Hi, I’m doing a different project (baby cardigan) now but I’m confused yet again by understanding the pattern. Here’s most of the pattern:
BACK
With 1 strand each of A and B held tog, cast on 23 (25, 27) sts. Work in K1, p1 Rib until piece measures 1 in. (2.5 cm) from beg. Work in Garter st until Back measures 9 1/2 (10 1/2, 11 1/2) in. (24 (26.5, 29) cm) from beg. Bind off.
POCKET LINING (make 2)
With 1 strand each of A and B held tog, cast on 7 sts. Work in Garter st for 2 in. (5 cm). Transfer sts to holder.
RIGHT FRONT
With 1 strand each of A and B held tog, cast on 13 (15, 17) sts. Work in K1, p1 Rib until piece measures 1 in. (2.5 cm) from beg. Work in Garter st until piece measures 3 in. (7.5 cm) from beg; end with a WS row.
Pocket Welt
Next Row (RS): K3 (4, 5), p1, (k1, p1) 3 times, k3 (4, 5).
Next Row: K3 (4, 5), k1, (p1, k1) 3 times, k3 (4, 5).
Next Row: K3 (4, 5), bind off 7 sts, k3 (4, 5).
Next Row: K3 (4, 5), knit 7 sts of one Pocket Lining from holder, k3 (4, 5).
Work even until Right Front measures 7 1/2 (8 1/2, 9 1/2) in. (19 (21.5, 24) cm) from beg; end with a WS row.
Neck Shaping
Next Row (RS): Bind off 3 (4, 6) sts, k to end of row – 10 (11, 11) sts.
Decrease 1 st at neck edge every row 2 times – 8 (9, 9) sts. Work even until piece measures 9 1/2 (10 1/2, 11 1/2) in. (24.5 (26.5, 29) cm) from beg. Bind off.
Mark placement for 4 buttons: first button just above ribbing, top button 1/2 in. (1.5 cm) below beg of neck shaping, and 2 evenly spaced between.
I’ve done the back part, and now about to do the pocket lining. It does said I have to make 2 pocket linings then transfer the stitches to stitch holders. After I transfer the stitches to a stitch holder what do I do with the yarn? Do I have to tied the yarn and cut it after I finished doing the pocket linings before doing the right front and pocket welt ? Or do I actually meant to continue on to do the right front and pocket welt and then pick the stitches from the stitch holder later on?
Although it does says easy on the pattern but it’s not so easy to understand the pattern from a novice knitter. Hope my question is clear enough and someone will be able to help :D. Thanks a milion.
