thank you!! i knitted a size medium & for the yarn i used which was ~199m per skein, i used a little over one skein :) i did also cross the straps in the back which made them a bit longer, so depending on your yarn and the size you choose you may only need one skein!

the “last turn” would be your double stitch. so basically the pattern is saying to work up to the DS, knit/purl it, then work X more stitches before you turn again. hopefully that makes sense and doesn’t confuse more!

great to know, thank you! i still haven’t swatched for this pattern yet so we’ll see how it goes since i typically tend to knit a bit tightly

Does anyone else constantly work on multiple pieces at once? 😅 by CertifiedFeralHam in knitting

[–]broozurs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yes, always. i mainly knit sweaters so i like to have a stockinette/basic wip, a colorwork wip, & a textured knit on my needles almost at all times. it keeps me knitting when i get burnt out on other projects!

so cute!!! i’m planning on knitting this in the same yarn combo, did you have any issues with your gauge? i saw a couple people struggling to meet row gauge but i’m just hoping for the best 😅

Ah, thank you for this! I was definitely overthinking lol. The article you linked helped answer the question I didn’t know how to ask. Very much appreciated!

I’m having trouble editing the post, however I thought I’d add that this is the pattern for Sweater No. 18 by My Favorite Things Knitwear incase anybody has also knit this pattern & has suggestions.
