Do I cast on the raglan ribbing stitches when making the neck?

I am terribly behind because of other projects with earlier deadlines. I am just to the sleeves, and am very disappointed there have been no "official" answers to all the questions about knitting the sleeves in the round. I, too, hate the seaming part, and my daughter hates the bulky feeling at the seam. I'd like to do them in the round, but am a little confused by all the suggestions - "2 at a time on 2 circulars", dpns, or what length to try on a single circular. Since there were so many questions about it, I wish someone, either Stephanie or LionBrand, had responded. Zontee says: Hi Beth K, the reason that there hasn't been an "official" answer is because knitting the sleeves in the round is more of a matter of preference than anything else. There are no technical reasons why they need to be made flat. In an earlier comment, Stefanie said that she preferred to make her sleeves flat and seam them, but if you would like to make them in the round, feel free. Simply pick the in-the-round method you would like. DPNs, 2 circs, or magic loop will be best, because a single circ will be too long and will stretch out your sleeve. If you need a demo of any of these methods, click here to see KnittingHelp.com's videos of small-diameter circular knitting. Hope that helps.

Reply to Norma16 (#39) Do you still need help figuring out the decreases?

I have knitted the 33 rounds and it looks that at the back neck is too wide; does not look like shown in the pattern.

Correction to my previous post. I should not try to post questions at 1:00AM. At the moment that I am starting my decrease, I have 62 stitches, so how can I have 67 stitches remaining? I would appreciate the help.

I fell behind and am trying to catch up. I am having a hard time understanding how many decreases to work and when. I added some stitches, so I have 62 stitches which puts me between a size 44-46 and 48-50. I knitted the two even rows and I am about to start the decrease row. The instructions then say to work 1-67. Is that 67 rows for size 44-46? Then it says (67) stitches remaining, but I started with 62 rows and I am doing the first decrease which will leave me with 60 stitches. Then the istructions say work the next 21 rows (1) time and then repeat decrease row 1 time more for (63) stitches rem. This does not add up to me. Please help. I may not be reading the instructions right. Thanks for your help.

I knitted my sleeves in the round and the jog is minimal. Since it’s not a full length sleeve, I believe the slight jog is fine due to the fact that part of the sleeve is usually close to the body. Hope that helps.

If you knit the sleeves in the round, is there any trick to minimizing the jog where you change from knit to purl? I’ve seen articles refering to color striping. Does the same technique work with stitch changes?
