Pattern confusion

How-to Questions
1

I’m fairly new to knitting(I’ve been crocheting for 5+ years now) and I am attempting to make a sweater but I’m becoming a bit confused with the pattern. Im attempting to make the COMING SOON sweater by Susanne Müller
I know how to cast on, but by round 2 im a bit confused and i haven’t found any helpful YouTube videos.

Question 1: What does it mean to ptog the st with the yo from the previous rnd? I am just not clear about using the yo from previous rnd (pattern is below)

Rnd 1: * k1, sl 1 st purlwise with yo, rep from * to end of rnd.
Rnd 2: * k1, ptog the st with its yo from previous rnd, rep from * to end of rnd.
Rnds 1 and 2 create the Half Brioche pattern and are repeated throughout.

Question 2: Does working all sts in the pattern mean just knit them? or do I repeat rnd 1? (pattern below)

Rnd 3: work all sts in pattern.

Question 3: Again i am wondering, do i just knit these stitches its telling me to work or am i supposed to be following step 1 and 2 repeating (pattern below)

In rnd 4 place stitch markers (pM) for orientation when working the raglan inc’:
Rnd 4: work 2 (2) 2 (2) 2 (2) sts (= left sleeve) in pattern, pM, work 11 sts in pattern (= raglan-sts), pM, work 23 (25)
25 (27) 29 (29) sts in pattern (= back), pM, work 11 sts in pattern (= raglan-sts), pM, work 13 (13) 13 (13) 13 (13) sts in
pattern (= right sleeve), pM, work 11 sts in pattern (= raglan-sts), pM, work 23 (25) 25 (27) 29 (29) sts in pattern (=
front), pM, work 11 sts in pattern (= raglan-sts), pM, work 11 (11) 11 (11) 11 (11) sts in pattern (= left sleeve), sM
(= beg of rnd).

I appreciate any and all advice given :slight_smile:

In Round 1, you knit one, then slip a stitch and make a yarnover–the slipped stitch will be worked together with the yo on the next row.
Here’s a video:

Working all stitches in pattern means to continue doing what you’ve been doing before. In this case, you would repeat Round 1.

You will continue to repeat the first 2 rows throughout the pattern, slipping stitches and making yos on the right side, purling the slips and yos on the wrong side. This is what gives the ribbed effect. While working those rows, you’ll be increasing at the markers that you place on Row 4.

Welcome to KH and to knitting!


#1 The yarn over from round 1 will be purled together with the next stitch on the needle. This sweater is knit in half Brioche. Here’s a video for the Brioche pattern stitch in purl which nicely shows this.

#2 and 3. Working sts in pattern means repeating the pattern you have established in previous rows. Since this sweater is mostly half Brioche, it means repeat rounds 1 and 2. At the raglan stitches, the pattern also looks to be half Brioche. You want the stitches to continue the pattern with the columns aligned and not jogged over.
