Hi June, since the pattern says “rows” instead of “rounds”, you’ll be working back and forth. Hope that helps!

i have just started transferring the stitches from the stitch holder to my needles for the sleeves.
Do i work back and forth or work in a round?

Thanks for your help, Lauren. I went ahead and continued the seam with the same yarn and it turned out fine!

I completed my cardi in eight days and I love it. This was my first knitted raglan cardi and I found the pattern easy to follow. The only difficulty I had was at the bind off section for the body divide. The pattern states…”bind off next 3 sts (the yo, k1, yo)…”. I did the bind off and continued to do the knit 55 for sleeve. When doing the bind off should the yarn be cut and would you join yarn for the knit 55 sleeve section? I plan on making more of these so any help would be greatly appreciated. A picture would be very helpful!

Lauren, thanks for the tip. It only took about a hour to undo my mess. I felt good that I was able to figure out my mistake tho. I am back on tack and loving this sweater !

Lots of fun knitting this sweater!! I’ve made mine longer, past my hips, and am now working on the sleeves. Looking forward to the next blog. I’ve never “picked up” stitches so should be interesting. Happy knitting!!

Hi Carolee,
When you stop in the middle of a row, always remember that your working yarn should be attached to your right needle.
Hope this helps!

Hi Anett.
I just carried on with the yarn I used to sew up the long sleeve seam, but if you feel it would be neater to cut the yarn and then start the small underarm seam, you should do that.
Whatever works for you!
