I am sewing up greenwich jumper by rowan. The top of the Sleeves are shaped on a gradient. I am not sure where the cast off section fits.
Welcome to KH!
Your sweater has worked out well. I’ve made this sweater and as I recall the slant goes up and to the back. The lower part of the slant is at the front and the higher part at the back.
Like this:
The fisherman’s knit (or brioche tuck as it’s called on Ravelry) should continue as much as possible in this section of the sleeve top however. The RS/WS may have gotten switched? If possible you might take out the last few rows of the sleeve top and make sure the stitches align with the rest of the sleeve.
I have checked and the sleeves are in the right places. The pattern says to cast off 2 slitches on the 2nd row at the opposite side to the lower side of the slope, just below where you put the B
and this is the bit that I’m not sure where it fits?
I will probably ignore the cast off 2 instruction. Ill unpick and go straight. Thanks for your input/help
I don’t see the cast off 2 instruction. Your idea is a good way to work this so that there is no jog at the raglan edge.
I see this:
“Shape raglan
Keeping patt correct, cast off 3 sts at beg of next 2 rows.
67 [71: 75: 79: 83] sts.
Working all raglan decreases in same way as raglan armhole decreases,
dec 2 sts at each end of next and 2 [1: 1: 3: 5] foll 10th [10th: 6th:
6th: 6th] rows, then on 9 [11: 12: 11: 10] foll 8th rows. 19 sts.”
These are the usually pattern for the Greenwich raglan decreases, 2sts at a time. This will then match up to the armhole raglan on the body.
Have fun seaming up and finishing. I love wearing this sweater and I hope you do too!
This is where I’m a bit confused at the casting off for the slope at the top of the sleves. I am probably not reading it correctly, so I’m undoing them and going straight. Thanks again for yr time in helping me
. The jumper is for someone else so hope they like it!
This is the part that creates the slight slant at the very top of the sleeve. You can see it in the sleeve schematic.
For the left sleeve for example, work 6 rows and end with the WS facing for the next row, call it row 1. Cast off 3sts at the beg of rows 1,3,5,7 and 9 ending with the RS facing. Dec 2sts at the beginning of row 2. You’ll end with 2sts.
