a further 180 rows. This would be ridiculously over the desired length.
Should I have read the pattern as inc 1 st. at EACH end of next row?
Frustrating as I’m using Aran wool and with K1B definitely too difficult to unravel.
Any help appreciated. Thanks. Wendy
