I am working on the pinwheel sweater and have a question on the instructions for the sleeve.
[color=darkblue]Knit 8 rounds and then decrease as follows: on first 2 stitches ssk, knit to the last 2 stitches in the round, kint 2 together. Continue this decrease every 8th round 2 more times.[/color]
My question is do I knit the first 8 rounds, then decrease? Or do I decrease on the 8th round? Also do I count the decrease round as the first round of the next eight rounds?
You will knit 8 full rounds. At the beginning of the next round you will ssk, then K2tog the last 2 stitches of that round. For sake of discussion let’s call the decrease round, round 9 - it’s then asking you to decrease in the same way every 8th round, 2 times more (in other words, a total of 3 times), so those will be on round 17 and 25.
