Need help for a pattern

Yes it can be the same, a normal knit cast on. The edge isnt going to be seen so it’s not vital.
Excellent question because, you’re right, it will look a bit different to a knit cast on, on the right side.

If you prefer, you can use a purl cast on.
See this video, it’s in chapters and the purl cast on which matches the knit cast on is at 6 min 27

The main thing for this is to use a matching cast on for this piece and again when you do the right front. So here knit or purl cast on, and the right front also knit cast on, don’t switch to e loop cast on for instance

Do I have to do the whole diagram? Because the pattern says “When increases are done, cut the yarn. Last row worked is from wrong side” or I have to cut the yarn at row 24 (last row for increases).

You will stop after the last row of increases. This is a wrong side row (row 24, as you said), do those increases, work the rest of the row, then stop.
Cut the yarn long enough to weave in tails later, about 10cm.

Next you work the right front. On here you will see the increases are on the right side row. After the last increase row, work one more row, the wrong side row.
Both piece should now have the same number of chart rows done and both pieces are ready to work the next row from the right side (and be on the same chart row, no jog in pattern).
You can put a pencil mark on the pattern on that row, or write a note for yourself to remember to check they are worked equally.

The next part is joining the two and both pieces will be worked with the next row of the pattern chart.

Okayyy, thanks a bunch! :smile::smile:
At the end of the increase in the left shoulder is different from the right shoulder, is that okay?

#25

I’m not sure I know what you mean.
Both pieces should look the same (mirrored).

Can you explain further and/or take a pic?

#26

Yeah, I mean like this
Left shoulder
beginning of increase: in 18th row
end of increase, and cut yarn: in 24th row
Right shoulder
beginning of increase: in 17th row
end of increase: in 23rd row
Both end at different row at pattern chart, right?

You’re right to check this because it does matter and checking these things will lead to better understanding and outcomes.
The pattern takes this into account and asks you to work one more WS row on the right front piece, so it will end in row 24 like the left front.
I have just edited my previous post to bold a sentence which you might have overlooked.

Hopefully it makes sense.
