Hello, I recently just started knitting a sweater using a pattern. I’m self taught, and am used to just winging it, so I’m a bit confused and don’t fully understand the pattern.
Here is the pattern: https://www.knitting-bee.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/Sandbar-Pullover-Free-Knitting-Pattern-Download.pdf
At the start of the “Front” part of the pattern it says “Work as for back until armholes measure 6 1/2 (7 1/2, 8 1/2, 9, 10)” ending with a WS row.
What does it mean “Work as for back”? Is this connected to the back piece at all or is it a separate piece?
Later on in the pattern, when making the sleeves, it says “Work new sts into pat when possible.” What does this mean? I know what it means in theory but it tells you to cast on a certain number of sts right after it. Is this wanting me to add more sts whenever or only when specified later in this section of the pattern?
Thanks for all the help! (I will probably have more questions later on in the process)
