Hi everyone!
I’m about halfway done this pattern and I have a few questions…Is there anyone on here who has knit this before?
Thanks!
Welcome!
If you ask your questions maybe we can help. Don’t quote a large portion of the pattern due to designer copyright please. A few rows are usually enough.
If someone here has the pattern it would be great as I don’t want to post too much of the pattern in respect of her copywrite.
My question is: when do you knit or bind off the stitches held on the stitch holders from the front of each shoulder? Is it when you bind off the top of the shoulders? Or? I can’t seem to find these stitches mentioned anywhere else in the pattern after they are placed onto stitch holders.
I am at step 13 on page 7 of 19 in the pattern…
I actually just figured out the answer to my Ustinov after rereading the pattern for the umpteenth time…
I’m sure I will have more!

Question not Ustinov…I hate autocorrect!
That’s the best solution. Sometimes it just takes that umpteenth read. I love it when the light bulb clicks on.

You can cut the yarn after completing step 19 and then use a new end of yarn to work the cabled border on the other side of the hood. I often leave enough yarn so that if it becomes more convenient to use the yarn tail on the end of the first half of the hood (step 19) to bind off or graft, I have it there. Most times the yarn used for the second half is just fine for the bind off or graft.
If you cut the yarn be sure to leave enough to weave the tail in (about 6 inches) later.
Thank you!
Next question; I have never grafted before. Do you have any suggestions for YouTube’s for me to watch to learn how? Or other suggestions?
I would try grafting on knit and purl swatches. Working grafting in plain stockinette is fairly straightforward. When you have a combination of knits and purls, you need to be more careful.
Three needle bind off is easier but it does leave a seam. The cable border won’t be continuous with 3 needle bind off.
Thank you so much you’ve been a big help!
