I don't know if you can even do that. I haven't seen or done this before it before. After reading your question, I tried to do it but I couldn't. Is it possible that the pattern meant to say pass the 9sts over the first sts? That will be manageable.
I'm sorry I can't help you much this time. Send me the rest of the pattern and I can take a look at it. Maybe, we can figure this out.
Thank you very much Ratcha for helping me with my Kelly sweater. I just have one concern, The Diamond Panel.. There are 2 of them one with 18sts across
