I am sure many are long past finished this sweater bit I am just starting- waiting to find the perfect yarn at a perfect price. Wool Eze was recommended- which I bought for a fabulous color and washability/ problem is without a scematic chart there is no way to work the proper gauge. Going on smaller and smaller needles justs gets to the point of looking like a felted piece. I can figure out the gauge for casting on from my sample but things get complicated knowing how much to cast on and off for neckline and of course the collar- HELP

Thanks Kendra. I’m making a size small, and should 17 stitches when the decreasing is finished. I did go ahead and finish the front,and at this point the neck shaping looks ok.

Which size are you making? How many should you have? As long as the neckline shaping looks ok, I’d say just increase/decrease as needed to have the correct number. If you can tell that one side is not shaped correctly then it is probably worth it to rip back and redo it. Good luck!

I’m almost finished with the front, just one more decrease, when I noticed that I have 17 stitches on one side and 18 stitches on the other. How should I proceed ?

You forgot the additional decreases along the armhole. After binding off the first 6 stitches, you decrease one stitch (armhole side) every knit row 8 times. When you finish the neck decreases you will end up with 21 stitches.

I am sooooo confused. I am working on the front of the sweater and I have gotten to the part where we are decreasing. I did the first decrease on the neck side. And then I did the decrease for the arm holes. I need to do 8 more decreases on the neck side. The way I have it figured I will still have 29 stitches left instead of the 21 I am supposed to have. 44 – 1 = 43 (first decrease) 43 – 6 = 37 (arm decrease) 37 - 1 (8 remaining decreases) = 29. Am I reading the pattern wrong or is their a mistake. HELP

Hi! You could try to examine the balls you have left and see which look like they have similar patterning from the colors in the ball, but Amazing has so many different colors that I wouldn’t make yourself crazy trying to get the sleeves to be the same. I think this sweater has more of an all-over color effect so I didn’t worry too much about matching stripes. Enjoy!

oh I think I understand now…the sides are the sides of the neck, not rows…

How do you decrease for the neck? Does it mean to make decreases in the middle or are the decreases on the armholes?

a little confused
