Pattern Help
There are 4 markers or threads for the middle of the raglan lines. There will be a stitch on each side of the marker which is kept in stockinette (knit RS row, purl WS row) Knit one (the garter edge stitch, then k1, yarn over increases, k1, slip marker k1, yarn over. Then work across charts A1,A2,A3 from right to left. These charts are worked across the sleeve.
Continue with yarn over, k1, slip marker, k1, yarn over, knit 22 back sts, yarn over, k1,slip marker, k1, yarn over. Again work A1,A2,A3 from right to left across the sleeve sts, yarn over, k1, slip marker, k1, yarn over. For the left front (as you would wear the sweater) k1, k1 garter edge stitch.
The bold sections are the raglan lines with increases on each side. Remember to twist the yarn overs on the next purl row to close up the holes.

Your interpretation of the charts seems fine.
The number of sts in some of the chart rows needs to be checked.
I get Row 3, A2, 6sts; A3, 8sts
Row 7, A2, 6sts; A3, 10sts
Row 11, A2, 6sts; A3, 12sts
Usually markers between charts help out but these charts distribute the sts between A1, A2 and A3 so the markers may not be helpful.
Anytime. I hope you’ll post a photo when you finish. We’d love to see this pretty cardigan.
Yes, I will. Thank you.

Hello!
I been struggling with this chart repeats. I been frogging so many times. Can be frustrating sometimes. But Im up for challenges. I dont want to give up.
I really like this pattern.
After, I finished the Rows 1- 12, Do I start Row 1 (A1, A2, A3) again and just repeat the A2 in the middle?
Thank you for your help.
Essentially you are working A2 across the row with the exception of the single dec and single yarn over at the edges every 6th row.
It’s easier to think of this as one continuous A2 pattern now. You’ve set the placement of the yarn overs and double decreases acrosss the row with 3sts between them. Every 6th row a single dec and yarn over is worked at the edges (see A1 and A3).
Keep this pattern aligned as you work the given number of increases either side of the raglan markers and it will work out. You’ve got the correct idea of working A2 across most of the rows.

Thank you but really, I have an extensive background of my own knitting mistakes to rely on.
You’re doing well even taking on this pattern but it’s worth the effort. Have fun with it!
