I’m currently knitting this pattern. I’ve completed the back and have just finished the two decrease rows for the raglan. I started with 117 stitches and now have 99 stitches.
The next row is as follows
(K1tbs, P1) 3 times, K1tbs, P2tog, work to last 9 sts, etc
Once I’ve done the P2tog, I’m not sure where to continue to keep the pattern correct.
I believe I should be doing Row 1 of the group of 6 tyres before the raglan decrease. I’m just unsure where the pattern continues after the P2tog mentioned above.
I’d appreciate some help please
Welcome to KnittingHelp!
What is the name of your pattern and designer?
The best way to work this is to complete the beginning of the row instructions and after the P2tog, look at the pattern set up in all the previous rows. Then you can decide what the next series of sts should be in order to maintain that pattern. You want the pattern to align even though there are fewer sts on this row. This is reading your knitting.
The other way to look at it is to count the sts used in the directions at the beginning of the row.
The pattern takes 9sts to complete the (K1tbs, P1) 3 times, K1tbs, P2tog, so you can count 9sts into the pattern stitch and pick up the correct place in the current pattern row that way.
When you worked the decrease rows for the raglan, did you have to adjust the stitch pattern to account for those decreases?
Thank you for your reply. I didn’t have to do much as the original first 10 were knit on one row and purl on the other row. So with decreasing 9 stitches either side meant I then only did K1 on the first decrease row then continue with the pattern to the end. The next row was the same except I started with P1
So does that pattern work for the current decreases or is there more to the pattern stitch?
What is the name of your pattern and designer? It’ll help unless you’re ok now.
Remember too that a lifeline is always a help just in case there’s a mistake and you need to rip back.

I’m not sure about a name. It’s a raglan sleeve sweater. I can’t see who the designer is.
The pattern worked for the two decrease rows. I followed the pattern for Row 5 & 6 for the decrease rows
