Raglan sleeve issues

I’m working on a cardigan that has a body and sleeves prepared. I’m confused about the decreasing. Does that happen on both sides of the sleeve insert?

Welcome to KH!
What is the name of your pattern and designer?
Do you have markers separating the sleeves from the back and fronts? Often the decreases are on either side of the 4 markers but in some patterns, there are decreases only at the body or only at the sleeves for some rows. It depends on the pattern.
You can quote a couple of rows of the directions if you’d like. Just don’t give us a large portion of the directions due to designer copyright.

Thanks for the note. I am making a Chaalkney Cardigan by Claire Slade. I did figure out the answer by reading the pattern again, and watching a video about raglan sleeves.

That pattern has a lovely detail up the sleeve and across the shoulder. Nice.

Glad to see you worked out what to do. Hope the rest of your project goes well.

Oh, good going. It always feels good when you can find the answer yourself. Thanks for the pattern information and enjoy working this lovely cardigan!
