I’m knitting the little ridge cardie from the King Cole newborn book 2. Being a new knitter I need some help with understanding the instructions for sleeve shaping on the left front. I have done the first bit of shaping which is : Keeping patt correct and taking cast on stitches into patt, cast on 5 sts at beg of next and following 1 alt row. Then it says: cast on 6 sts at beg of foll 5 alt rows. However, if I do this it seems to me that I will be casting on at the other end of the row to the first set of 2 x 5 stitches I have already added. This doesn’t seem right as it would be at the middle part of the front. I hope this makes sense and isn’t a daft question!
Shaping for sleeve
Hello
No question is daft. If it helps you get the answer you need then it’s the perfect question.
Next and following alternative row
Call “next” row 1
Cast on row 1, and 3
Then for the following 5 alt rows
Cast on rows 5, 7, 9, 11 and 13
They are all on the same end as they are all odd rows.
I hope this helps.
Thanks very much for explaining it so clearly. That makes perfect sense.
