Hi!
I’m knitting my first sweater and have knitted most of the back, decreased over a few rows for the armholes and then come to the section titled “Shape Back Neck”. The next instructions are in the picture.
I started this section with 39 st and have done the P.31, slipped 23st onto stitch holder and P the last 8, so right now I have 8 stitches on the needle, then 23 on the holder then 8 again on the same needle.
I’m confused about what to do next! Am I correct in thinking the “last set of st” means the final 8 of the last row? If so, after I’ve decreased on those 8 for a few rows and fastened off, how and where do i rejoin yarn? Am I supposed to cut the yarn after fastening off? And rejoin it somehow to the first 8? What happens to the 23 stitches on the stitch holder?
Thanks so much for your help!!
