Hello there
I have just completed the back of this sweater and am now starting on the front. I am doing the large size so second one in brackets. As I have looked further on, I cannot work out what to do on the shaping of the neck:
FRONT
Work as given for back to **.
Cont in rib patt until front meas 7 cm, ending with RS facing for
next row. (Note: Front is 15 cm shorter than back below markers.)
Now work as given for back from *** until 51 [51: 61: 61: 67] sts
rem in raglan armhole shaping.
Work 1 [1: 3: 3: 5] rows, ending with RS facing for next row.
I understand up to this point and should therefore (when I get there) have 61 sts on my needle. This next part is where I am getting confused:
The instructions say do this 0 times??? And 16 and 17 don’t add to 61??
Shape front neck
Next row (RS): Sl 1, (K3, sl 1, K2tog, psso) 0 [0: 0: 0: 1] times,
K11 [11: 16: 16: 13] and turn, leaving rem sts on a holder.
12 [12: 17: 17: 18] sts.
The next set of instructions have me totally flummoxed
Work each side of neck separately.
Dec 1 st at neck edge of next 5 [5: 6: 6: 6] rows, then on foll 0 [0: 2: 2: 3]
alt rows and at same time dec – [-: 2: 2: 2] sts at raglan armhole
edge on – [-: 2nd: 2nd: 6th] and – [-: 1: 1: 1] foll 6th row.
7 [7: 5: 5: 5] sts.
It then goes on to say:
Sizes L, XL and XXL only
Work – [-: 3: 3: 5] rows, dec 1 st at neck edge of – [-: 2nd: 2nd: 4th]
of these rows. 4 sts.
Next row (RS): Sl 1, sl 1, K2tog, psso. 2 sts.
All sizes
Work 1 row, ending with RS facing for next row.
Next row (RS): K2tog and fasten off.
With RS facing, slip centre 27 sts onto a holder, rejoin yarn and K
to last 0 [0: 0: 0: 7] sts, (K3tog, K4) 0 [0: 0: 0: 1] times.
Complete to match first side, reversing shapings.
Any help would be warmly welcomed. Otherwise, I might have to take the back apart and do something else.
