Question on pattern

#1

I am knitting a sweater back. I decided instead of stocking stitch, I would knit this pattern. Ki, yo, sl,ki, psso. Next row, just purl. However what I am seeing is my rows of holes are slanting to the left. Will this be corrected when I block the pattern pieces before sewing together? Also why are the slanting diagonally?

I can’t really see the slant but a guess: it’s your yarn. What yarn are you using? Did you swatch in stockinette and if you did was there a slant there?

Could you spread out your knitting and photograph it again so we can see the rows of holes?

(If you are worried stitches coming off the needles, you can thread your knitting onto a strand of spare yarn for the photograph.)

Showing holes, no I didn’t do a swatch in ss because I am doing another sweater with same yarn in ss and it’s not an issue. The yarn Is Bernat Satin.

I’m still not seeing the slant. I believe it’s there but I’m not seeing it in the photos. I wonder if it has to do with using left leaning decreases. You might try every other eyelet row using k2tog instead of skp to see if it works out better for you.
