I’m at the stage of picking up the arm hole stitches to knit the sleeves (knitted from the top down) however, the pattern simply states
“Start at the bottom edge and pick up 28 sts from one end and 28 sts from the other = 56 sts. Work stockinette st in the round.”
I have doubled the stitch count from the pattern (so for me I need to pick up 56 stitches, 112 in total)
However no matter which way I try, I either have too many stitches, or not enough. I have tried various golden ratio amounts, and it’s the same problem. Even picking up the stitches from the work (which to me that’s what the pattern says as it doesn’t say “Pick up and knit”
What might be a good method or a way around this? Although the photos aren’t helpful, it’s a drop shoulder cardigan, which comes down very low. There’s no decreasing on the armholes, just the neckline.
