I’m new to knitting GSR on the round and I’m looking for assistance understanding my pattern.
Ignore the writing on the pattern, it’s keeping me right of no. Of raglan increases made on each row and I’m also left handed 
The part of image circled is what I’m looking to achieve
.
My first question is this: The last sentence of row 1 “you are now 1 st into the sleeve, turn” - do I need to join the stitch before turning (as if I keep working to turning pattern, it will become flat knitting and not on the round? And what’s the best way to join, if my thinking is correct?
Question 2: 3rd and following rows say pattern until x St after the last turn, turn. Does this mean eg at row 1 I knitted 1 st into sleeve so row 3 I will knit the 2nd sleeve stitch before I turn? Row 5 would be 4 stitches into the sleeve?
I’ve exhausted searching on the Internet so any advice is hugely appreciated.
Thanks in advance
Claire
Welcome to KH!
After the last M1L there is a k1. That k1 is in the sleeve. Turn and work a double stitch. You’ll be on the wrong side (WS) of the sweater knitting back and forth or flat for these short rows. I don’t know what you mean by “join” or the best way to join?
For these rows count stitches past the double stitch. So on row 3, yes you’re turning on the second stitch into the sleeve. For 2sts past the last turn, you’re into the 4th sleeve stitch. If you count sts past the last double stitch, you’ll be on track. It may help to mark the double stitch if that makes it easier to see.

Thank you for getting back to me so quickly. I now realise that working a double stitch will keep my project seamless, when I come back to knitting that row, so there is no need to try and ‘join’ my work.
Your explanation made it easier for me to understand the pattern. 
Here’s a photo of my WIP. Blue arrow indicates I knit off right needle onto the left and the circle is the 1st stitch into the sleeve which I will knit before turn and work a double stitch
Just so I understand, you’re knitting in the direction of the dark blue arrow and we are seeing the inside of the knit piece?

Yes, that is correct. As I’m left-handed, I knit from right needle onto the left.
The red marker is my BOR, and the stitches to its right are row 1 of the pattern that I’ve just completed, and I’m about to turn my work and start the 2nd row.
It looks lovely. Can you tell us the name and designer of your pattern? We love to know these things and it’s often helpful.
