I am having trouble with these instructions….shape the sleeve cap as follows: put 2 sts on each side of the marker on a holder. Knit the sleeve cap back and forth on the needle placing sts at each edge on a holder every other row as follows: 8 sts 2 times. Then put all sts back on needle and knit Pattern 1.

Dear Ida, When you knit the upper part of the sleeve, you knit back and forth, and while doing that, at the beginning of each row, you put the number of stitches described on a stitch-holder (after you knitted them). Then you put all the stitches back to the circular needle, and continue with the pattern. I hope this helps. Happy Knitting!

Dear Mrs Mccoy, sleeves are generally sewn from right side - see this video. Happy assembly!

Does this cap take place under the arm? i cannot figure this out. I have knitted this portion of the pattern 3 times. the graphic does not show a cap for shoulder it looks straight across. again may i ask what is the purpose of this?
19.12.2022 kl. 15:43:DROPS Design answered:
Dear Mrs Hertel, this portion is the sleeve cap, is you will work short rows (leaving first 2 sts 1 time then 8 sts 2 times unworked on each side of mid under sleeve, ie the first 2+8+8 sts from mid under sleeve and the last 2-8-8 sts towards mid under sleeve (the middle 36 sts under sleeve the sleeve are on a thread, 16 sts on each side of mid under sleeve) - chart is just standard and just don't show this sleeve cap. Hope it can help. Happy knitting!

I followed the directions given to Mrs. Frew. The pattern was askew and the work was done under the arm. If it is a cap, shouldn't it be on the top near the shoulder? I am very confused

Dear Mrs Hertel, please let us know if the previous answer could help you or if you need more information.

I have tried knitting the sleeve cap according to the directions. When that didn't work, I went to the comments section and saw someone else asked a similar question. I followed those directions which included short rows (although no where in the pattern does it say to use short rows). That didn't work either because the pattern was askew, I am writing to you for a better and in depth explanation of the sleeve cap. I have invest a lot of time and money and would hate to rip it out.
18.12.2022 kl. 18:09:DROPS Design answered:
Dear Mrs Hertel, to shape the sleeve cap you will work: work the first 8 sts at the beg of the next row and slip them on a thread, work to the end of the row, turn, work the first 8 sts at the beg of the row and slip them on a thread, work to the end of the row. Repeat these 2 rows one more time (16 sts on the thread on each side + the 4 sts mid under sleeve), cut the yarn after the last row. Now put all stitches back on needle and work diagram M.1 over all stitches starting on middle under sleeve as before. Happy knitting!

To shape the sleeve, do I put 2 stitches on either side of the marker on a holder, then follow pattern to the end of the row. Then on the next row, add 8 stitches to one of the holders with 2 stitches (making 10 stitches on that holder), then follow pattern to end of row. At the beginning of the next row add 8 stitches to the other holder, making 10 stitches on that holder and knit to the end of the row. Then add back all held stitches, knit M1 then cast off?
10.09.2022 kl. 19:32:DROPS Design answered:
Dear Catherine, work the stitches before slipping them on the thread, ie work 2 sts at the beg of the round and slip them on a thread, work to the end of the round, turn, work the first 2 sts and slip them on a thread, continue the row to the end, turn, work the first 8 sts and slip them on a thread, finish row, turn work the first 8 sts and slip them on a thread and repeat these 2 rows one more time (= there are 2+8+8 sts on a thread on each side of the middle of sleeve =34 sts in total on the thread) then work all stitches again. Happy knitting!

Thank you.for your last reply. I am following your guidance. I am knitting size 3-4 years. Over 68 stitches on row 2 of the pattern (wrong side) k2, P2 (knitting for purl and purling for knit) ends with two purls, which are knits on the right side, meaning that I am not purling into purls on Row 3 of the pattern (right side) as I should be. Can you advise how I should proceed?
28.06.2022 kl. 18:42:DROPS Design answered:
Dear Mrs Frew, the pattern will not be symmetrical here, your number of sts is divisible by 4, if you start with K2, P2 ending with P2 from WS, work now from WS starting either with P2 (if you have to work now like a row 3) or K2 (if you have now to work a row like a row 2). Happy knitting!

Hello. I have started the sweater and will shortly need to divide front and back and continue knitting the front on the flat. Will pattern 2 be the same when I'm working on the flat? I understand that stockinette and reverse stockinette will be different from working in the round, but wanted to check about Pattern 2. Also, do I measure from the top of the rib for the length before dividing? I wish there was a video for dividing front and back when working in the round. Thanks. Catherine
25.06.2022 kl. 17:05:DROPS Design answered:
Dear Catherine, yes, M.2 is worked differently than in the round. The symbol for K is knitted in a row on the RS and purled in a row on the WS. The symbol for P is purled in a row on the RS and knitted in a row on the WS. To measure when to divide, you measure from the cast on edge. To divide for the front and back, split the stitches in half and mark the sides with marker stitches. Leave one half in an extra needle or thread and work the other half up to their final measurement. Then slip the half that was left in the thread back to the needles and work it. Happy knitting!

Can you please explain how to do the shoulder cap.
04.11.2021 kl. 13:13:DROPS Design answered:
Dear Mrs Smith, do you need the top of sleeve? You have to cast off 4 sts mid under sleeve (last 2 sts + first 2 sts on round) then work short rows like this: work back and forth slipping 8 stitches on each side on every other row a total of 2 times (= 16 sts unworked on each side), then work all stitches back on needle and work M.1. Cast off when M.1 is done. Hope this will help. Happy knitting!

I am knitting this for my grandson in size 14. I have finished the body and one sleeve. It looks like it is more likely to fit my husband who takes large because of his height. My first question is: should the back be longer than the front? The front is 53 cm long and the back is 60 cm long. Thé armhole is 18 cm wide but the top of the arm is 21 cm. The sleeve length is 43 Cm but seems quite short in relation to the body. I think I may redo the sleeves so the sweater will fit my husband.

Dear Mrs Khaladkar, the measurements in the chart can help you to adjust to the required size - please not that this pattern was written years agao as the trend was to wear wide/oversized pullover. read more about measurement charts here - you can measure a similar jumper he has and like the shape to adjust individually.

Dear Mrs Wilde, you will bind off for neck on front piece: first the middle 22-26 sts (see size), then at the beg of row from neck: 2 sts 1 time and 1 st 1 time = 3 more sts will bind off for neck. Happy knitting!
