Hello! I am new to this group and sort of new to knitting and I am worried I got in over my head with a pattern. I really hope someone here might be able to help me. I understand how to do the individual techniques in the pattern, and am good at finding videos, etc. when I need to, but I am so confused reading these instructions. The pattern is by Katherine Hannibal Sweater with Specks
I began with a provisional cast on in a scrap yarn per the directions and constructed one round, placing markers at the raglan points as directed. I began at center back and knit 11(half back), purled 3 (raglan), knit 2 (sleeve), purled 3 (raglan), knit 24 (front), purled 3 (raglan), knit 2 (sleeve), purled 3 (raglan), knit 11 (half back).
Now this is where I am confused. The next step is to work short rows along the neckline, over the sleeves and partly on the front piece. It says to also wrap and turn over the raglan seams. For Row 1 I am supposed to knit 9 and to increase at the raglan seams, then turn. But since I knit 11 before reaching the raglan on the first round, how will I reach the raglan seam in order to increase as the instructions say? Wonât I be stopping and turning two stitches before I reach the raglan? The wording just does not make sense to me from Row 1 through Row 6.
I would be so grateful if someone could spell this out to me with a little more clarity. Note I am knitting the second size. I understand how to do a short row stitch, how to increase, but just donât get what they are asking of meâŚThank you SO much for anyone who can shed some light on this.
