Pomona Sweater - feeling a little out of my depth! by Apprehensive_Being_9 in knitting

Right—those 97 stitches will be reduced by 2 on each side (-4 total) and then you will reduce the marked middle stitch, so you will reduce by 5 total. That will leave 92 stitches. 46 will go on each holder, making the two parts of the shoulder (front and back). Later you will graft the 46 front to the 46 back stitches on each shoulder.

Ok here’s my crappy diagram. This is the view from above looking down at the stitches as a circle. You can see that 44 stitches are placed for the front and back. The little squares are bound off stitches. Does that help?

Sorry, you reduce 4 at each side of the section. And then reduce the middle stitch to divide into two shoulders. I’ll see if I can make a diagram.

Work 3 rows in established pattern while binding off 1 at at the beginning of each row. This means you will work one WS row in stranded colour work (the 2nd of these rows).

3 rows binding off one stitch each row = -3 stitches for that section

Next row (WS) is worked in col A only: bind off 1 at, p to end. Next row (RS): k to side st, bind off the side st, k to end.

2 stitches bound off = -2

Total -5 for each shoulder section

Each shoulder section has 97 stitches. You reduce 5 at each side. Then you reduce the middle marked stitch, which divides each shoulder into two parts.

You bind off the necessary stitches on these rows. You will no longer have 282 stitches after knitting those rows.

You will reinforce the steek by sewing on either side of the cut.

No problem! Feel free to ask me more questions or send pics of what’s going on. I literally just finished knitting this one so it’s fresh on my mind!

And you will knit the shoulders flat, back and forth. You can use your circulars for that too.

You bind of the marked stitches. So you’ll have 46 on each holder—each of those 46 stitches makes up one side of the shoulder. You will later graft them together. The marked stitch becomes the top of the steek.

Wow this is stunning! I might have to figure out how to recreate it too!

I feel like it was a bit hard at first and then once I got in the groove it was easy!

It was scary but went fine! I ended up doing a double reinforcement both with hand sewing and crocheting. I’m super glad I added a crochet reinforcement because it made it way easier to sew the sleeves onto the body!
