did you ever fix this problem or figure it out. I am working on the yoke now and got to the underarm spot and realized that the right side (where I start the 5-dcs) has the correct bumber before the 10-dc increases but the left side ends with 2 short…help.

Is there an error on the pattern? I finished the left front which has a total of 12 rows but the back and right front are for a total of 14 rows. Did I miss something?

Most lefties avoid crocheting because most patterns are written for righties. I am a leftie and have been able to reverse patterns on-the-go so to speak, allowing me to create wonderful items. It would be a great gift to us lefties if the crochet (and knitting) world would offer reverse instructions. This is not criticism, just a left-handed request!

CarlaG asked:
“I’m wondering if you mean that you dc in the 12th chain 5 space? The way I read it, you do the chain 11 (or 11 foundation sc, which is what I chose to do) and then do 5 dc in the ch 5 space indicated for the size you’re making. Is that how you read it?”

Carla – once you skip the required chain 5 spaces, just pick up with the pattern stitch and continue. So,yes, you would 5dc in the next chain 5 space.

For those who didn’t make Pearl’s Cardigan because of the limited size range, there is a similar cardigan designed by Doris Chan you can see at http://www.interweavestore.com/Crochet/Patterns/Chloe-Cardigan.html?a=cme101021
The neckline and stitch pattern are not the same, but it’s lacy and has waistline detail and most important to me, it goes up to a bust measurement of 54″.
I’m not trying to be mean, but I don’t feel my math or design skills are up to using the designer’s tips on customizing the size of her beautiful garment and wanted to share this alternative with others in the same boat.
Dear Lion Brand, you provide so many lovely free patterns in a full range of sizes, please consider this the next time you choose a pattern for a CAL or KAL. In this case, there has been plenty of time for the designer + Lion Brand staff to come up with an extended size range for Pearl’s Cardigan, but you chose not to. Snap! to your larger customers. Ouch!

Thank you Joyce. That’s where I am now. I’ll keep going and look forward to Wednesday’s post to see if I’m on the right track.

Terri, Since this is where I am too, I’m wondering if you mean that you dc in the 12th chain 5 space? The way I read it, you do the chain 11 (or 11 foundation sc, which is what I chose to do) and then do 5 dc in the ch 5 space indicated for the size you’re making. Is that how you read it?

Carla,
Kristen is going to show how you divide for the fronts and back in this week’s post. There isn’t really any dividing for the sleeves, just chaining and continuing in the stitch pattern after skipping ch-5 spaces.
