I am not sure if I do it correctly. It always so difficult for me to understand the written instructions.
Hope to find some help here.
———-
Start with total 34 sts.
Work Row 1 to 7 and normal., then in Row 8 (CO the first sts and work till the end and CO last sts). turn
Repeat the above two more times.
** I get 28 sts. if I got the instructions right.
Then I got stuck on next steps. I just can’t figure out to get to remaining 3 sts.
And what is the On Right and On Left mean?
Very intriguing pattern, snoop. What is the name of your pattern and designer?
These are instructions for the sleeve which seems to be asymmetric.
It seems that the sleeve knit flat has a right and a left edge. At the right edge of the sleeve, I’m guessing with the RS or public side facing, cast off 9sts at the beginnng of row 1 (the next row), cast off 3sts at the beginning of row 3 and 2sts at the beginning of row 5. Then cast off one stitch at the beginning of rows 9 and 13 and then one stitch at the beginning of rows 19,25,31 and 37.
At the left edge cast off one stitch at the beginning of row 2 and then rows 10,18,26 and 34. I’m also assuming that these bind offs occur at the same time.
There will be 20 decreases on the right edge and 5 decreases at the left edge. If you start with 28sts that’ll leave you with 3 sts.
It helps me to make a table of the row numbers and also a column of the rows on which to decrease at the right edge and a column on which to decrease at the left edge. Then you can check them off as you work them.

It is Lou Sweater and I don’t know who is the designer.
I started this 3 years ago and got sick of the written instructions.
Wow… I will never thought of the way you interpreted the instructions.
Btw, what do you mean bind off at the same time?
May I ask how do I know it need to be cast-off on the same row (both edge), then turn and cast-off same row again?
Or
Cast off beginning, turn, cast off beginning then turn,?
I asked is because this pattern really get me confused. When I was doing the slope, I had it all cast off on same row (both edge).
Bind off on the right edge on the rows I listed and also, in some cases bind off on the next row on the left edge. For example, bind off one stitch on the right edge on row 9 and one stitch then on the left edge on row 10. A table with columns for the rows at each edge will really help keep these decreases in order.
You’ll always be casting off at the beginning of a row. In the example above, cast off at the beginning of row 9, work to the end of row, turn, cast off on row 10, then work to the end of row.
You could work the cast offs on the same row but it’s a fiddly technique that really is unnecessary. Casting off at the beginning of a following row works quite well and the tiny difference in row height is usually not even noticeable.
One other thought, you might consider using the sloped bind off here. I don’t know if there is a finishing edge on the sleeve but this gives a nice, smooth line to the bind offs.

Is the pattern from a yarn company or does it have a publisher listed?
Maybe this?
Thank you.
The part you’re asking about is the saddle shoulder. You can check the row gauge and the number of rows needed for the bind off. That comparison indicates that the bind offs are worked at the same time.
