I am knitting a sweater. Knit 7 rows ‘cut yarn and set aside’.
Do I put stitches on stitch hoder?
“Knit 7 rows (again), then knit across both pieces and join in the round”
Can I just knit them all at once in the round instead of in two separate pieces?
Welcome, I totally agree with rcubed however you do not say which part of the sweater you are working on. If it is the bottom of the back and the front it might be a design element or it might be instead of shaping.
Thank you - that is tremendously helpful. What I am trying is to knit the two parts separately, but on one circular needle, joining them after 7 rows. I am not all that experienced but I have thought it through and I think this will give the opening in the pictures you are showing, without me having to ‘store’ the first 90 stitches.
Just a suggestion, if you begin both sets of 90 with different balls of yarn working on the circular needle but back and forth for 7 rows (as you reach end of row of first piece drop the yarn pick up second yarn ball and knit row on second piece to end, turn work to work row 2 etc) then after the 7 rows when you turn you continue with one ball and just leave the other dropped to weave in later (or weave in as you knit), this would join the two sections.
I knit sleeves both at the same time working back and forth with 2 balls of yarn.
Great you worked out a way you were happy with. If I’d done it that way I probably would have ended up casting on in the wrong direction.
What you’ve done works and saved you from moving all those stitches which is great.
