Pattern help - stuck

I’ve picked up knitting I started a decade plus ago, and have run into a stumbling block. The pattern is Patons 1082 Aran sweater. It is knitted flat bottom up. I’m currently working on the front shaping of neck and raglan sleeves but I’m confused and hoping someone might be able to help.

Here is what I think it means:
Right hand front side
Neck decreases every row. P2tog (wrong side) and K2tog (right side)
Raglan decrease - always on right side at the beginning k2 s1 k1 psso

Is this correct?

For the left side front
Neck decreases every row
Wrong side p2tog tbl?
Right side k2 s1 k1 psso?

Raglan decrease always right side k2tog?

I’ve attached a copy of this part of the pattern. Thank you in advanced for your help

Welcome to the forum!
I’m always so pleased when someone picks up an unfinished project and this is an especially lovely one.


For the first set of the directions for the left side front (left as you would wear the sweater) at the neck edge you might work k2tog on RS rows and p2tog on WS rows (right leaning decreases). That’s mainly because the pattern has set up a slip, k1, psso at the raglans (left leaning decreases).

If you continue this pattern of decreases when you get to the right side front you would work a slip,k1,psso at the neck edge and a p2tog tbl. Continue k2tog at the raglans.

Love the cables on this sweater.

Thank you so much for your clarification of these instructions. Am so happy I found this wonderful knitting family who are willing to assist. Thank you, thank you, thank you! I think this sweater will finally get finished. :grin:
