Omg, thank you so so much! This really helped. About the last sentence, yeah, I do believe you’re right. The pattern description goes like this:
ROUND NECK CARDIGAN
BACK
Cast on 63 [69: 75: 81: 87] sts using 33⁄4mm (UK 9 – US 5) needles and M.
Work in g st until Back measures 19 [21: 25: 28: 31] cm, (I didn’t work the decreases yet, but I’ll get there now, thanks to you)
71⁄2 [81⁄4: 93⁄4: 11: 121⁄4] in, ending with a ws row.
Shape raglan armholes
Cast (bind) off 3 sts at beg of next 2 rows. 57 [63: 69: 75: 81] sts. Break off M and join in A.
Joining in and breaking off colours as required, now work rem section of raglan armholes in stripe sequence (see page 2), working shaping as follows:
Dec 1 st at each end of next and 9 [9: 8: 8: 8] foll 4th rows, then on foll 6 [8: 12: 14: 16] alt rows. 25 [27: 27: 29: 31] sts.
Work 1 row, ending after 6 [6: 8: 8: 8] rows using G and with a ws row.
Break yarn and leave rem 25 [27: 27: 29: 31] sts on a holder (for Neckband).
The stripe sequence is like this:
STRIPE SEQUENCE
Once main sections using M have been knitted, raglan sections are completed in g st in stripes as follows:
Using A, work 8 [8: 10: 10: 10] rows.
Using B, work 8 [8: 8: 10: 10] rows.
Using C, work 8 [8: 8: 10: 10] rows.
Using D, work 8 [8: 8: 8: 10] rows.
Using E, work 6 [8: 8: 8: 10] rows.
Using F, work 6 [8: 8: 8: 8] rows.
Using G, work 6 [6: 8: 8: 8] rows.
