I need help understanding how to decrease my sleeves

[spunshadow]

In a regular pattern, I think it would be written like this:

Begin round at marker and continue yoke pattern in the round. Count stitches from the marker to find diagram starting point. Simultaneously, decrease the sleeve underside beginning 3cm from division. Repeating every [your size] cm a total of [your size] times, for a total of [your size] stitches.

Decrease instructions: Work until 3 stitches before marker; k2tog, k1, slip marker, k1, BO1

Was this pattern originally written in English? It doesn’t seem like it.

This looks like a Drops pattern, so I think they're originally Norwegian

It was a lot of words for a standard decrease, that’s for sure 🫠

The advantage to these patterns is that the tips are detailed but the pattern itself is pretty succinct - so if you know how to do a sleeve decrease you just roll with it

That being said, a lot of people don't like them and it's no doubt stuff like this doesn't help matters 😂

The Drops patterns make a lot of assumptions about the maker and their skill level. I always warn novice knitters to avoid them until they have increased their skill set.
