In my sweater pattern, I’m knitting the raglan yoke part right now, and doing the purl every other row, then knitting row (knit yo knit sm k yo k to next marker…) every other row.
When I get finished with the 37 pairs of eyelets along the raglan shapelines, it says:
Work two more rows even
What does that mean? Work two more rows even?
Thanks in advance for any help you can give me with this.
An instruction to ‘work even (or work x rows even)’ is put in a pattern after increases or decreases. It means keep the stitch number ‘even’, don’t inc or dec.
It doesn’t say that because sometimes the pattern can be more complicated than k one row, p one row. It’s really sort of an abbreviation that takes up less space to print.
Continue in pattern as established. That is, your next row is purl then the next row is the one with decreases and yo’s. Continue these two row repeats with no additional increases or decreases for as many rows, or until the length specified, as directed. HTH
