I am knitting the following Debbie Bliss Pattern: 10313540_Flower-Baby-Jumper,-Bloomers,-Cardigan,-Sandals-&-Bonnet-in-Debbie-Bliss-DB310-_2
Right now I am trying to knit the bloomers. At one point in the pattern after knitting the back and putting the last 20 stitches on a holder, I think I am supposed to knit the right and left side legs to the back piece. When I do that I get something like the picture I have attached. Does that look right?
Welcome to the forum!
Can you post just the directions for the last 20sts and for starting the left and right side legs? Don’t post a large portion of the pattern here due to designer copyrights.
Hello!
This is a follow-up to my question on Debbie Bliss bloomers. I have tried to include an excerpt of the instructions. I appreciate any help you can give. Thanks so much!

THIS IS WHERE I’M NOT SURE I’M DOING IT RIGHT:
Next row K these 22(24:26:28) sts, k20(22:24:26) sts from back holder, then k22(24:26:28) sts from holder. 64(70:76:82) sts.
Work 26(30:34:38) rows without shaping.
Dec row [P5, p2tog] 3 times, p22(28:34:40), [p2tog, p5] 3 times. 58(64:70:76) sts. Change to 2.75mm (US 2) needles. Rib row [K1, p1] to end. Work a further 9 rows in rib. Cast off in rib.
Yes, that looks correct. You’re joining the left and right side legs on either side of the back sts.
Thanks so much for getting back with me!!!
