Could you please tell me if I have read this pattern correctly?
I have completed the raglan shaping (4 rows) but the next part is confusing:
It says to work 2 rows so, looking at the number of stitches I should have left, do I just do the “1st Row” under raglan - k2 s1 k1 psso to last 2 - k2tog
and the pattern in row 2 ?
I know that the raglan and neck is the pattern in 1st row but where is the decrease on neck edge? Is that where is says p2togtbl or do I just do k2 s1 k1 psso and part to end?
I
Work the first two rows after the cast off under Shape Raglan (69sts).
Then work the next 2 rows which are a repeat of rows 1 & 2 (65sts).
Work 1st Row as written under For all 6 sizes with a decrease at each end (63sts).
Work 2nd Row (bottom of the page) with no decreases (63sts).
Purl2togtbl is the decrease toward the end of the purl row. Is that the neck edge? Which part of the sweater is this, a front or back?
This is the front left and I am doing the 3rd size so I start off the section in 39 stitches. The k2tog will be the neck and the K2 s1K2 psso is the raglan edge.
For the section under Shape Raglan,when there is a decrease row, the decreases are at both the neck and raglan seam.
Thanks for your reply.
This is the part I’m finding confusing.
Under the part where it says for 2nd,3rd , 4th, 5th, 6th sizes it tells me to work 2 rows decreasing at raglan edge but 0decreasese at neck- so do I just do the K2 s1 k1 psso ( this is my raglan edge)
8 rows following:
It tells me to dec at raglan edge next and every following alternate row -) so this will be on 1,3,5,7 of the 8 rows?
Rows 3 and 7 would be both ends.
Thank you.
I see. I was looking at the wrong section. This is column2… Yes, just work the dec at the raglan edge but no dec at the neck edge.
And yes, on the following 8 rows, dec at the raglan on rows 1,3 and 5 and at the neck edge on row 3. That should take you from 27sts to 23 sts. I know it says 8 rows but if you’re to keep to the stitch count you only need 4 decreases.
