Good day,

Can you please assist with the below. I’m not sure how from 61 stitches on the turn you only supposed to have 17 stitches left?

Now work as given for back from *** until 51 [51: 61: 61: 67] sts rem in raglan armhole shaping.
Work 1 [1: 3: 3: 5] rows, ending with RS facing for next row. Shape front neck
Next row (RS): Sl 1, (K3, sl 1, K2tog, psso) 0 [0: 0: 0: 1] times, K11 [11: 16: 16: 13] and turn, leaving rem sts on a holder.
12 [12: 17: 17: 18] sts.
Work each side of neck separately.
Dec 1 st at neck edge of next 5 [5:6:6:6] rows,then on foll 0 [0:2:2:3] alt rows and at same time dec – [-: 2: 2: 2] sts at raglan armhole edge on – [-: 2nd: 2nd: 6th] and – [-: 1: 1: 1] foll 6th row.
7 [7: 5: 5: 5] sts

Thanks

For the 3rd or 4th size,
Next row (RS): Sl 1, K16 and turn, leaving rem sts on a holder.

You slip one, knit 16 and then turn as you would at the end of a row. There will be 17sts on the right hand needle before the turn. The remaining sts which are on the left hand needle can be placed on a holder or you can leave them on the needle but ignore them. You’ll get to them later.

What is the name of your pattern?

Hello

It is a raglan shoulder. Please see the pattern attached. I am doing size L. I am now by the neck line step.

Regards

Wendy

I’ve had this pattern in my favorites but haven’t gotten to it yet. Thanks for the pattern name. That’s all we really need.

Are you ok with the neck shaping now?
