Hi everyone! I have knit quite a few afghans before but I have never knit a sweater so this is my first attempt. I am shaping the back and do not understand the instructions. I have 124 stitches on my needle.
They are as follows: “When the piece measures 42 cm, on every other row bind off 1x6 sts and 3x2 sts at both ends for the armholes = 104 sts.”
Then I am instructed to begin the raglan decrease as follows: “On every other row decrease 25x1 sts at both ends. On a RS row p1, p2tog, work to last 3 sts, p2tog through back loop, p1. On every other row decrease 3x2 sts at both ends: on a RS row p1, p3tog, work to last 4 sts, p3tog through back loop, p1.”
I understand how to do the stitches mentioned. What confuses me is the 1x6 sts and 3x2 sts, and then the 25x1 sts. I have never heard this terminology. Any help would be appreciated!!
