I’m tackling my first jumper!
It’s the King Cole pattern 5376.
I’m following the sweater version (not the hoodie) of the pattern and after doing 9 rows of the ribbing it says the following:
From the photo of the crew neck it looks like k2p2 ribbing all the way along the neckband. Nine rows of rib seem like plenty before a bind off.
Perhaps these are directions for the hoodie which would have ribbing then stockinette followed by more ribbing? Ordinarily “patt” or pattern some number of sts would mean continue in the pattern you have been working on previous rows but I see no evidence for anything other than rib in the crew neck.
This is not a complaint. It’s best to start a thread of your own. Your request is more likely to be missed if it’s at the end of another thread. If you don’t see what you want in the search I linked, just say so and we’ll do our best to help you find something you do want.
