The instructions say you are to knit with an increase of eight stitches in each odd row and yet where you give the instructions for the first seven rows there is a "yo" at the beginning and end of the row for an increase of ten stitches. Which is correct? I am determined to make this sweater!

Increases at the beginning and the end of the row are discussed in the V-Neck Shaping section of the pattern.

You place the markers to mark the raglan stitches. You can place them before or after each raglan stitch, it doesn't matter. This is just to help you to mark the place where the raglan increases to be made.

I downloaded the chart as a PDF then right clicked and enlarged it by 'zoom in' and then it was alot bigger before printing. I don't know if your PC is similar but give it a try! Let's know how you get on if you get to read this response.

I disagree that a beginner could do this. I am not a beginner, but finding this pattern difficult to follow. I wish each line was written out or put on the chart in full. I am stuck with row 9. How do I get to the point in which the chart begins?

Repeat 2 times, means total of 2 times.

The lace pattern repeat is 4 sts. You are casting on 10 sts for each sleeve. That means that you have to work 2 pattern repeats (4+4=8) and 2 more sts. Total is 10.

The purpose of the graph is to show how to handle the increases at the raglan lines, how to incorporate these stitches into a lace pattern. Since the increases are the same for all raglan lines, this graph can be used for sleeves as well as for back and fronts.

Sleeves are worked in rounds without seams, that is why the even rows are knit. See pattern notes at the beginning of the pattern.

There are 2 repeats of the pattern in the rows 1, 3 and 5, please check the pattern.

For the rows beyond row 7, please see the chart.

I love the look of this sweater, and have been a knitter for decades. I can follow your instructions regarding the raglan lines, but on page 2 you have rows 1-7 carefully written out. What is the formula for continuing to add stitches to get to the dividing row?

Poster: Juanita
July 20, 2016

I love this pattern, but it is very confusing. It states "When you have an extra 4-5 knit sts near the raglan line and front edges, start a new repeat of the pattern". Will this cause the right front to be wider than the left front?

I tried three times to make this sweater and all three times I had the same problem with the pattern leaning rather than being vertical even after I got past the raglan lines. I ended up ripping it out but would still like to make it. What am I doing wrong and what can I do to correct that?

I'm up to Row 38, so the pattern MUST be understandable! Anyway, I need a bit of clarity when you mention the number of rows to be completed. After the increase on Row 61 for the large size, am I to knit 64 MORE rows before dividing for the sleeves, or just up to Row 64 counting the previous rows? If I'm interpreting it correctly, only three rows will be knitted after Row 61 before the sleeves. Is that true?

When it says "For another 24 (32, 24, 24, 32, 34) rows continue to increase back and fronts at raglan lines in each odd row. For sleeves now increase in every 4th row only for 6 (8, 6, 6, 8, 9) times."

Does this mean you do not to the regular raglan increases for the sleeves but rather every other one?

Where it says to divide stitches as follows: (I am making size L) I have 1 st for edge, 1 st left front, 1 st raglan line, place marker, (3 sts before marker), 10 sts for sleeve, 1 st raglan line, place marker,(11 sts before I place my second marker), 26 sts back, 1st raglan line, place marker
(27 sts before this 3rd marker) 10 sts for right sleeve, 1 st raglan line, place marker (11sts before 4th marker) 1 st right front, 1 edge st. So at the left front I have 3 sts before my 1st marker and on Right front I have 2 sts after my last marker. I need to know where to place the markers. Thank you

The pattern said to purl all even rows. Is this correct? I don't understand the raglan part. It doesn't come out right.

Poster: Felicia Smith
August 12, 2013

The pattern is wrong. I have done the math and there should only be one repeat on each sleeve, not two. However, the five repeats on the back are correct. I don't think the graph is right because it does't show the complete row.
What does "when you have an extra 4-5 sts near the raglan line and front edges......mean? Why would you have extra sts?
Also, on the sleeve section it says to knit all even rounds. Should it be 'purl'?
There are many mistakes in this pattern and I wonder how many more are lurking in parts I haven't gotten to yet.
In rows 1,3, and 5 there is only 1 repeat in the sleeve section, but on row 7 there are 2 repeats (although it says 3). Can I assume that rows 7,9 and 11 will have 2 repeats and that rows 13,15 and 17 will have 3 repeats? The rows after 7 are not written out, so it leaves a lot of room for error.

UI have started this pattern 5-6 times. I never get passed row 2 without a problem. In row 3 on the sleeve, when it says "repeat from * 2 times, is that a total of 2 or 3? After row 2, my numbers are never right. Also the back section: total of 5 or 6?
Thank you.

Thank you so much for this pattern and I as well appreciate the way you wrote it. I've not started it yet, just reviewing instructions and I do have one question... "To shape the sleeve decrease the picked-up sts. In round 11: k1, k2tog, k2. In round 12: k1, k2tog, k1. In round 13: k1, k2tog. In round 15: k2tog."
Round 14 is not mentioned, is it just knitted or? Thanks.

My only complaint is the chart. I love charts, but this one is too small for me to think of using. How can I enlarge it?
