Sirdar Jewelspun Jumper design 10140 - Raglan sleeve instruction

by Jo
(Hereford)

Hello - Just starting the raglan shaping.

Pattern is
Row 1 (K1 P1) 3 times, s1,k1, psso, knit to last 8 sts, k2tog (p1 k1) 3 times
Row 2 (P1 k1) 3 times p2 tog, purl to last 8 sts, p2togbl, (k1 p1) 3 times.
1st and 2nd rows set rib edges and raglan shaping.
It’s the next instruction which is confusing me!
Work 6 rows dec 1 st at each end as before in every row.

Question - do I decrease the first stitch and then( k1,p1, k1, p1, k1, p1) or do I decrease the first sts and (p1,k1,p1,k1,p1)? I’m not really sure what they mean by ‘before” either?

Thanks for your help :)

Hi,
Can someone help please? The pattern says 'Work 12 rows dec 1 st at each end as before in next and every foll 4th row'. The 2 rows previous are:
Row 1 - K1, s1, k1, psso, knit to last 3 sts, k2tog, k1.
Row 2 - Purl.
For the next row I followed the instructions on Row 1.
I think I purl the next one.
Should the next rows be plain and purl until I get 4th row and follow the instructions for Row 1 again.
Hope this makes sense.
Thanks

You work straight without decreasing 1 more row after row 1 and 2. (so that's 3 rows) Then on the next row which is the right side and the forth row, you repeat row 1 for the next dec row. Keep doing it like that until required length or stitches.

starstarstarstarstar 		Help needed with raglan shaping please
by: Melanie

I am doing the first size for the jumper but I think I have made a mistake and will have to start again 😕. I understand the first and second rows of the pattern that sets rib edges and raglan shape, but I've done those two rows for 37 rows as stated. instead should i have done 1sr row in rib pattern and then purled a plain row (meaning no decreases in the purl row) and then repeated the first decrease row etc? I hope this makes sense.

starstarstarstarstar 		Neckband of 10140
by: Helen H

Help! I’m knitting this and am a beginner! I’m stuck on the neckband
I don’t get the pattern
I’ve got 4 lots of stitches on stitch holders but suddenly it talks about stitches on left and right side of neck? What are these? I’ve checked and am sure I’ve knitted correctly to this point
I’m knitting the second size so I should have 16 on stitch holder for each sleeve, 24 for front of neck on stitch holder and 36 for back of neck on stitch holder but I’m missing
15 stitches sling left side of neck and 15 stitches along right side of neck
Don’t know how to proceed!

Hi Jo,

For the next 6 rows, you will repeat row 1 and 2. These two rows are set up rows and there are already have decreases in them. Just keep doing row 1,2,1,2,1,2 and then continue with the rest of the pattern. You started out with 94 sts and ended up with 94-12 = 82 sts, just like the pattern states.

Thank you for the question and visiting. Have fun knitting!

Ratcha
