Hi all!
I am working on the Jumana Sweater by Louisa Harding, though very lovely, I am having a bit of a troublesome time with the sleeve head shaping.
I had 79 stitches before I started shaping. Then to complete the shaping I did the following steps:
- Cast off 5 stitches at the start of a knit row.
- Cast off 5 stitches at the start of a purl row.
- Cast off 3 stitches at the start of a knit row.
- Cast off 3 stitches at the start of a purl row.
(by now there is 63 stitches)
- Decrease 1 stitch at the start and end of the next 3 and 2 following rows (This confused me but I think that Louisa was basically instructing the decreases to occur over 5 rows - ?)
(by now there is 53 stitches)
- Work 3 rows
This is where I am struggling… the pattern instructs I need to “Decrease one stitch at the start and end of the next row and 2 following 4th rows.” - what does she mean by this?
I would really appreciate any help!
