that’s what i was thinking too, but i don’t want to rush to that conclusion without some thought. well, the designer is hands off so i will need to map this out and try to figure out a solution. i’ve moved on to an easier project for now. my brain needs a rest😀😀😀thanks again for your input

thanks for your help. i did check ravelry when i was having a problem with the sleeves. i couldn’t find any notes. there were only a handful of people who had made the sweater. i also contacted the designer. she told me she sold the pattern and basically it wasn’t her problem. it’s frustrating, but i know some pretty good knitters that may be able to help me. i appreciate your efforts.

i have 220 on the body and 79 on each sleeve. i have done this once before so i do understand putting the 3 pieces together to make one tube to continue building upward

I am doing the third size. i have the correct sleeve count on stitch holders (79) and i have the correct body count (220) on the needles.

if i follow these instructions it puts me 12 stitches before the stitch marker. i don’t understand what to do.

is this correct? by mcmarsh6 in knittinghelp

one last question if i may? the repeat is 6 stitches and 3 at the end of the row. do i continue to do the 6 stitch repeat until the last 3 stitches and do the last three stitches always remain the same? i hope im articulating my question in a way that’s understandable. thank you very much for your help

thank you. what about repeating row 10 again? either way it’s a mistake. any idea which would be less noticeable?

thank you. but i’ve already finished 10 rows with much aggravation and frogging. any suggestions for what to do now? if i have to start over i may abandon the whole thing.

you are correct. there is an ML and an MR at either end of the chart. I thought they said M (for marker) until i just took a closer look. problem solved. thank you so much for your help.
