Hello, i am a beginner knitter and i am attempting to knit my first sweater. I managed to follow all of the instructions so far, but this part is a little confusing to me:
Shape shoulder and neck:
Count 24 (27, 27, 29, 31, 34) sts from one side, place a marker, count next 8 (8, 10, 10, 10, 12) sts and place a second marker. There are 24 (27, 27, 29, 31, 34) sts remaining to the other side.
Row 8 (RS): K1 to first marker for right shoulder. Remove marker, join the 2nd ball of yarn and bind off 8 (8, 10, 10, 10, 12) sts; removing the 2nd marker for back neck. K1 to end of row for left shoulder.
You will now work on both shoulders AT THE SAME TIME with two separated balls of yarn.
Row 9: On left shoulder, P1 in all sts. On right shoulder, cast off first 3 (4, 3, 4, 4, 4) sts, P1 in remaining sts.
Row 10: On right shoulder, K1 in all sts. On left shoulder, cast off the first 3 (4, 3, 4, 4, 4) sts, K1 to end of row. Repeat last Row 9 and Row 10 once more.
There are 18 (19, 21, 21, 23, 26) sts on each shoulder.
Maybe it’s really self explanatory but i just really can’t seem to wrap my head around it. How do i work on both shoulders at the same time??
