Hi Knitting Forum,
I am having trouble working out how to work the other front side of a cardigan pattern (specifically the Magpie pattern by Marie Wallin).
It instructs me to work the right front as given for the left, reversing the shaping. I have done this, working decreases previously on RS rows on the WS etc
However, when working the first row of the front neck shaping on the left front, it specifies that this should start on a RS row by breaking the yarn, slipping the necessary number of stitches onto a holder and patterning to the end. The front neck shaping for the right front was also done on a RS row, by patterning the relevant number of stitches first then turning the work, leaving the remaining stitches on the holder.
The WS is now facing for the next row for both the left and right front.
This means that if I continue to follow the instructions, when I eventually reach the shoulder shaping, the slant created by progressively casting off over the next 7 rows will be the same as the right front. Surely this creates an odd seam at the shoulder when the cardigan is finished?
Thank you for your help and advice in advance!
