Working in the round

My name is Susan,p.

Hello to everyone,
My name is Susan. I am knitting a child’s sweater and the pattern states:
CO10 sets at beg of row for center neck. K inc before & after eachbmarker. Do not turn. K across sts of front& left sleeve. Place a different color marker to designate this as the beg of rnd from here on.do not turn. K in round.
Does this mean I start to knit in the round In the middle of the row where my marker for the left sleeve is or do I join at the end of the row?
Thanks so much for any help.

Join the end of the row to the beginning of the row to start knitting in the round. Continue knitting across the front and left sleeve then add a marker for beginning of round.
What is the name of your pattern?

The pattern is Ann Norling Pattern #53. I’m knitting the crew neck pullover version of the sweater. Thank you for your response.

Very nice.

Hi I’m doing the same pattern! I’m very new to knitting and I don’t understand which markers this step is referring to? It just says K across sts of front and left sleeve. But what front? Right Front or left front?

And what does it mean to knit across these points?


“Knitting across” means to work the stitches in knit stitch until you get to a certain point. In this case it’s probably knit up to a marker.
This is a top-down knit so after the cast on at the center neck, knit across the 10-sts just cast on, the left front and then left sleeve. At this point place a different marker to designate the new beginning of round.
There should be a direction earlier in the pattern that tells you where to place the markers. These markers divide the front and back from the sleeves and will be the raglan lines. There are then increases before and after each marker.
